نویسنده
چکیده
The spectra of relic gravitational waves produced as a result of cosmological expansion of the inflationary models are derived in Brans-Dicke (BD)theory of gravity.The time dependence of the very early Hubble parameter and matter energy density are derived from frequency dependent spectrum of relic gravitational waves.Also it is found that Brans-Dicke scalar field contributes to the energy density of relic gravitons.

Dilaton contributions to the cosmic gravitational wave background.
We consider the cosmological ampliication of a metric perturbation propagating in a higher-dimensional Brans-Dicke background, including a non trivial dilaton evolution. We discuss the properties of the spectral energy density of the produced gravitons (as well as of the associated squeezing parameter), and we show that the present observational bounds on the graviton spectrum provide signiican...

متن کاملA New Dimension Hidden in the Shadow of a Wall
We propose a new way to hide the fifth dimension, and to modify gravity in the far infrared. A gravitating tensional membrane in five dimensions folds the transverse space into a truncated cone, stoppered by the membrane. For near-critical tension, the conical opening is tiny, and the space becomes a very narrow conical sliver. A very long section, of length comparable to the membrane radius di...
متن کاملPhenomenological Quantum Gravity
These notes summarize a set of lectures on phenomenological quantum gravity which one of us delivered and the other attended with great diligence. They cover an assortment of topics on the border between theoretical quantum gravity and observational anomalies. Specifically, we review non-linear relativity in its relation to loop quantum gravity and high energy cosmic rays. Although we follow a ...
متن کاملGains from diversification on convex combinations: A majorization and stochastic dominance approach
By incorporating both majorization theory and stochastic dominance theory, this paper presents a general theory and a unifying framework for determining the diversification preferences of risk-averse investors and conditions under which they would unanimously judge a particular asset to be superior. In particular, we develop a theory for comparing the preferences of different convex combination...
