SNAP-BUCKLING COSMOLOGY: A FALSIFIABLE ANALOGUE MODEL FOR RESOLVING FIVE ΛCDM ANOMALIES

ABSTRACT The standard cosmological model (ΛCDM) faces a number of fundamental anomalies (early massive galaxies, the CMB Cold Spot, satellite planes, the cosmic dipole, the Axis of Evil), explaining which requires the introduction of hypothetical "dark" entities. This paper propo...

Beyond Peak Statistics: Searching for Topological Folds in the Space Between Galaxies Using Dome Template Matching in Weak Lensing Tomography

Abstract Modern weak lensing surveys (Euclid, LSST, DES) are optimized to detect dark matter through "peak statistics" — identifying local maxima in the convergence map corresponding to dark matter halos around galaxies. This paradigm treats the space between galaxies as a smooth...
