Cosmology and fundamental physics with the ELT-ANDES spectrograph
C. J. A. P. Martins, R. Cooke, J. Liske +20
State-of-the-art 19th century spectroscopy led to the discovery of quantum mechanics, and 20th century spectroscopy led to the confirmation of quantum electrodynamics. State-of-the…
News from the Swampland -- Constraining string theory with astrophysics and cosmology
Nils Schöneberg, Léo Vacher, J. D. F. Dias +2
Our current best guess for a unified theory of gravitation and quantum field theory (string theory) generically predicts a set of requirements for a consistently quantized theory,…
Runaway dilaton models: improved constraints from the full cosmological evolution
Léo Vacher, Nils Schöneberg, J. D. F. Dias +2
One of the few firm predictions of string theory is the existence of a massless scalar field coupled to gravity, the dilaton. In its presence, the value of the fundamental constant…
