Reconstructing the evolution of dark energy with variations of fundamental parameters

N. J. Nunes, T. Dent, C. J. A. P. Martins +1

Under the assumption that the variations of parameters of nature and the current acceleration of the universe are related and governed by the evolution of a single scalar field, we…

Non-linear non-local Cosmology

N. J. Nunes, D. J. Mulryne

Non-local equations of motion contain an infinite number of derivatives and commonly appear in a number of string theory models. We review how these equations can be rewritten in t…

Constraints on a scale invariant power spectrum from superinflation in LQC

D. J. Mulryne, N. J. Nunes

The computation of the spectrum of primordial perturbations, generated by a scalar field during the super-inflationary phase of Loop Quantum Cosmology, is revisited. The calculatio…

Inflation: A graceful entrance from Loop Quantum Cosmology

N. J. Nunes

The evolution of a scalar field is explored taking into account the presence of a background fluid in a positively curved Universe in the framework of loop quantum cosmology. Thoug…

On the stability of field-theoretical regularizations of negative tension branes

N. J. Nunes, Marco Peloso

Any attempt to regularize a negative tension brane through a bulk scalar requires that this field is a ghost. One can try to improve in this aspect in a number of ways. For instanc…

Number counts in homogeneous and inhomogeneous dark energy models

N. J. Nunes, A. C. da Silva, N. Aghanim

In the simple case of a constant equation of state, redshift distribution of collapsed structures may constrain dark energy models. Different dark energy models having the same ene…
