Modified gravity approaches to the cosmological constant problem
The FADE Collaboration, Heliudson Bernardo, Benjamin Bose +5
The cosmological constant and its phenomenology remain among the greatest puzzles in theoretical physics. We review how modifications of Einstein's general relativity could allevia…
Radially stabilized inflating cosmic strings
Florian Niedermann, Robert Schneider
In General Relativity, cosmic strings are well known to produce a static, locally flat spacetime with a wedge removed. If the tension exceeds a critical value, the deficit angle be…
The Universe as a Cosmic String
Florian Niedermann, Robert Schneider, Stefan Hofmann +1
The cosmology of brane induced gravity in six infinite dimensions is investigated. It is shown that a brane with Friedmann-Robertson-Walker symmetries necessarily acts as a source…
