TL;DR: In this paper, a model that describes a massive graviton together with a remaining Boulware-Deser ghost mode was analyzed and it was shown that even ghostly theories of modified gravity can yield models that are viable at both classical and quantum levels and therefore they should not be ruled out.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the prospects for further constraining the Constrained Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (CMSSM) with future ton-scale direct detection experiments.

TL;DR: Higher-order statistics (HOS) developed by independent teams now outperform standard two-point estimators in terms of statistical precision thanks to their sensitivity to the non-Gaussian features of large-scale structure as discussed by the authors .

TL;DR: In this article, a debiasing method is proposed to recover true cosmologies without running the full parameter estimation pipeline with exact theoretical calculations, which can therefore provide a fast way of obtaining accurate values of cosmological parameters and estimates of exact posterior probability distributions from ultra-large scale observations.

TL;DR: In this paper, a nonlocal modification to general relativity (GR) on large scales was proposed, which provides a model of late-time cosmic acceleration in the absence of the cosmological constant and with the same number of free parameters as in standard cosmology.
