A Quantum Gravitational Mechanism for Isotropization of de Sitter Cosmologies
Stephon Alexander, Bruno Alexandre, Daine L. Danielson +1
Today, the observable cosmos exhibits a remarkable degree of isotropy and plausibly began in a nearly isotropic initial state. The properties of the Lorentzian Chern-Simons-Kodama…
Perturbations in pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone Higgs Inflation
Stephon Alexander, Humberto Gilmer, Cooper Niu
Pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone (pNG) Higgs Inflation is a novel approach to relate the Higgs boson and its interaction with Electroweak gauge bosons with cosmic inflation, with the potenti…
What can galaxy shapes tell us about physics beyond the standard model?
Oliver H. E. Philcox, Morgane J. König, Stephon Alexander +1
The shapes of galaxies trace scalar physics in the late-Universe through the large-scale gravitational potential. Are they also sensitive to higher-spin physics? We present a gener…
