SPT-3G+: A Cosmic Microwave Background Experiment for the South Pole Telescope
T. Natoli, Z. Ahmed, H. Athreya +72
SPT-3G+ is the next survey receiver planned to be installed in early 2029 on the 10-meter South Pole Telescope (SPT). This new receiver will feature 6,020 polarization-sensitive di…
Cosmic topology. Part IVa. Classification of manifolds using machine learning: a case study with small toroidal universes
Andrius Tamosiunas, Fernando Cornet-Gomez, Yashar Akrami +16
Non-trivial spatial topology of the Universe may give rise to potentially measurable signatures in the cosmic microwave background. We explore different machine learning approaches…
Extremal Kerr Black Hole Dark Matter from Hawking Evaporation
Quinn Taylor, Glenn D. Starkman, Michael Hinczewski +3
The Hawking process results in a monotonic decrease of the black hole mass, but a biased random walk of the black hole angular momentum. We demonstrate that this stochastic process…
Cosmic topology. Part IIa. Eigenmodes, correlation matrices, and detectability of orientable Euclidean manifolds
Johannes R. Eskilt, Yashar Akrami, Stefano Anselmi +11
If the Universe has non-trivial spatial topology, observables depend on both the parameters of the spatial manifold and the position and orientation of the observer. In infinite Eu…
Cosmic topology. Part I. Limits on orientable Euclidean manifolds from circle searches
Pip Petersen, Yashar Akrami, Craig J. Copi +9
The Einstein field equations of general relativity constrain the local curvature at every point in spacetime, but say nothing about the global topology of the Universe. Cosmic micr…
Promise of Future Searches for Cosmic Topology
Yashar Akrami, Stefano Anselmi, Craig J. Copi +12
The shortest distance around the Universe through us is unlikely to be much larger than the horizon diameter if microwave background anomalies are due to cosmic topology. We show t…
How the Universe postpones the evaporation and curtails the quantum spreading of black holes
Quinn Taylor, Glenn Starkman
Black holes are expected to evaporate through the process of Hawking radiation. This process is expected to cause the uncertainty in a black hole's position to grow to $\sim M^2/M_…
