Primordial Non-Gaussianity

P. Daniel Meerburg, Daniel Green, Muntazir Abidi +175

Our current understanding of the Universe is established through the pristine measurements of structure in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and the distribution and shapes of…

An observational test of the Vainshtein mechanism

Lam Hui, Alberto Nicolis

Modified gravity theories capable of genuine self-acceleration typically invoke a galileon scalar which mediates a long range force, but is screened by the Vainshtein mechanism on…

Cosmological Non-Linearities as an Effective Fluid

Daniel Baumann, Alberto Nicolis, Leonardo Senatore +1

The universe is smooth on large scales but very inhomogeneous on small scales. Why is the spacetime on large scales modeled to a good approximation by the Friedmann equations? Are…

Equivalence Principle Implications of Modified Gravity Models

Lam Hui, Alberto Nicolis, Christopher Stubbs

Theories that attempt to explain the observed cosmic acceleration by modifying general relativity all introduce a new scalar degree of freedom that is active on large scales, but i…

The Origin of the Universe as Revealed Through the Polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background

S. Dodelson, R. Easther, S. Hanany +61

Modern cosmology has sharpened questions posed for millennia about the origin of our cosmic habitat. The age-old questions have been transformed into two pressing issues primed for…
