On three dimensions as the preferred dimensionality of space via the Brandenberger-Vafa mechanism
Brian Greene, Daniel Kabat, Stefanos Marnerides
In previous work it was shown that, in accord with the Brandenberger-Vafa mechanism, three is the maximum number of spatial dimensions that can grow large cosmologically from an in…
Gravitational Lensing as Signal and Noise in Lyman-alpha Forest Measurements
Marilena LoVerde, Stefanos Marnerides, Lam Hui +2
In Lyman-alpha forest measurements it is generally assumed that quasars are mere background light sources which are uncorrelated with the forest. Gravitational lensing of the quasa…
Dynamical Decompactification and Three Large Dimensions
Brian Greene, Dan Kabat, Stefanos Marnerides
We study string gas dynamics in the early universe and seek to realize the Brandenberger - Vafa mechanism - a goal that has eluded earlier works - that singles out three or fewer s…
Bouncing and cyclic string gas cosmologies
Brian Greene, Daniel Kabat, Stefanos Marnerides
We show that, in the presence of a string gas, simple higher-derivative modifications to the effective action for gravity can lead to bouncing and cyclic cosmological models. The m…
