Cover Story: The Bayesian evidence is a key tool in model selection, allowing a comparison of models with different numbers of parameters. Its use in the analysis of cosmological models has been limited by difficulties in calculating it, with current numerical algorithms requiring supercomputers. In this paper, we give exact formulae for the Bayesian evidence in the case of Gaussian likelihoods with arbitrary correlations and top-hat priors, and approximate formulae for the case of likelihood distributions with leading non-Gaussianities (skewness and kurtosis). We find that the analytical results have slightly lower precision than the thermodynamic numerical integration, while still being good enough to be useful. The main advantage is that the computational time is reduced by many orders of magnitude, thanks to the analytical expressions. View this paper

This paper recovers a broad spectrum of optical solitons for the perturbed nonlinear Schrödinger’s equation having a dual-power law of nonlinearity. The perturbation terms are from inter-modal dispersion and self-frequency shift. The integ...

Hawking radiation is an essential property of the quantum black hole. It results in the information loss paradox and provides an important clue with regard to the unification of quantum mechanics and general relativity. In previous work, the boundary...

We introduce the generalized helical hypersurface having a space-like axis in five-dimensional Minkowski space. We compute the first and second fundamental form matrices, Gauss map, and shape operator matrix of the hypersurface. Additionally, we comp...

A New Perspective on Doubly Special Relativity

  • J. M. Carmona,
  • J. L. Cortés,
  • J. J. Relancio and
  • M. A. Reyes

15 March 2023

Doubly special relativity considers a deformation of the special relativistic kinematics parametrized by a high-energy scale, in such a way that it preserves a relativity principle. When this deformation is assumed to be applied to any interaction be...

By applying the WKB (Wentzel, Kramers, Brillouin) approximation, we search for bound state solutions to the time-independent Schrödinger equation for an attractive inverse-square potential and anharmonic oscillators that stem from the interactio...

Periodic Orbits of Quantised Restricted Three-Body Problem

  • Juan Luis García Guirao and
  • Jaume Llibre

15 March 2023

In this paper, perturbed third-body motion is considered under quantum corrections to analyse the existence of periodic orbits. These orbits are studied through two approaches to identify the first (second) periodic-orbit types. The essential conditi...

Aiming at the inverse source problem of an elastic wave, a dual-driver solver is considered to reconstruct the point sources. In this way, the number, location, and magnitude of the point sources can be reconstructed from far-field measurement data....

Probing Modified Gravity Theories with Scalar Fields Using Black-Hole Images

  • Georgios Antoniou,
  • Alexandros Papageorgiou and
  • Panagiota Kanti

11 March 2023

We study a number of well-motivated theories of modified gravity with the common overarching theme that they predict the existence of compact objects, such as black holes and wormholes endowed with scalar hair. We compute the shadow radius of the res...

We study the general property of the evolution of a class of scalar fields with tracking and thawing behaviors. For the tracking solutions, we show explicitly with three different potentials that, independent of initial conditions, there exists a gen...
