Abstract: I’m going to introduce k-evolution, a relativistic N-body code, which includes clustering dark energy among its cosmological components. I’ll show the effect of dark energy non-linearities on the power spectrum of dark matter, dark energy and the gravitational potential using k-evolution results. I’ll also discuss about the importance of taking dark energy non-linearities into account for doing precision cosmology and I’ll show that for some choice of parameters the dark energy equation suffer from a new instability and blowup in finite time. My talk will be based on arXiv: 1910.01104, arXiv: 1910.01105 and arXiv:1906.04748.

Abstract: Recent rapid progress in time domain surveys makes it possible to detect various types of explosive transients (Gamma-ray bursts, Gravitational wave, supernovae, and Fast radio bursts) in the Universe in large numbers, some of which will gravitationally lensed into multiple images. Although a large number of strongly lensed distant galaxies and quasars have already been discovered, strong lensing of explosive transients opens up new applications, including improved measurements of cosmological parameters and powerful probes of small scale structures of the Universe, thanks to their rapidly evolving light curves as well as their compact sizes. Recently we have witnessed first discoveries of strongly lensed supernovae, and strong lensing events of other types of explosive transients are expected to be observed soon. In this presentation, I will review a recent paper on the current state of research on strong gravitational lensing of explosive transients and discuss future prospects.

Abstract: The swampland conjectures that are motivated by string theory offer a list of criteria that every field theory consistent with quantum gravity must admit. In particular, they constrain the inflating phases of the early and late universe. In this talk, we discuss the recently proposed trans-Planckian censorship conjecture and its consequences for inflationary cosmology. It excludes many models of inflation. Specifically, it implies that inflation must be low scale that implies severe fine-tuning of initial conditions and no primordial gravitation waves. We discuss how multiple inflationary models can explain the present horizon problem, alleviate the initial condition problem and accommodate possible detection of gravitational waves.

Abstract: Detection of light blending in a gravitational field, previously predicted by general relativity, stimulated a new line of research for astronomers. In 1986, Paczynski, regarding the dark matter problem, investigated the possibility of observing lensing of a source star light by gravitational field of another star in the Milky Way galaxy. In a simple microlensing event, the only observable parameter that has physical information is the Einstein crossing time; a characteristic time scale of microlensing events. This parameter is a function of lens mass, lens and source distance and their relative velocity. Several methods have been proposed to overcome this degeneracy problem. In this talk, after presenting a brief review of basic formalism and physics, I will show different methods of microlensing degeneracy breaking and will finally present my proposal which is mainly based on Gaia observations. The results show a continuum in mass distribution of lenses with some candidates for neutron stars and black holes.

Abstract: The swampland picture that has been emerging from string theory offers a list of criteria that every field theory consistent with quantum gravity must admit. These conditions have interesting implications for the early Universe cosmology and strongly constrain cosmological models. In this talk, we discuss the trans-Planckian censorship conjecture and its consequences for inflationary cosmology. In particular, it implies that the vanilla models of inflation are rather low scale and suffer from severe fine-tuning of initial conditions. We discuss how multiple inflationary models could alleviate the initial condition problem and accommodate a possible detection of gravitational waves in future.
