Scale invariant Einstein-Cartan gravity and flat space conformal symmetry

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Georgios Karananas, Sebastian Zell

We find the conditions under which scale-invariant Einstein-Cartan gravity with scalar matter fields leads to an approximate conformal invariance of the flat space particle theory up to energies of the order of the Planck mass. In the minimal setup, these ...

Cosmological Fisher forecasts for next-generation spectroscopic surveys

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Jiaxi Yu, Cheng Zhao

Next-generation spectroscopic surveys such as the MegaMapper, MUltiplexed Survey Telescope (MUST), MaunaKea Spectroscopic Explorer (MSE), and WideField Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) are foreseen to increase the number of galaxy/quasar redshifts by an order ...

Cosmological constraints with the linear point from the BOSS survey

Cheng Zhao, Huanyuan Shan

The Linear Point (LP), defined as the mid-point between the baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) peak and the associated left dip of the two-point correlation function (2PCF), xi(s), is proposed as a new standard ruler which is insensitive to non-linear effec ...

Euclid: Cosmology forecasts from the void-galaxy cross-correlation function with reconstruction

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Yi Wang, Richard Massey

We have investigated the cosmological constraints that can be expected from measurement of the cross-correlation of galaxies with cosmic voids identified in the Euclid spectroscopic survey, which will include spectroscopic information for tens of millions ...

Euclid preparation XXIV. Calibration of the halo mass function in λ(ν)CDM cosmologies

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Gianluca Castignani, Austin Chandler Peel, Maurizio Martinelli, Slobodan Ilic, Yi Wang, Fabio Finelli, Marcello Farina

Euclid's photometric galaxy cluster survey has the potential to be a very competitive cosmological probe. The main cosmological probe with observations of clusters is their number count, within which the halo mass function (HMF) is a key theoretical quanti ...

Semi-analytic forecasts for Roman - the beginning of a new era of deep-wide galaxy surveys

Michaela Hirschmann

The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, NASA's next flagship observatory, will redefine deep-field galaxy survey with a field of view two orders of magnitude larger than Hubble and an angular resolution of matching quality. These future deep-wide galaxy sur ...

Euclid: Calibrating photometric redshifts with spectroscopic cross-correlations

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Yi Wang, Richard Massey

Cosmological constraints from key probes of the Euclid imaging survey rely critically on the accurate determination of the true redshift distributions, n(z); of tomographic redshift bins. We determine whether the mean redshift, < z >, of ten Euclid tomogra ...

Teaching machines how to find strongly lensed galaxies in cosmological sky surveys

Elodie Marie Charlène Savary

Analyzing gravitationally lensed objects enables a wide range of physical and cosmological applications, such as probing the dark matter content in galaxies and clusters or measuring the Universe's expansion rate. The precision of these applications can be ...

The completed SDSS-IV extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: a multitracer analysis in Fourier space for measuring the cosmic structure growth and expansion rate

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Cheng Zhao, Anand Stéphane Raichoor, Yuting Wang

We perform a joint BAO and RSD analysis using the eBOSS DR16 LRG and ELG samples in the redshift range of z is an element of [0.6, 1.1], and detect an RSD signal from the cross-power spectrum at a similar to 4 sigma confidence level, i.e., f sigma(8) = 0.3 ...

The completed SDSS-IV extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: measurement of the BAO and growth rate of structure of the luminous red galaxy sample from the anisotropic correlation function between redshifts 0.6 and 1

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Cheng Zhao, Yuting Wang

We present the cosmological analysis of the configuration-space anisotropic clustering in the completed Sloan Digital Sky Survey IV extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS) Data Release 16 galaxy sample. This sample consists of luminous red ...

MeV-scale seesaw and leptogenesis

Marco Drewes, Valerie Fiona Domcke, Michele Lucente

We study the type-I seesaw model with three right-handed neutrinos and Majorana masses below the pion mass. In this mass range, the model parameter space is not only strongly constrained by the requirement to explain the light neutrino masses, but also by ...

The completed SDSS-IV extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: N-body mock challenge for the eBOSS emission line galaxy sample

Cheng Zhao, Johan Comparat, Anand Stéphane Raichoor, Amélie Tamone

Cosmological growth can be measured in the redshift space clustering of galaxies targeted by spectroscopic surveys. Accurate prediction of clustering of galaxies will require understanding galaxy physics, which is a very hard and highly non-linear problem. ...

Origin of stellar prolate rotation in a cosmologically simulated faint dwarf galaxy

Pascale Jablonka, Yves Revaz

Stellar prolate rotation in dwarf galaxies is rather uncommon, with only two known galaxies in the Local Group showing such feature (Phoenix and And II). Cosmological simulations show that in massive early-type galaxies prolate rotation likely arises from ...

Stochastic gravitational-wave background from metastable cosmic strings

Valerie Fiona Domcke

A metastable cosmic-string network is a generic consequence of many grand unified theories (GUTs) when combined with cosmic inflation. Metastable cosmic strings are not topologically stable, but decay on cosmic time scales due to pair production of GUT mon ...

Einstein-Cartan Portal to Dark Matter

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Andrey Shkerin, Inar Timiryasov, Sebastian Zell

It is well known since the works of Utiyama and Kibble that the gravitational force can be obtained by gauging the Poincare group, which puts gravity on the same footing as the standard model fields. The resulting theory-Einstein-Cartan gravity-inevitably ...
