Topics in Inflationary Cosmology and Astrophysics
In this dissertation, we introduce a general way of modeling inflation in a framework that is independent of the exact nature of the inflationary potential. Because of the choice of our initial conditions and the continuity of the scale factor in its first two derivatives, we obtain non-divergent re...

In this dissertation, we introduce a general way of modeling inflation in a framework that is independent of the exact nature of the inflationary potential. Because of the choice of our initial conditions and the continuity of the scale factor in its first two derivatives, we obtain non-divergent results without the need for any renormalization beyond what is required in Minkowski space. The second part of this dissertation deals with a post-Minkowski approximation to a binary point mass system with helical symmetry. The third part of this dissertation discusses the detection sensitivity of the IceCube Neutrino Telescope for observing interactions involving TeV-scale black holes produced by an incoming high-energy cosmic neutrino colliding with a parton in the Antarctic ice of the South Pole. We also include in this dissertation a brief summary of relevant cosmology and an appendix giving a parameterized, exact radiation-reaction solution. : Ph.D. Thesis, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 2008 |
