de Sitter equilibrium as a fundamental framework for cosmology
Andreas Albrecht
Cosmology might turn out to be the study of fluctuations around a "de Sitter equilibrium" state. In this article I review the basic ideas and the attractive features of this framew…
Effects of Inhomogeneity on the Causal Entropic prediction of Lambda
Daniel Phillips, Andreas Albrecht
The causal entropic principle aims to predict the unexpectedly small value of the cosmological constant Lambda using a weighting by entropy increase on causal diamonds. The origina…
The Case for Deep, Wide-Field Cosmology
Ryan Scranton, Andreas Albrecht, Robert Caldwell +14
Much of the science case for the next generation of deep, wide-field optical/infrared surveys has been driven by the further study of dark energy. This is a laudable goal (and the…
Curvature Constraints from the Causal Entropic Principle
Brandon Bozek, Andreas Albrecht, Daniel Phillips
Current cosmological observations indicate a preference for a cosmological constant that is drastically smaller than what can be explained by conventional particle physics. The Cau…
Findings of the Joint Dark Energy Mission Figure of Merit Science Working Group
Andreas Albrecht, Luca Amendola, Gary Bernstein +8
These are the findings of the Joint Dark Energy Mission (JDEM) Figure of Merit (FoM) Science Working Group (SWG), the FoMSWG. JDEM is a space mission planned by NASA and the DOE fo…
