Tensor-induced non-Gaussianity from primordial gravitational waves generates a unique scale-dependent halo bias correction that can reach order-one amplitude for rare high-redshift halos at z=7.
Cross-correlating pulsar timing and polarimetry isolates the circular polarization of isotropic stochastic GW backgrounds and shares the Hellings-Downs angular pattern.
A control variate technique using differenced estimates from realistic masked and isotropic simulations reduces the computational cost of CMB lensing bias calculations by a factor of three to five.
A Gompertzian reionization model with three nuisance parameters demotes optical depth to a derived quantity, reducing its uncertainty by a factor of three and revealing potential neutrino mass tension in CMB analyses.
Certain inflation models produce right-handed neutrinos via gravitational effects sufficient for leptogenesis to explain the baryon asymmetry, testable by inflationary gravitational waves.
Alpha-attractor quintessential inflation models are disfavored by DESI observations and Delta Neff limits from gravitational waves, as they predict an inconsistent scalar spectral index when the gravitational-wave abundance is constrained.
Classical and quantum correlation functions of inflationary perturbations diverge exponentially with e-folds when interactions are relevant, even if forced to agree at an intermediate time.
Genetic algorithm reconstructs single-field inflationary models with features in the scalar power spectrum that fit Planck 2018 CMB data better by Δχ² ≲ -10 and suggest alternative background parameters.
Two NILC extensions—one deprojecting foreground moments and one marginalizing residuals at the likelihood level—yield unbiased r estimates and consistent lensing B-mode reconstruction in SO-SAT-like simulations.
Curvaton coupling relaxes initial tuning in hilltop inflation and revives the sub-Planckian quartic model while remaining consistent with cosmological observations.
A parameterized slow-roll model and a new exponential f(R) inflation model are constrained by P-ACT-LB-BK18 data, with the latter aligning to the ACT scalar spectral index preference in both standard and EDE frameworks.
Lattice simulations show that the post-inflationary equation of state with trilinear interactions returns to zero after an initial deviation, substantially lowering stochastic gravitational wave amplitudes relative to prior estimates.
Coupling Chern-Simons gravity to a spectator field in multi-field inflation generates distinctive parity-odd scalar-tensor bispectra with perturbativity bounds on the couplings.
Reexamination of Planck CMB data finds a possible spatial-parity-breaking signal consistent with six extra dimensions compactified toroidally at the GUT scale before inflation.
Recent CMB datasets tighten 95% CL upper bounds on vector-mode amplitude r_v to 1.3e-4 (neutrino isocurvature), 6.8 (octupole), and 4.2 (sourced) at k=0.05 Mpc^-1, with no significant detection.
BROOM is a Python package that applies ILC and GILC techniques for model-independent separation of CMB, SZ, and foreground signals in microwave data along with diagnostic and simulation utilities.
MUST is a planned 6.5m Stage-V spectroscopic survey telescope targeting 100M+ galaxies and quasars to z~5.5 for large-scale structure cosmology studies.
Updated constraints on non-zero VEV parameter M from ACT+Planck data, plus lattice simulations showing oscillon formation and reheating implications.
