Decaying Dark Energy in Higher-Dimensional Gravity
J. M. Overduin, P. S. Wesson, B. Mashhoon
We use data from observational cosmology to put constraints on higher-dimensional extensions of general relativity in which the effective four-dimensional dark-energy density (or c…
Wolfgang Priester: from the big bounce to the Lambda-dominated universe
James Overduin, Hans-Joachim Blome, Josef Hoell
Wolfgang Priester was one of Germany's most versatile and quixotic astrophysicists, re-inventing himself successively as a radio astronomer, space physicist and cosmologist, and ma…
Leopold Halpern and the generalization of general relativity
James M. Overduin, Hans S. Plendl
Leopold Halpern, who was a close associate of both Erwin Schroedinger and Paul Dirac before making his own mark as a theoretical physicist of the first rank, died in Tallahassee, F…
Finite cosmology and a CMB cold spot
R. J. Adler, J. D. Bjorken, J. M. Overduin
The standard cosmological model posits a spatially flat universe of infinite extent. However, no observation, even in principle, could verify that the matter extends to infinity. I…
The nearly flat universe
R. J. Adler, J. M. Overduin
We study here what it means for the Universe to be nearly flat, as opposed to exactly flat. We give three definitions of nearly flat, based on density, geometry and dynamics; all t…
Dark Matter and Background Light
J. M. Overduin, P. S. Wesson
Progress in observational cosmology over the past five years has established that the Universe is dominated dynamically by dark matter and dark energy. Both these new and apparentl…
