Due to its peculiar nature, the parameter $n$ of this model cannot be well constrained by the SNIa dat...

Unitary Solution to a Quantum Gravity Information Paradox quant-ph gr-qc We consider a toy model of the interaction of a qubit with an exotic space-time containing a time-like curve. Consistency seems to require that the global evolution of the qubit be non-unitary. Given that quantum mechanics is globally unitary,...

The Evolution of Galaxies astro-ph The evolution of galaxies results from a combination of internal and external processes. The star formation is an internal process transforming cold and dense cores of molecular clouds to stars. It may be triggered internally by expanding shells, or externally, e. g. by galaxy col...
