Origin of the peculiar eccentricity distribution of the inner cold Kuiper belt

A. Morbidelli, H. S. Gaspar, D. Nesvorny

Dawson and Murray-Clay (2012) pointed out that the inner part of the cold population in the Kuiper belt (that with semi major axis a<43.5 AU) has orbital eccentricities significant…

On detecting interactions in the dark sector with H(z) data

Pedro C. Ferreira, Diego Pavón, Joel C. Carvalho

An interesting approach to the cosmological coincidence problem is to allow dark matter and dark energy interact with each other also nongravitationally. We consider two general An…

Quintessential power-law cosmology: dark energy equation of state

Burin Gumjudpai

Power-law cosmology with scale factor as power of cosmic time, $a \propto t^{\a}$, is investigated. We review and discuss value of $\a$ obtained from various types of observation.…

3D Supergravity from wrapped D3-branes

Parinya Karndumri, Eoin O Colgain

AdS_3 solutions dual to N = (0,2) SCFTs arise when D3-branes wrap Kahler two-cycles in manifolds with SU(4) holonomy. Here we review known AdS_3 solutions and identify the correspo…
