The infinite turn and speculative explanations in cosmology
Reza Tavakol, Fabio Gironi
Infinity, in various guises, has been invoked recently in order to `explain' a number of important questions regarding observable phenomena in science, and in particular in cosmolo…
We have time because we shall never know
Reza Tavakol, Edward Anderson
We argue against current proposals concerning the non-existence of time. We point out that a large number of these proposals rely, at least implicitly, on the assumption of `closur…
Exact Evolution of Discrete Relativistic Cosmological Models
Timothy Clifton, Daniele Gregoris, Kjell Rosquist +1
We study the effects of inhomogeneities on the evolution of the Universe, by considering a range of cosmological models with discretized matter content. This is done using exact an…
What Planck does not tell us about inflation
Joseph Elliston, David J. Mulryne, Reza Tavakol
Planck data has not found the 'smoking gun' of non-Gaussianity that would have necessitated consideration of inflationary models beyond the simplest canonical single field scenario…
A Gravitational Entropy Proposal
Timothy Clifton, George F R Ellis, Reza Tavakol
We propose a thermodynamically motivated measure of gravitational entropy based on the Bel-Robinson tensor, which has a natural interpretation as the effective super-energy-momentu…
The inflationary bispectrum with curved field-space
Joseph Elliston, David Seery, Reza Tavakol
We compute the covariant three-point function near horizon-crossing for a system of slowly-rolling scalar fields during an inflationary epoch, allowing for an arbitrary field-space…
