Abstract

It is now possible to directly access, via the Internet, a bibliographical database on Gravitational Lensing (GL) literature. The Interactive Gravitational Lensing Bibliography (IGLB) totalizes more than 2400 titles of published articles in scientific journals and meeting proceedings (except those fully dedicated to Gravitational Lenses) as well as papers submitted to the e-Print archive. This database is a product from the Gravitational Lensing Bibliography first presented in 1993 (Proceedings of the 31st Liege International Astrophysical Colloquium). It is easy to do field based searches for title keywords, authors (using boolean operators), year and journal (a pull-down list of the most cited journals is available). Access to the original version of published articles as well as to preprints submitted to the e-Print archive at the URL address http://xxx.lanl.gov/ is also provided. This database is updated approximately every two months. The "complete" bibliography of published articles is also available in the form of Latex and PostScript files. The IGLB can be accessed at the URL: http://vela.astro.ulg.ac.be/grav_lens

Deformation procedure for scalar fields in cosmology

This work offers an extension of the deformation procedure introduced in field theory to the case of standard cosmology in the presence of real scalar field in flat space-time. The procedure is shown to work for many models, which give rise to several different cosmic scenarios, evolving under the presence of first-order differential equations which solve the corresponding equations of motion very appropriately.

Dark Energy is the Cosmological Quantum Vacuum Energy of Light Particles-The Axion and the Lightest Neutrino

We uncover the general mechanism producing the dark energy(DE). This is only based on well known quantum physics and cosmology. We show that the observed DE originates from the cosmological quantum vacuum of light particles which provides a continuous energy distribution able to reproduce the data. Bosons give positive contributions to the DE while fermions yield negative contributions. As usual in field theory, ultraviolet divergences are subtracted from the physical quantities. The subtractions respect the symmetries of the theory and we normalize the physical quantities to be zero for the Minkowski vacuum. The resulting finite contributions to the energy density and the pressure from the quantum vacuum grow as log a(t) where a(t) is the scale factor, while the particle contributions dilute as 1/a^3(t), as it must be for massive particles. The DE equation of state P = w(z)H turns to be w(z)<-1 with w(z) asymptotically reaching the value -1 from below.A scalar particle can produce the observed DE through its quantum cosmological vacuum provided:(i)its mass is of the order of 10^{-3} eV = 1 meV,(ii) it is very weakly coupled and (iii) it is stable on the time scale of the age of the universe. The axion vacuum thus appears as a natural candidate. The neutrino vacuum (especially the lightest mass eigenstate) can give negative contributions to the DE. We find that w(z=0) is slightly below -1 by an amount ranging from [-1.5 10^{-3}] to [-8 10^{-3}] and we predict the axion mass to be in the range between 4 and 5 meV. We find that the universe will expand in the future faster than the de Sitter universe, as an exponential in the square of the cosmic time. DE arises from the quantum vacua of light particles in FRW cosmological space time in an analogous way to the Casimir effect in Minkowski spacetime with non trivial boundaries.
