Torsion at different scales: from materials to the Universe

NE Mavromatos, P Pais, A Iorio - Universe, 2023 - mdpi.com
The concept of torsion in geometry, although known for a long time, has not gained
considerable attention from the physics community until relatively recently, due to its diverse …

Recent advances in cosmological singularities

O Trivedi - Symmetry, 2024 - mdpi.com
The discovery of the Universe's late-time acceleration and dark energy has led to a great
deal of research into cosmological singularities, and in this brief review, we discuss all the …

Quasinormal modes of Schwarzschild black holes in projective invariant Chern-Simons modified gravity
