Role of the Hubble Scale in the Weak Lensing vs. CMB Tension

Kavli Affiliate: Wayne Hu | First 5 Authors: Lucas F. Secco, Tanvi Karwal, Wayne Hu, Elisabeth Krause, | Summary: We explore a re-parameterization of the lensing amplitude tension between weak lensing (WL) and cosmic microwave background (CMB) data and its implications for a joint resolution with the Hubble tension. Specifically, we focus on the lensing […]

Report of the Topical Group on Cosmic Probes of Fundamental Physics for for Snowmass 2021

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel Holz | First 5 Authors: Rana X. Adhikari, Luis A. Anchordoqui, Ke Fang, B. S. Sathyaprakash, Kirsten Tollefson | Summary: Cosmic Probes of Fundamental Physics take two primary forms: Very high energy particles (cosmic rays, neutrinos, and gamma rays) and gravitational waves. Already today, these probes give access to fundamental physics not […]

Compressing the cosmological information in one-dimensional correlations of the Lyman-$α$ forest

Kavli Affiliate: Nickolay Y. Gnedin | First 5 Authors: Christian Pedersen, Andreu Font-Ribera, Nickolay Y. Gnedin, , | Summary: Observations of the Lyman-$alpha$ (Ly$alpha$) forest from spectroscopic surveys such as BOSS/eBOSS, or the ongoing DESI, offer a unique window to study the growth of structure on megaparsec scales. Interpretation of these measurements is a complicated […]

Local and Covariant Flow Relations for OPE Coefficients in Lorentzian Spacetimes

Kavli Affiliate: Robert M. Wald | First 5 Authors: Mark G. Klehfoth, Robert M. Wald, , , | Summary: For Euclidean quantum field theories, Holland and Hollands have shown operator product expansion (OPE) coefficients satisfy "flow equations": For interaction parameter $lambda$, the partial derivative of any OPE coefficient with respect to $lambda$ is given by […]
