Inhomogeneous Dark Energy
Ali H. Chamseddine, Viatcheslav Mukhanov
We modify Einstein General Relativity by adding non-dynamical scalar fields to account simultaneously for both dark matter and dark energy. The dark energy in this case can be dist…
Inflation without Selfreproduction
Viatcheslav Mukhanov
We find a rather unique extension of inflationary scenario which avoids selfreproduction and thus resolves the problems of multiverse, predictability and initial conditions. In thi…
Cosmology with Mimetic Matter
Ali H. Chamseddine, Viatcheslav Mukhanov, Alexander Vikman
We consider minimal extensions of the recently proposed Mimetic Dark Matter and show that by introducing a potential for the mimetic non-dynamical scalar field we can mimic nearly…
Inflation Physics from the Cosmic Microwave Background and Large Scale Structure
K. N. Abazajian, K. Arnold, J. Austermann +91
Fluctuations in the intensity and polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and the large-scale distribution of matter in the universe each contain clues about the natu…
Mimetic Dark Matter
Ali H. Chamseddine, Viatcheslav Mukhanov
We reformulate Einstein's theory of gravity, isolating the conformal degree of freedom in a covariant way. This is done by introducing a physical metric defined in terms of an auxi…
Quantum Cosmological Perturbations: Predictions and Observations
Viatcheslav Mukhanov
I consider the generic model independent predictions of the theory of quantum cosmological perturbations. To describe the stage of cosmic inflation, where these perturbations are a…
How accurately can we measure the hydrogen 2S->1S transition rate from the cosmological data?
Viatcheslav Mukhanov, Jaiseung Kim, Pavel Naselsky +2
Recent progress in observational cosmology, and especially the forthcoming PLANCK mission data, open new directions in so-called precision cosmology. In this paper we illustrate th…
Magnetic fields from inflation?
Vittoria Demozzi, Viatcheslav Mukhanov, Hector Rubinstein
We consider the possibility of generation of the seeds of primordial magnetic field on inflation and show that the effect of the back reaction of this field can be very important.…
