Calibrating Gamma-Ray Bursts by Using a Gaussian Process with Type Ia Supernovae

Nan Liang, Zihao Li, Xiaoyao Xie +1

In this paper, we calibrate the Amati relation (the - correlation) of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) in a cosmology-independent way. By using Gaussian process to…

Gamma ray burst constraints on cosmological models from the improved Amati correlation

Yang Liu, Nan Liang, Xiaoyao Xie +3

An improved Amati correlation was constructed in (ApJ 931 (2022) 50) by us recently. In this paper, we further study constraints on the CDM and CDM models from the gamma ray…

The improved Amati correlations from Gaussian copula

Yang Liu, Fuyong Chen, Nan Liang +3

In this paper, we obtain two improved Amati correlations of the Gamma-Ray burst (GRB) data via a powerful statistical tool called copula. After calibrating, with the low-redshift G…

Pricing S&P 500 Index Options with Lévy Jumps

Bin Xie, Weiping Li, Nan Liang

We analyze various jumps for Heston model, non-IID model and three Lévy jump models for S&P 500 index options. The Lévy jump for the S&P 500 index options is inevitable from empiri…

Interaction between dark energy and dark matter: observational constraints from OHD, BAO, CMB and SNe Ia

Shuo Cao, Nan Liang

In order to test if there is energy transfer between dark energy and dark matter, we investigate cosmological constraints on two forms of nontrivial interaction between the dark ma…

A Consistent Test of the Distance-Duality Relation with Galaxy Clusters and Type Ia Supernave

Nan Liang, Zhengxiang Li, Puxun Wu +3

We propose a new consistent method to test of the distance-duality (DD) relation which related angular diameter distances (DA) to the luminosity distances (DL) in a cosmology-indep…

Testing the phenomenological interacting dark energy with observational data

Shuo Cao, Nan Liang, Zong-Hong Zhu

In order to test the possible interaction between dark energy and dark matter, we investigate observational constraints on a phenomenological scenario, in which the ratio between t…
