f (T ) gravitational baryogenesis | We investigate how baryogenesis can occur by the presence of an f (T )-related gravitational term. We study various cases of f (T ) gravity, and we discuss in detail the effect of the novel terms on the baryon-to-entropy ratio. Additionally, we study the constraints imposed by the observational values of the baryon-to-... | [

Non-Gaussianity as a particle detector | We study the imprints of massive particles with spin on cosmological correlators. Using the framework of the effective field theory of inflation, we classify the couplings of these particles to the Goldstone boson of broken time translations and the graviton. We show that it is possible to generate observable non-Gauss... | [

Viscosity parameter in dissipative accretion flows with mass outflow around black holes | Numerical hydrodynamic simulation of inviscid and viscous flows have shown that significant outflows could be produced from the CENtrifugal pressure-supported BOundary Layer or CENBOL of an advective disc. However, this barrier is weakened in presence of viscosity, more so, if there are explicit energy dissipations at ... | [
