A Lower Bound on the Number of Fundamental Constants
William Luke Matthewson
We describe here, for the first time, a lower bound on the total number of fundamental constants required for a mathematical description of our physical universe to be complete. Th…
Could We Be Fooled about Phantom Crossing?
Ryan E. Keeley, Arman Shafieloo, William L. Matthewson
Recent data from DESI Year 2 BAO, Planck CMB, and various supernova compilations suggest a preference for evolving dark energy, with hints that the equation of state may cross the…
Isotropy Test with Quasars Using Method of Smoothed Residuals
Akhil Antony, Stephen Appleby, William L Matthewson +1
To assess the significance and scale dependence of anomalous large scale modes in the CatWISE quasar data, we generate smoothed number density fields on the sphere and study their…
Star-Crossed Labours: Checking Consistency Between Current Supernovae Compilations
William L. Matthewson, Arman Shafieloo
We make use of model-independent statistical methods to assess the consistency of three different supernova compilations: Union3, Pantheon+ and DES 5-year supernovae. We expand the…
Redshift weighted galaxy number counts
William L Matthewson, Dennis Stock, Ruth Durrer
In this paper we introduce the `redshift fluctuation' as a gauge-invariant cosmological observable and give its fully relativistic expression at first order in cosmological perturb…
Small scale effects in the observable power spectrum at large angular scales
William L. Matthewson, Ruth Durrer
In this paper we show how effects from small scales can enter the angular-redshift power spectrum . In particular, we show that spectroscopic surveys with high redshi…
The Flat Sky Approximation to Galaxy Number Counts
William L. Matthewson, Ruth Durrer
We derive and test an approximation for the angular power spectrum of galaxy number counts in the flat sky limit. The standard density and redshift space distortion (RSD) terms in…
