Emergent Cosmological Intervals from Ultralight Bose-Einstein Condensates in Modified Measure Theory

We present a rigorous mathematical synthesis of Modified Measure Theory (MMT) and the cosmology of ultralight Bose-Einstein Condensates (BEC). By identifying the phenomenological "measure field" of standard MMT as the macroscopic wavefunction of a cosmological BEC, we naturally d...

Resolving the S8 Tension in Ramanujan Background-Interval Cosmology

The discrepancy between the amplitude of matter fluctuations, S8S8, measured by weak lensing surveys and that inferred from the cosmic microwave background (CMB) by the Planck satellite has reached the 2−3σ2−3σ level. We propose a resolution to this tension utilizing the Ramanuja...
