I review the dark bubble model, its connection to quantum cosmology and how the cosmological constant can be computed in terms of other fundamental scales.
Many extensions of the Standard Model of particle physics predict that one or more phase transitions took place in the early universe. Such phase transitions involve the nucleation, expansion, and collision of bubbles of the new phase. These collisions (and associated interactions of sound waves in the plasma) are substantial, potentially detectable, sources of gravitational waves. As a...
The cosmic microwave background (CMB) gives us information about the earliest history of the Universe, close after the Big Bang. After half a century of more and more sensitive CMB observations, from ground, space and balloons, we now have dozens of valuable data sets available. Each of these has their own strengths and weaknesses, including sensitivity, resolution, frequency bands, sky...
The standard model of cosmology predicts a rich phenomenology to test the fundamental physics of the origin of cosmic structure, the accelerating cosmic expansion, and dark matter with next-generation galaxy surveys. However, traditional data analysis methods focus on limited statistical summaries and overlook important information in the complex filamentary distribution of cosmic matter in...
