Gravitational production of super-Hubble-mass particles: an analytic approach

Cosmic Microwave Background Fluctuations from Gravitational Waves: An Analytic Approach

We develop an analytic approach to calculation of the temperature and polarisation power spectra of the cosmic microwave background due to inflationary gravitational waves. This approach complements the more precise numerical results by providing insight into the physical origins of the features in the power spectra. We explore the use of analytic approximations for the gravitational-wave evolu...

Global Analytic Approach to Super Teichmüller Spaces

FUZZY GRAVITATIONAL SEARCH ALGORITHM AN APPROACH FOR DATA MINING

The concept of intelligently controlling the search process of gravitational search algorithm (GSA) is introduced to develop a novel data mining technique. The proposed method is called fuzzy GSA miner (FGSA-miner). At first a fuzzy controller is designed for adaptively controlling the gravitational coefficient and the number of effective objects, as two important parameters which play major ro...

The Hubble Constant from (CLASS) Gravitational Lenses

One of the main objectives of the Cosmic Lens All-Sky Survey (CLASS) collaboration has been to find gravitational lens (GL) systems at radio wavelengths that are suitable for the determination of time delays between image pairs. The survey is now near completion and at least 18 GL systems have been found. Here, I will discuss our efforts to measure time delays from several of these systems with...

The Hubble Constant from the Gravitational Lens

We present a refined gravitational lens model of the four-image lens system B1608+656 based on new and improved observational constraints: (i) the three independent time-delays and flux-ratios from Very Large Array (VLA) observations, (ii) the radio-image positions from Very Large Baseline Array (VLBA) observations, (iii) the shape of the deconvolved Einstein Ring from optical and infrared Hubb...
