Replacing Anthropy with entropy: Does it work?
Irit Maor, Thomas W. Kephart, Lawrence M. Krauss +2
Probably not, because there are lots of manifestly unanthropic ways of producing entropy. We demonstrate that the Causal Entropic Principle (CEP), as a replacement for the anthropi…
Anthropics and Myopics: Conditional Probabilities and the Cosmological Constant
Irit Maor, Lawrence Krauss, Glenn Starkman
We re-examine claims that anthropic arguments provide an explanation for the observed smallness of the cosmological constant, and argue that correlations between the cosmological c…
Modified Gravity: living without Birkhoff I. DGP
De-Chang Dai, Irit Maor, Glenn Starkman
We consider the consequences of the absence of Birkhoff's theorem in theories of modified gravity. As an example, we calculate the gravitational force on a test particle due to a s…
Quantized Non-Abelian Monopoles on S^3
Irit Maor, Harsh Mathur, Tanmay Vachaspati
A possible electric-magnetic duality suggests that the confinement of non-Abelian electric charges manifests itself as a perturbative quantum effect for the dual magnetic charges.…
Voids of dark energy
Sourish Dutta, Irit Maor
We investigate the clustering properties of a dynamical dark energy component. In a cosmic mix of a pressureless fluid and a light scalar field, we follow the linear evolution of s…
Gravitational wave bursts from cosmic (super)strings: Quantitative analysis and constraints
Xavier Siemens, Jolien Creighton, Irit Maor +3
We discuss data analysis techniques that can be used in the search for gravitational wave bursts from cosmic strings. When data from multiple interferometers are available, we desc…
