Thawing quintessence with a nearly flat potential

Robert J. Scherrer, A. A. Sen

The thawing quintessence model with a nearly flat potential provides a natural mechanism to produce an equation of state parameter, w, close to -1 today. We examine the behavior of…

On fibering and splitting of 5-manifolds over the circle

Qayum Khan

Our main result is a generalization of Cappell's 5-dimensional splitting theorem. As an application, we analyze, up to internal s-cobordism, the smoothable splitting and fibering p…

The Late Time Behavior of False Vacuum Decay: Possible Implications for Cosmology and Metastable Inflating States

Lawrence M. Krauss, James Dent

We describe here how the late time behavior of the decaying states, which is predicted to deviate from an exponential form, while normally of insignificant consequence, may have im…

Metric sparsification and operator norm localization

Xiaoman Chen, Romain Tessera, Xianjin Wang +1

We study an operator norm localization property and its applications to the coarse Novikov conjecture in operator K-theory. A metric space X is said to have operator norm localizat…

Flavor Ratios of Astrophysical Neutrinos: Implications for Precision Measurements

Sandip Pakvasa, Werner Rodejohann, Thomas J. Weiler

We discuss flavor-mixing probabilities and flavor ratios of high energy astrophysical neutrinos. In the first part of this paper, we expand the neutrino flavor-fluxes in terms of t…

Upper and Lower Bounds on Gravitational Entropy

Paul H. Frampton, Thomas W. Kephart

The entropy in the interior of the Universe has many contributions including well understood ones from radiation and relic neutrinos. The gravitational entropy is larger and more s…

TriMinimal Parametrization of the Neutrino Mixing Matrix

Sandip Pakvasa, Werner Rodejohann, Thomas J. Weiler

Current experimental data on neutrino mixing are very well described by TriBiMaximal mixing. Accordingly, any phenomenological parametrization of the MNSP matrix must build upon Tr…
