Abstract

In this study, we investigate two widely recognized Interacting Dark Energy(IDE) models and assess their compatibility with observational data, focusing on the growth rate of matter perturbations. We explore IDE models with different equations of state(EoS) parameters for Dark Energy (DE), including the CPL parameterization and a constant value for $w_{\mathrm{de}}$. To constrain the parameters of the IDE models using background data, we employ a Markov Chain Monte Carlo(MCMC) analysis. Our results show that both IDE-I and IDE-II models are Compatible with observational data, although with slight variations influenced by the homogeneity or clustering of DE. Following that, we investigate the growth of matter perturbations and perform a comprehensive statistical analysis utilizing both the background and growth rate data. The growth rate in IDE models exhibits deviations compared to the $Λ\mathrm{CDM}$ model due to the impact of homogeneity or clustering of DE, as well as the selection of the EoS parameter. However, we find that the IDE models show good compatibility with the growth rate data. Furthermore, we explore how the clustering or homogeneity of DE and the selection of the EoS parameter affect the evolution of the relative difference in the growth rate of IDE models, $Δf$, in comparison to the $Λ\mathrm{CDM}$ model. Lastly, we employ the AIC and BIC criteria to evaluate and identify the best model that is compatible with the observational data. The selection of the model depends on the homogeneity or clustering of DE, the EoS parameter, and the dataset used. Overall, the IDE-I and IDE-II models exhibit agreement with the data, with slight deviations depending on specific scenarios and parameters.

Large primordial non-Gaussianity from transient turns in Higgs-$R^2$ inflation

We investigate the generation of primordial non-Gaussianities in multifield Higgs--$R^2$ inflation, focusing on the effects of transient turning trajectories in the hyperbolic field space manifold. We compute the full bispectrum without relying on slow-roll or local approximations and follow the complete superhorizon evolution of curvature and isocurvature perturbations. We show that transient turns efficiently transfer isocurvature fluctuations into the adiabatic sector, generating sizeable local non-Gaussianities. For a benchmark Higgs nonminimal coupling $ξ_h = 0.1$ and quartic coupling $λ= 10^{-10}$, we obtain $f_{\rm NL}^{\rm loc}\simeq -17.7$. As the Higgs nonminimal coupling increases, the turning rate is progressively suppressed and the model approaches the effective single-field attractor, recovering the Maldacena consistency relation $f_{\rm NL}\rightarrow 0.0159$. Comparing our predictions with current CMB constraints, we find that primordial non-Gaussianity provides a sensitive probe of the Higgs nonminimal coupling and can significantly restrict the viable parameter space of the model.

From quantum fluctuations to galaxy power spectrum multipoles

These notes trace large-scale structure from primordial curvature perturbations generated by inflationary quantum fluctuations to galaxy power-spectrum multipoles. Three core lectures develop the linear matter power spectrum, spherical and anisotropic collapse, galaxy bias, redshift-space distortions, the Kaiser model, and multipole estimators with Gaussian covariance. The extension develops nonlinear bias and the one-loop effective field theory model used in full-shape analyses. Derivations are explicit; appendices collect longer calculations and solutions. The core lectures assume undergraduate-level cosmology; the extension assumes familiarity with perturbation theory.

A universal connection between lens density profiles and low-frequency wave optics in gravitational-wave lensing

We investigate the low-frequency behavior of the amplification factor in gravitational lensing and explore how it encodes information about the density profile of the lensing object. We derive the low-frequency expansion of the amplification factor under the Born approximation for a broad class of projected density profiles. For spherically symmetric profiles that decay faster than any power law at large distances, we derive a systematic expansion of the amplification factor in powers of frequency, with the logarithmic dependence appearing only in the leading term, and show that each expansion coefficient is determined by a finite set of moments of the density profile. We then extend the analysis to profiles with power-law tails and demonstrate that such profiles induce additional non-analytic frequency dependences, including fractional powers and logarithmic terms, which directly reflect the asymptotic behavior of the density distribution. Furthermore, we investigate the effects of non-sphericity and show that contributions from the quadrupole moment appear only as higher-order corrections relative to the spherically symmetric component in the low-frequency regime. Finally, we investigate the validity of the Born approximation in the low-frequency expansion. We derive a criterion for the maximum order of the low-frequency expansion up to which the Born approximation remains dominant over the post-Born corrections.
