Breaking de Sitter Symmetry with Cosmic Topology: Cosmological Role of Infrared Vacuum Freedom

Anna Negro, Kurt Hinterbichler, Glenn D. Starkman +5

When spatial sections of spacetime are topologically nontrivial, the symmetry arguments usually used to choose the Bunch-Davies vacuum are no longer guaranteed to apply. We study t…

Cosmic topology. Part Va. Information content of the observable Universe

Deyan P. Mihaylov, Mikel Martin Barandiaran, Stefano Anselmi +14

If the Universe possesses a compact spatial topology with characteristic scale not much larger than the diameter of the observable Universe, then the associated symmetry transforma…

Cosmological perturbations and clustering mechanisms in multifield dark energy

Mohammad Arab, Yashar Akrami

We investigate the cosmological signatures of two-field dark energy with curved field-space geometry. We numerically solve the background and linear perturbation equations and asse…

Cosmology with Intensity Mapping via Statistics Beyond the Power Spectrum in the SKAO Era

Suman Majumdar, Debanjan Sarkar, Leon Noble +38

The cosmological distribution of neutral hydrogen (HI) during the post-reionization era is highly non-Gaussian due to the underlying non-linear structure formation, complex galaxy…

Quantum Signatures of Cosmic Topology: How Casimir Backreaction Transmits Isotropy Violation

Anna Negro, Kurt Hinterbichler, Glenn D. Starkman +17

A finite, scheme-independent Casimir contribution to the stress-energy tensor arises naturally for quantum fields in universes with non-trivial spatial topology. We compute this Ca…

Cosmic topology. Part IIc. Detectability with non-standard primordial power spectrum

Joline Noltmann, Andrius Tamosiunas, Deyan P. Mihaylov +13

Non-trivial spatial topology of the Universe can imprint potentially observable signatures on the cosmic microwave background (CMB). In this study, we investigate how deviations fr…
