abstract

We derive a new upper bound on the tensor-to-scalar ratio parameter $r$ using the frequentist profile likelihood method. We vary all the relevant cosmological parameters of the $\Lambda$CDM model, as well as the nuisance parameters. Unlike the Bayesian analysis using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC), our analysis is independent of the choice of priors. Using $Planck$ Public Release 4, BICEP/Keck Array 2018, $Planck$ CMB lensing, and BAO data, we find an upper limit of $r<0.037$ at 95% C.L., similar to the Bayesian MCMC result of $r<0.038$ for a flat prior on $r$ and a conditioned $Planck$ lowlEB covariance matrix.

  1. Inflationary trispectrum of gauge fields from scalar and tensor exchanges

    hep-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The inflationary trispectrum of gauge fields from scalar and tensor exchanges is derived analytically, yielding beta^zeta_nl = (b^zeta_nl)^2 in the counter-collinear limit and growing flattened-limit signals.

  2. Determination of neutron star radius from pulse profile modeling using profile likelihood

    astro-ph.HE 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Profile-likelihood maximization over nuisance parameters in X-PSI recovers injected neutron-star radius to <1σ on synthetic data, with precision comparable to MultiNest Bayesian inference but ~400× lower CPU cost.

  3. Curvature perturbations from vacuum transition during inflation

    astro-ph.CO 2025-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Vacuum transitions during inflation, modulated by a light spectator field, can generate curvature perturbations with non-Gaussianity fNL ~ O(10) in a Higgs inflation setup.

  4. The SKAO Pulsar Timing Array

    astro-ph.IM 2026-07 accept novelty 3.5 of 10

    An SKAO PTA with ~174 millisecond pulsars can dominate nanohertz GW sensitivity within four years and enable continuous-wave detections plus anisotropy maps of the gravitational-wave background.

  5. Constraints on Lorentz Invariance Violation from Gamma-ray Burst rest-frame spectral lags using Profile Likelihood

    astro-ph.HE 2025-02 conditional novelty 3.0 of 10

    A profile-likelihood reanalysis of 56 GRB rest-frame spectral lags gives 95% lower limits E_QG ≥ 2.07e14 GeV (linear) and E_QG ≥ 3.71e5 GeV (quadratic).
