Inflation, quantum fluctuations and cosmological perturbations
David Langlois
These lectures are intended to give a pedagogical introduction to the main current picture of the very early universe. After elementary reviews of general relativity and of the sta…
Cosmology with an extra-dimension
David Langlois
I present the main features of the brane cosmology scenario, according to which our universe is a self-gravitating brane embedded in a five-dimensional spacetime.
Gravitation and cosmology in a brane-universe
David Langlois
Recent theoretical developments have generated a strong interest in the ``brane-world'' picture, which assumes that ordinary matter is trapped in a three-dimensional submanifold, u…
Relativistic solution of Iordanskii problem in multi-constituent superfluid mechanics
Brandon Carter, David Langlois, Reinhard Prix
Flow past a line vortex in a simple perfect fluid or superfluid gives rise to a transverse Magnus force that is given by the well known Joukowski lift formula. The problem of gener…
Superfluidity in relativistic neutron stars
David Langlois
The purpose of these notes is to give a brief review of superfluidity in neutron stars. After a short presentation explaining why and how superfluidity is expected in the crust and…
Centrifugal buoyancy as a mechanism for neutron star glitches
Brandon Carter, David Langlois, David M. Sedrakian
The frequent glitches (sudden increases of the apparent angular velocity) observed in certain pulsars are generally believed to be attributable to discontinuous angular momentum tr…
