Heterotic Warm Inflation

Arjun Berera, Heliudson Bernardo, Suddhasattwa Brahma +3

We propose a two-field model of warm inflation motivated by a heterotic string construction, involving an axion and a dilaton-like scalar field with non-trivial kinetic mixing. Gau…

Kinetic Mixing and the Phantom Illusion: Axion-Dilaton Quintessence in Light of DESI DR2

Michael W. Toomey, Ellie Hughes, Mikhail M. Ivanov +1

Recent results from DESI BAO analyses suggest that dark energy may not be a cosmological constant and is in fact dynamical. Furthermore, the data suggest that the equation of state…

FlowLensing: Simulating Gravitational Lensing with Flow Matching

Hamees Sayed, Pranath Reddy, Michael W. Toomey +1

Gravitational lensing is one of the most powerful probes of dark matter, yet creating high-fidelity lensed images at scale remains a bottleneck. Existing tools rely on ray-tracing…

How Theory-Informed Priors Affect DESI Evidence for Evolving Dark Energy

Michael W. Toomey, Gabriele Montefalcone, Evan McDonough +1

Recent measurements of baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) have been interpreted to suggest that dark energy may be evolving. In…

Kinetically Coupled Dark Matter Condensates

Michael W. Toomey, Savvas M. Koushiappas, Stephon Alexander

Dark matter consisting of ultralight bosons can form a macroscopic Bose-Einstein condensate with distinctive observational signatures. While this possibility has been extensively s…

Full-shape analysis with simulation-based priors: cosmological parameters and the structure growth anomaly

Mikhail M. Ivanov, Andrej Obuljen, Carolina Cuesta-Lazaro +1

We explore full-shape analysis with simulation-based priors, which is the simplest approach to galaxy clustering data analysis that combines effective field theory (EFT) on large s…
