The Nexus between Cosmology and Elementary Particle Physics: Testing Theoretical Speculations through Observations of the Cosmic Microwave Background Anisotropies
Mairi Sakellariadou
The origin of the large scale structure in the universe - galaxies, quasars, clusters, voids, sheets - is one of the most important questions in cosmology. One can show that some n…
Cosmic Strings and Coherence
Mark Hindmarsh, Mairi Sakellariadou, Graham R. Vincent
Cosmic strings provide a radically different paradigm for the formation of structure to the prevailing inflationary one. They afford some extra technical complications: for example…
Global textures and the Doppler peaks
Alejandro Gangui, Ruth Durrer, Mairi Sakellariadou
We review recent work aimed at showing how global topological defects influence the shape of the angular power spectrum of the CMB radiation on small scales. While Sachs-Wolfe fluc…
