Coupled Variations of Fundamental Couplings and Primordial Nucleosynthesis
Alain Coc, Nelson J. Nunes, Keith A. Olive +2
The effect of variations of the fundamental nuclear parameters on big-bang nucleosynthesis are modeled and discussed in detail taking into account the interrelations between the fu…
The acceleration of the universe and the physics behind it
Jean-Philippe Uzan
Using a general classification of dark enegy models in four classes, we discuss the complementarity of cosmological observations to tackle down the physics beyond the acceleration…
Models of inflation with primordial non-Gaussianities
Francis Bernardeau, Tristan Brunier, Jean-Philippe Uzan
We present a class of models in which the primordial metric fluctuations do not necessarily obey Gaussian statistics. These models are realizations of mechanisms in which non-Gauss…
Tracking quintessence by cosmic shear - Constraints from VIRMOS-Descart and CFHTLS and future prospects
Carlo Schimd, Ismael Tereno, Jean-Philippe Uzan +6
Dark energy can be investigated in two complementary ways, by considering either general parameterizations or physically well-defined models. Following the second route, we explore…
Big bang nucleosynthesis constraints on scalar-tensor theories of gravity
Alain Coc, Keith A. Olive, Jean-Philippe Uzan +1
We investigate BBN in scalar-tensor theories of gravity with arbitrary matter couplings and self-interaction potentials. We first consider the case of a massless dilaton with a qua…
