Higgsed Chromo-Natural Inflation

Peter Adshead, Emil Martinec, Evangelos I. Sfakianakis +1

We demonstrate that Chromo-Natural Inflation can be made consistent with observational data if the SU(2) gauge symmetry is spontaneously broken. Working in the Stueckelberg limit,…

Irruption of massive particle species during inflation

Michael A. Fedderke, Edward W. Kolb, Mark Wyman

All species of (non-conformally-coupled) particles are produced during inflation so long as their mass is not too much larger than , the expansion rate during inflation. It…

Detectability of Weak Lensing Modifications under Galileon Theories

Youngsoo Park, Mark Wyman

Theories of modified gravity attempt to reconcile physics at the largest and the smallest scales by explaining the accelerated expansion of our universe without introducing the cos…

Neutrinos help reconcile Planck measurements with both Early and Local Universe

Cora Dvorkin, Mark Wyman, Douglas H. Rudd +1

In light of the recent BICEP2 B-mode polarization detection, which implies a large inflationary tensor-to-scalar ratio r_{0.05}=0.2^{+0.07}_{-0.05}, we re-examine the evidence for…

Galaxy Infall Kinematics as a Test of Modified Gravity

Ying Zu, D. H. Weinberg, Elise Jennings +2

Infrared modifications of General Relativity (GR) can be revealed by comparing the mass of galaxy clusters estimated from weak lensing to that from infall kinematics. We measure th…

Sex-specific recombination rates and allele frequencies affect the invasion of sexually antagonistic variation on autosomes

Minyoung Wyman, Mark Wyman

The introduction and persistence of novel sexually antagonistic alleles can depend upon factors that differ between males and females. Understanding the conditions for invasion in…
