Are Domain Walls ruled out ?
Luca Conversi, Alessandro Melchiorri, Laura Mersini +1
Recent analysis of the combined data of cosmic microwave background, galaxy clustering and supernovae type Ia observations have set strong constraints on the equation of state para…
The State of the Dark Energy Equation of State
Alessandro Melchiorri, Laura Mersini, Carolina J. Odman +1
By combining data from seven cosmic microwave background experiments (including the latest WMAP results) with large scale structure data, the Hubble parameter measurement from the…
Short distance signatures in Cosmology: Why not in Black Holes?
Roberto Casadio, Laura Mersini
Current theoretical investigations seem to indicate the possibility of observing signatures of short distance physics in the Cosmic Microwave Background spectrum. We try to gain a…
Equation of State of the Transplanckian Dark Energy and the Coincidence Problem
M. Bastero-Gil, L. Mersini
Observational evidence suggests that our universe is presently dominated by a dark energy component and undergoing accelerated expansion. We recently introduced a model, motivated…
Modified Dispersion Relations from Closed Strings in Toroidal Cosmology
Mar Bastero-Gil, Paul H. Frampton, Laura Mersini
A long-standing problem of theoretical physics is the exceptionally small value of the cosmological constant measured in natural Planckian units. Here we derive t…
SN1A data and the CMB of Modified Curvature at short and long distances
M. Bastero-Gil, L. Mersini
The SN1a data, although inconclusive, when combined with other observations makes a strong case that our universe is presently dominated by dark energy. We investigate the possibil…
