Cosmological CPT Violation, Baryon/Leptogenesis and CMB Polarization
Mingzhe Li, Jun-Qing Xia, Hong Li +1
In this paper we study the cosmological CPT-violation and its implications in baryo/leptogenesis and CMB polarization. We propose specifically a variant of the models of gravitatio…
The cosmological behavior of Bekenstein's modified theory of gravity
F. Bourliot, P. G. Ferreira, D. F. Mota +1
We study the background cosmology governed by the Tensor-Vector-Scalar theory of gravity proposed by Bekenstein. We consider a broad family of potentials that lead to modified grav…
Varying "constants" in astrophysics and cosmology and ...
Thomas Dent
We review astrophysical, cosmological and terrestrial evidence for and against the constancy of fundamental parameters of particle physics, and discuss theoretical issues of unific…
RG flow of the Polyakov-loop potential: First status report
J. Braun, H. Gies, H. J. Pirner
We study SU(2) Yang-Mills theory at finite temperature in the framework of the functional renormalization group. We concentrate on the effective potential for the Polyakov loop whi…
Effects of the Running of the QCD Coupling on the Energy Loss in the Quark-Gluon Plasma
Jens Braun, Hans-Jürgen Pirner
Finite temperature modifies the running of the QCD coupling alpha_s(k,T) with resolution k. After calculating the thermal quark and gluon masses selfconsistently, we determine the…
On the Eddington limit in accretion discs
D. Heinzeller, W. J. Duschl
Although the Eddington limit has originally been derived for stars, recently its relevance for the evolution of accretion discs has been realized. We discuss the question whether t…
