Cosmology intertwined: A review of the particle physics, astrophysics, and cosmology associated with the cosmological tensions and anomalies

Frédéric Courbin, Julien Lesgourgues, Fabio Finelli, Florian Niedermann, Mikhail Ivanov, Emre Ozulker, Melissa Joseph, Suresh Kumar, Richard Irving Anderson, Hsin-Yu Chen, Jie Wang, Adriano Agnello

The standard Lambda Cold Dark Matter (Lambda CDM) cosmological model provides a good description of a wide range of astrophysical and cosmological data. However, there are a few big open questions that make the standard model look like an approximation to ...

Constraining the photon coupling of ultra-light dark-matter axion-like particles by polarization variations of parsec-scale jets in active galaxies

Mikhail Ivanov

Dark matter may consist of axion-like particles with ultra-low masses. Two-photon interactions of these particles affect the polarization of radiation propagating through the dark matter. Coherent oscillations of the Bose condensate of the particles induce ...

Non-perturbative probability distribution function for cosmological counts in cells

Sergey Sibiryakov, Mikhail Ivanov

We present a non-perturbative calculation of the 1-point probability distribution function (PDF) for the spherically-averaged matter density field. The PDF is represented as a path integral and is evaluated using the saddle-point method. It factorizes into ...

Precision theoretical methods for large-scale structure of the Universe

Mikhail Ivanov

We develop new analytic methods to accurately describe the formation of cosmic large-scale structure. These methods are based on the path integral formalism and allows one to efficiently address a number of long-standing problems in the field. We describe ...

Time-sliced perturbation theory with primordial non-Gaussianity and effects of large bulk flows on inflationary oscillating features

Mikhail Ivanov

We extend the formalism of time-sliced perturbation theory (TSPT) for cosmological large-scale structure to include non-Gaussian initial conditions. We show that in such a case the TSPT interaction vertices acquire new contributions whose time-dependence f ...

The clustering of the SDSS-IV extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey DR14 quasar sample: first measurement of baryon acoustic oscillations between redshift 0.8 and 2.2

Time-sliced perturbation theory for large scale structure I: general formalism

Sergey Sibiryakov, Diego Blas Temino, Mikhail Ivanov

We present a new analytic approach to describe large scale structure formation in the mildly non-linear regime. The central object of the method is the time-dependent probability distribution function generating correlators of the cosmological observables ...

On constraining the speed of gravitational waves following GW150914

Sergey Sibiryakov, Diego Blas Temino, Mikhail Ivanov

We point out that the observed time delay between the detection of the signal at the Hanford and Livingston LIGO sites from the gravitational wave event GW150914 places an upper bound on the speed of propagation of gravitational waves, c (gw) ae(2) 1.7 in ...

Systematic treatment of non-linear effects in Baryon Acoustic Oscillations

Mikhail Ivanov

In this contribution we will discuss the non-linear effects in the baryon acoustic oscillations and present a systematic and controllable way to account for them within time-sliced perturbation theory. ...

Time-sliced perturbation theory II: baryon acoustic oscillations and infrared resummation

Sergey Sibiryakov, Diego Blas Temino, Mikhail Ivanov

We use time-sliced perturbation theory (TSPT) to give an accurate description of the infrared non-linear effects affecting the baryonic acoustic oscillations (BAO) present in the distribution of matter at very large scales. In TSPT this can be done via a s ...

Constraining the production of cosmic rays by pulsars

Mikhail Ivanov

One of the possible sources of hadronic cosmic rays (CRs) are newborn pulsars. If this is indeed the case, they should feature diffusive gamma-ray halos produced by interactions of CRs with interstellar gas. In this paper we try to identify extended gamma- ...

Cosmological constraints on deviations from Lorentz invariance in gravity and dark matter

Sergey Sibiryakov, Julien Lesgourgues, Diego Blas Temino, Benjamin Audren, Mikhail Ivanov

We consider a scenario where local Lorentz invariance is violated by the existence of a preferred time direction at every space-time point. This scenario can arise in the context of quantum gravity and its description at low energies contains a unit time-l ...

UV-extending ghost inflation

Sergey Sibiryakov, Mikhail Ivanov

We present a setup that provides a partial UV-completion of the ghost inflation model up to a scale which can be almost as high as the Planck mass. This is achieved by coupling the inflaton to the Lorentz-violating sector described by the Einstein-aether t ...
