“…We calculate neutrino fluxes above various threshold energies for points along the coannihilation/rapid-annihilation and focus-point strips where the CMSSM yields the correct cosmological relic density for tan(beta) = 10 and 55 for $\mu$ > 0, exploring their sensitivities to uncertainties in the spin-dependent and -independent scattering matrix elements. …”

“…The two-point summary statistics is one of the most commonly used tools in the study of cosmological structure. Starting from the theoretical power spectrum defined in the 3D volume and obtained via the process of ensemble averaging, we establish the construction of the “observed 3D power spectrum,” folding the unequal-time information around the average position into the wave modes along the line of sight. …”

“…I present three relations, striking with their simplicity and fundamental appearance; the first one connects the Compton wavelength of a pion and dark energy density of the Universe; the second one connects Compton wavelength of a pion and the mass distribution of non-baryonic dark matter in a Galaxy; while the third one relates mass of a pion to fundamental physical constants and cosmological parameters. All these relations are in excellent numerical agreement with observations.…”

“…In particular, we explain why dimensional reduction in all internal world-volume directions including time leads to a metric (related by analytic continuation to a cosmological metric) which does not depend on p-brane charges, i.e. is the same as the metric following by reduction from a higher-dimensional `neutral' Schwarzschild black hole.…”

“…So when Stephen Shenker, a Stanford University theorist who was moderating a panel discussion here on the future of the putative theory of everything, asked for a show of hands on the fate of a strange number known as the cosmological constant, some 400 physicists and mathematicians wer happy to swallow their doubts and vote (2 pages)…”

“…We propose a minimal model framework for physics below the Planck scale with the following features: (i) it is based on no-scale supergravity, as favoured in many string compactifications, (ii) it incorporates Starobinsky-like inflation, and hence is compatible with constraints from the Planck satellite, (iii) the inflaton may be identified with a singlet field in a see-saw model for neutrino masses, providing an efficient scenario for reheating and leptogenesis, (iv) supersymmetry breaking occurs with an arbitrary scale and a cosmological constant that vanishes before radiative corrections, (v) regions of the model parameter space are compatible with all LHC, Higgs and dark matter constraints.…”

“…In the cosmological context, for the Standard Model to be valid up to the scale of inflation, the top quark Yukawa coupling $y_t$ should not exceed the critical value $y_t^{crit}$, coinciding with good precision (about 0.02%) with the requirement of the stability of the electroweak vacuum. …”
