Cosmological Limits on Slightly Skew Stresses
We present an analysis of the cosmological evolution of matter sources with small anisotropic pressures. This includes electric and magnetic fields, collisionless relativistic particles, gravitons, antisymmetric axion fields in low-energy string cosmologies, spatial curvature anisotropies, and stresses arising from simple topological defects. We calculate their evolution during the radiation an...
متن کاملLimits on Cosmological Magnetic Fields and Other Anisotropic Stresses
We discuss the cosmological evolution of matter sources with small anisotropic pressures. This includes electric and magnetic fields, collisionless relativistic particles, gravitons, antisymmetric axion fields in low-energy string cosmologies, spatial curvature anisotropies, and stresses arising from simple topological defects. In many interesting cases the evolution displays a special critical...
متن کاملA Note on Diffusion Limits of Chaotic Skew Product Flows
We provide an explicit rigorous derivation of a diffusion limit – a stochastic differential equation with additive noise – from a deterministic skewproduct flow. This flow is assumed to exhibit time-scale separation and has the form of a slowly evolving system driven by a fast chaotic flow. Under mild assumptions on the fast flow, we prove convergence to a stochastic differential equation as th...
متن کاملLimits on cosmological variation of quark masses and strong interaction
Recent astronomical data suggest a possible variation of the fine structure constant α = e/h̄c at the 10 level over a time-scale of 10 billion years, see [1] (a discussion of other limits can be found in Ref. [2] and references therein). The data motivated immediately more general discussions of possible variations of other constants. Unlike for the electroweak forces for the strong interaction ...
متن کاملCosmological mass limits on neutrinos, axions, and other light particles
The small-scale power spectrum of the cosmological matter distribution, together with other cosmological data, provides a sensitive measure of the hot dark matter fraction, leading to restrictive neutrino mass limits. We extend this argument to generic cases of low-mass thermal relics. We vary the cosmic epoch of thermal decoupling, the radiation content of the universe, and the new particle’s ...
