Rare Events Are Nonperturbative: Primordial Black Holes From Heavy-Tailed Distributions
Sina Hooshangi, Mohammad Hossein Namjoo, Mahdiyar Noorbala
In recent years it has been noted that the perturbative treatment of the statistics of fluctuations may fail to make correct predictions for the abundance of primordial black holes…
Beyond Schrödinger-Poisson: Nonrelativistic Effective Field Theory for Scalar Dark Matter
Borna Salehian, Hong-Yi Zhang, Mustafa A. Amin +2
Massive scalar fields provide excellent dark matter candidates, whose dynamics are often explored analytically and numerically using nonrelativistic Schrödinger-Poisson (SP) equati…
A Bayesian View on the Dr. Evil Scenario
Feraz Azhar, Alan H. Guth, Mohammad Hossein Namjoo
In "Defeating Dr. Evil with Self-Locating Belief", Adam Elga proposes and defends a principle of indifference for self-locating beliefs: if an individual is confident that his worl…
Spacetime singularities and a novel formulation of indeterminism
Feraz Azhar, Mohammad Hossein Namjoo
Spacetime singularities in general relativity are commonly thought to be problematic, in that they signal a breakdown in the theory. We address the question of how to interpret thi…
