Key research themes

1. What are the fundamental challenges and limitations of the standard ΛCDM cosmological model in explaining cosmic expansion and structure formation?

This theme focuses on critically evaluating the prevalent ΛCDM (Lambda Cold Dark Matter) model that underpins modern cosmology. It investigates known discrepancies between ΛCDM predictions and observations, its foundational assumptions such as homogeneity and isotropy (the Cosmological Principle), its use of inflation and dark energy, and how these elements reconcile or conflict with quantum mechanics, general relativity, and particle physics. The significance lies in determining whether the ΛCDM framework requires modification or replacement to coherently explain the universe's accelerated expansion, cosmic microwave background anisotropies, and large-scale structure formation.

Key finding: This paper identifies eight major inconsistencies in the ΛCDM model, including the incompatibility of observed CMB anisotropies with inflaton potentials, challenges to Big Bang nucleosynthesis assumptions, paradoxical cosmic... Read more
Key finding: Through a modified redshift model emphasizing the spatial distribution of luminous matter, this study shows cosmic accelerated expansion can be explained without invoking dark energy, opposing ΛCDM's reliance on the... Read more
Key finding: Presentation of empirical challenges to the expanding universe model, including non-dimming of brightest cluster galaxies contrary to expectations from supernova dimming, absence of predicted time-dilation effects in... Read more

2. How do alternative gravity theories such as f(Q) gravity and Brans-Dicke cosmology provide viable frameworks for cosmic acceleration and structure growth beyond General Relativity?

This theme explores modified theories of gravity that extend or replace General Relativity to account for observed cosmological phenomena like late-time acceleration and structure formation, without relying solely on dark energy or dark matter. It encompasses mathematical dynamical system analyses, exact solutions, and confrontation with observational data, aiming to test whether these frameworks can reproduce ΛCDM successes or outperform it in empirical fits and theoretical coherence.

Key finding: Employing a novel combined dynamical systems approach, this paper analyzes power-law and exponential f(Q) gravity models at both background and perturbative levels, successfully reproducing the correct growth rate of matter... Read more
Key finding: By solving Brans-Dicke field equations with a nonzero potential analytically, this work demonstrates that exponential expansion can arise without a cosmological constant. It shows that for large Brans-Dicke parameter ω (≥... Read more

3. Can quantum field theoretical and non-singular models, such as emergent and bouncing universe scenarios based on real scalar fields and cosmic diffusion, provide consistent alternatives to the classical Big Bang framework?

This theme investigates cosmological origins and early universe dynamics from the perspective of quantum field theory, canonical quantization, and thermodynamic diffusion processes. It focuses on emergent universe models that avoid initial singularities, cyclic and bouncing scenarios, and canonical quantization of cosmic fluids modeled by scalar fields. The objective is to establish physically motivated, mathematically consistent alternatives to singular Big Bang cosmology that address issues like initial conditions, particle creation, and entropy generation.

Key finding: By representing the cosmic fluid through a real scalar Klein-Gordon field and performing canonical quantization in a flat FLRW background, this paper derives conditions for a smooth quantized Hamiltonian. These conditions... Read more
Key finding: Modeling the universe as a system of two interacting fluids under a diffusion mechanism, this study obtains a cyclic cosmological evolution pattern, featuring phases of emergent accelerated expansion, deceleration,... Read more
Key finding: Using the Klein-Gordon equation for a real scalar field in a curved FLRW spacetime and quantizing the associated Hamiltonian, this paper connects quantum scalar field dynamics to cosmic diffusion and particle... Read more
Key finding: Starting from a hypothesis of a hyperenergetic spherical wave at the Big Bang onset, this paper quantifies inflation as the drastic decrease in the wave’s frequency consistent with observed cosmic temperatures post-inflation.... Read more
