  1. $\alpha'$-Bootstrap

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.5 of 10

    An infinite-dimensional algebraic structure on a megaspace yields recursive, T-duality-covariant NS-NS α' and α'^{2} corrections matching known bosonic and heterotic results up to field redefinitions.

  2. Scalar Hair at the String-Black-Hole Correspondence

    hep-th 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    All static spherical axion-dilaton solutions are SL(2,R) images of the FJNW seed, and scalar hair increases the alpha-prime curvature diagnostic at the string-black-hole correspondence surface, selecting the hairless ...

  3. Collective excitations in quantum gravity condensates

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Collective excitations analogous to phonons are derived in quantum gravity condensates within a group field theory model, yielding leading beyond-mean-field corrections to emergent Friedmann dynamics.

  4. Curvature-Assisted Dynamical Compactification in a Pre-Inflationary Higher-Dimensional Universe

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Negative curvature sustains tracker-like radion evolution in a 5D open FRW universe, enabling trapping into a compactified vacuum via Casimir and Kaluza-Klein thermal effects before 4D inflation dilutes curvature remnants.

  5. Viscosity in Isotropic Cosmological Backgrounds in General Relativity and Starobinsky Gravity

    gr-qc 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Shear viscosity does not affect the background expansion or the electromagnetic luminosity distance in isotropic cosmologies with a comoving fluid, also in Starobinsky gravity.

  6. Dark Matter Ultraviolet Freeze-in in General Reheating Scenarios

    hep-ph 2025-01 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    The paper derives analytic dark matter freeze-in yields for arbitrary power-law reheating histories and maps the gravitational production parameter space.

  7. Non-singular string cosmology via $\alpha^{\prime}$ corrections

    hep-th 2019-09 reject novelty 6.0 of 10

    The paper builds non-singular bouncing FLRW solutions in the O(d,d) invariant string cosmology action, but the higher-order coefficients are free inputs and the action consistency is unverified.

  8. LISA as a probe of pre-big-bang physics: a nested sampling analysis

    gr-qc 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Nested sampling analysis indicates LISA could constrain H1, m, sigma_i and beta in the pre-big-bang model to relative uncertainties of about 18 percent under favorable conditions when including foregrounds.

  9. Gravitational Bounce from the Quantum Exclusion Principle

    gr-qc 2025-05 reject novelty 5.0 of 10

    A closed collapsing fluid ball with a hypothetical maximum density bounces into exponential expansion, which the authors equate with inflation and dark energy, predicting a small negative curvature.

  10. Forecast Constraints on Bouncing Cosmology from High Frequency Gravitational Waves Using Superconducting LC Circuits and Resonant Cavities

    astro-ph.CO 2025-05 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    The paper forecasts that resonant-cavity and superconducting-circuit gravitational wave detectors could constrain the bounce energy scale of a generic bouncing cosmology far more tightly than astrophysical observatori...

  11. Cosmological constraints on small-scale primordial non-Gaussianity

    astro-ph.CO 2025-05 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Current pulsar-timing, CMB, BAO and PBH data constrain the small-scale local f_NL to -10.0 < f_NL < 1.2 for a monochromatic primordial power spectrum, with that constraint conditional on the spectral amplitude A_zeta = 10^-2.

  12. Science Case for the Einstein Telescope

    astro-ph.CO 2019-12 unverdicted novelty 3.0 of 10

    The Einstein Telescope will enable gravitational-wave observations up to cosmological distances, opening avenues for discoveries in astrophysics, cosmology, and fundamental physics.
