67. Weak lensing and modifying gravity

Jochen Weller et al. are trying to constrain the modified gravity theories with weak lensing data combined with baryon acoustic oscillations and supernovae data. (…)


66. Some interesting talks worth watching

Steve Carlip talks about topologically massive gravity at Perimeter, namely, about 3d topologically massive gravity in AdS and finds that it is unstable (even for chiral values Strominger mentioned at Strings 08). (…)


23. Eye on ArXiv: 21 Apr 2008 - SUSY/non-SUSY duality

And so the new week began… Would be fun to finish another paper till Friday (the subject is “IR divergencies in de Sitter space”). (…)
