Template fitting and the large-angle CMB anomalies
Kate Land, Joao Magueijo
We investigate two possible explanations for the large-angle anomalies in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB): an intrinsically anisotropic model and an inhomogeneous model. We t…
Is the Universe odd?
Kate Land, Joao Magueijo
We investigate the point-parity and mirror-parity handedness of the large angle anisotropy in the cosmic microwave background (CMB). In particular we consider whether the observed…
Lorentz invariance for mixed neutrinos
M. Blasone, J. Magueijo, P. Pires Pacheco
We show that a proper field theoretical treatment of mixed (Dirac) neutrinos leads to non-trivial dispersion relations for the flavor states. We analyze such a situation in the fra…
Cosmological Constraints on a Dynamical Electron Mass
John D Barrow, Joao Magueijo
Motivated by recent astrophysical observations of quasar absorption systems, we formulate a simple theory where the electron to proton mass ratio is allowed to vary…
The Multipole Vectors of WMAP, and their frames and invariants
Kate Land, Joao Magueijo
We investigate the Statistical Isotropy and Gaussianity of the CMB fluctuations, using a set of multipole vector functions capable of separating these two issues. In general a mult…
Phenomenological Quantum Gravity
Dagny Kimberly, Joao Magueijo
These notes summarize a set of lectures on phenomenological quantum gravity which one of us delivered and the other attended with great diligence. They cover an assortment of topic…
The axis of evil
Kate Land, Joao Magueijo
We examine previous claims for a preferred axis at in the cosmic radiation anisotropy, by generalizing the concept of multipole planarity to any shape pref…
