Cosmological and astrophysical aspects of finite-density QCD
Dominik J. Schwarz
The different phases of QCD at finite temperature and density lead to interesting effects in cosmology and astrophysics. In this work I review some aspects of the cosmological QCD…
Amplification of Cosmological Inhomogeneities by the QCD Transition
Christoph Schmid, Dominik J. Schwarz, Peter Widerin
The cosmological QCD transition affects primordial density perturbations. If the QCD transition is first order, the sound speed vanishes during the transition and density perturbat…
Predictions of inflation: the slow roll approximation vs. exact results
Dominik J. Schwarz, Jerome Martin
Inflation predicts the generation of cosmological perturbations. Usually, the power spectra for the scalar and tensor modes are calculated with help of the slow roll approximation.…
Amplitude of superhorizon cosmological perturbations
Jerome Martin, Dominik J. Schwarz
We study the influence of reheating on super-horizon density perturbations and gravitational waves. We correct wrong claims [L. P. Grishchuk Phys. Rev. D 50, 7154 (1994) and gr-qc/…
Reply to `Comment on ``The influence of cosmological transitions on the evolution of density perturbations'' '
Jerome Martin, Dominik J. Schwarz
We reply to L.P. Grishchuk's comment (gr-qc/9801011) on our paper ``The Influence of Cosmological Transitions on the Evolution of Density Perturbations'' (Phys. Rev. D 57, 3302, 19…
