Revisiting CMB constraints on dark matter annihilation

Kavli Affiliate: Masahiro Kawasaki | First 5 Authors: Masahiro Kawasaki, Hiromasa Nakatsuka, Kazunori Nakayama, Toyokazu Sekiguchi, | Summary: The precision measurements of the cosmic microwave background power spectrum put a strong constraint on the dark matter annihilation cross section since the electromagnetic energy injection by the dark matter annihilation affects the ionization history of the […]

Palatini gravity with nonmetricity, torsion, and boundaries in metric and connection variables

Kavli Affiliate: J. S. Villasenor | First 5 Authors: Fernando Barbero G., Juan Margalef-Bentabol, Valle Varo, Eduardo J. S. Villaseñor, | Summary: We prove the equivalence in the covariant phase space of the metric and connection formulations for Palatini gravity, with nonmetricity and torsion, on a spacetime manifold with boundary. To this end, we will […]
