21 cm power spectrum in interacting cubic Galileon model

Bikash R. Dinda, Md. Wali Hossain, Anjan A. Sen

We show the detectability of interacting and non-interacting cubic Galileon models from the CDM model through the 21 cm power spectrum. We show that the interferometric observat…

Consistency of Cubic Galileon Cosmology: Model-Independent Bounds from Background Expansion and Perturbative Analyses

Suddhasattwa Brahma, Md. Wali Hossain

We revisit the cosmological dynamics of the cubic Galileon model in light of the recently proposed model-independent analyses of the Pantheon supernova data. At the background leve…

A study on Cubic Galileon Gravity Using N-body Simulations

Jiajun Zhang, Bikash R. Dinda, Md. Wali Hossain +2

We use N-body simulation to study the structure formation in the Cubic Galileon Gravity model where along with the usual kinetic and potential term we also have a higher derivative…

Relating the scalar weak gravity conjecture and the swampland distance conjecture for an accelerating universe

Suddhasattwa Brahma, Md. Wali Hossain

For any quasi de Sitter background, we show that a recently proposed scalar weak gravity conjecture (sWGC) follows from the swampland distance conjecture, together with the covaria…

Dark energy beyond quintessence: Constraints from the swampland

Suddhasattwa Brahma, Md. Wali Hossain

The string theory swampland proposes that there is no UV-completion for an effective field theory with an exact (metastable) de Sitter vacua, thereby ruling out standard CDM cos…

Avoiding the string swampland in single-field inflation: Excited initial states

Suddhasattwa Brahma, Md. Wali Hossain

One class of single-field inflationary models compatible with the recently-conjectured Swampland criteria would be those in which a Hubble slow-roll parameter is not t…

Bigravity and Horndeski gravity connected by a disformal coupling

Radouane Gannouji, Md. Wali Hossain, Nur Jaman +1

In this paper, we have studied bi-gravity theory in a very specific limit where we focused only on one degree of freedom generated by the massive graviton. We have analyzed the mod…
