Abstract

In Plasma Physics the concept of the Debye length \lambdaD is defined. This length gives the size of a volume such that from outside it the inside electrical charges, positive and negative, electrically screen each other. Given the enormous electrical potential that would develop with no screening, we conjecture that the size of the Universe R, as given by the speed of light c and its age t, R \approx ct, cannot be very much lower than the Debye length. It turns out that it is about 1/3 \lambdaD. Hence inside the volume of size ct there is an otward electrical pressure due to the lack of complete electrical screening of the charges. The Universe does not collapse under its own gravitational attraction, and we present the possibility that this is due to the effect of the repulsive forces of these electrical charges. May be there is too some other mechanism. There is strong evidence today in support of the idea that space is not only expanding but doing it in an accelerated way. We find a large number, 5x1060 that converts Planck's unit of mass, length, time, charge e and angular momentum \hbar, into the mass M, size ct, age t, total charge Q and (possibly) angular momentum of the Universe in a scale like way. It defines a black hole of mass M \approx 1056gr., size 1028 cm., characteristic time 5x1017sec, charge Q \approx 3.5 x1061e and maximum angular momentum \Hbar \approx 10121 \hbar which we identify with our Universe. The solution to the Einstein cosmological equations, including an electrical pressure due to the charge Q, is in agreement with the value of the cosmological parameters currently reported. An argument in favour of a hidden value of the curvature parameter Ωk \approx 1 is also presented here.

Constraining $f(R)$ gravity and evolving dark energy via large-scale structure and phase-space trajectories

We present a joint observational analysis confronting viable $f(R)$ modified gravity theories, specifically the Hu \& Sawicki and Starobinsky models, with background and large-scale structure (LSS) data. Utilizing Monte-Carlo Markov chain (MCMC) sampling across datasets including baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO), type Ia supernovae (SNeIa), cosmic microwave background (CMB) distance priors, and linear growth measurements ($f\sigma_8$, $f$, $\sigma_8$), we place tight constraints on the model parameters governing deviations from General Relativity. For the full dataset combination, we obtain $\log_{10} b_\mathrm{HS} = -6.325_{-1.138}^{+1.216}$ for the Hu \& Sawicki model and $b_\mathrm{S} = (0.8\pm61.0)\times10^{-4}$ for the Starobinsky model. Model comparison based on the Akaike Information Criterion indicates that these $f(R)$ extensions are statistically favored over flat $\Lambda\text{CDM}$ ($|\Delta\text{AIC}| \ge 3.99$) for the combined data. However, when considering the Bayesian Information Criterion, the evidence for support is significantly reduced. Furthermore, we construct two-dimensional phase-space diagrams in the $(\mu, \gamma)$ and $(\mu, \Sigma)$ planes across several redshifts, establishing a novel diagnostic null-test allowing us to probe for deviations from $\Lambda\text{CDM}$, corresponding to the fixed point $(1,1)$ in both planes, using LSS observables. Should future weak-lensing and galaxy surveys provide data points with $\mu-1<0$ and $\gamma-1>1$ or $\Sigma-1 < 0 $, then the aforementioned models could be directly ruled out.

Bound states in the continuum of gravitational waves

Bound states in the continuum (BICs) are ubiquitous wave phenomena, but have not yet been demonstrated for gravitational waves (GWs). Here, in-plane periodic perturbations, exponentially localized at the plane $z = 0$, are shown to lead to distributional surface energy tensors at this plane and to be regular vacuum solutions ($T_{\mu \nu} = 0$) of the linearized Einstein field equations outside of it. These are achieved by explicitly calculating the Ricci tensor components and the Ricci scalar from the metric perturbation tensor. To fulfill each vacuum solution ($R_{{\sigma \nu}_{(+, \times)}} = 0$ and $R_{{}_{(+, \times)}} = 0$), different surface polariton-like dispersions are required. These bound perturbations decay exponentially to a flat metric ($h_{{BIC}_{(+,\times)}} \propto e^{- k_z |z|}$), and each localized metric has a correspondence to a different planar GW polarization ($+,\times$). The Lorenz gauge-fulfilling solutions exist at the $\Gamma$ point in momentum space, dwelling within the continuum of wavevectors of propagating GWs. The strains in the unit cell of the periodic perturbations have opposite parities relative to the corresponding planar GWs under a $C_2$ in-plane rotation, making them incompatible by symmetry with their propagating counterpart, indicating localization via symmetry protection.

Sector-Resolved Bayesian Model Averaging for DESI-Era Cosmology

We present a quotient-space Bayesian formulation for DESI-era anomaly interpretation. Given a pattern-labeled catalog with map $i\mapsto \Act(i)$, the induced posterior $p(\Act\mid D)$, sector inclusion probabilities $P_\alpha$, co-activation probabilities $P_{\alpha\beta}$, and grouped Bayes factors $B_\alpha(D)$ are exact summaries over predeclared physical activation events. Pairwise comparisons such as $\lcdm$ versus $\wacdm$ remain ordinary Bayes-factor tests between specified families; the quotient construction addresses the coarser question of which physical sector carries posterior support when different sectors are represented by unequal numbers of catalog elements. We derive a sector-resolved DESI-CMB-SN likelihood specification for late-time background, early-time ruler, supernova calibration, perturbation, and gravitational-wave propagation sectors. The construction includes an Alcock-Paczynski/isotropic-scale BAO decomposition, a pure-ruler projection, analytic marginalization of low-rank supernova calibration modes, Fisher-normalized sector priors, inactive-sector leakage tests, log-evidence uncertainty propagation, and prior/sector-partition diagnostics. The result is a quantitative procedure for reporting model-comparison support at the level of physically interpretable sectors.
