Abstract
With a model independent method the expansion history H(z), the deceleration parameter q(z) of the universe and the equation of state w(z) for the dark energy are reconstructed directly from the 192 Sne Ia (type Ia supernovae) data points which are contained in the new ESSENCE (Equation of State: Supernovae Trace Cosmic Expansion) Sne Ia data and the high redshift Sne Ia data. We find that the evolving properties of q(z) and w(z) reconstructed from the 192 Sne Ia data seem to be weaker than those obtained from the Gold set, but stronger than those from the SNLS (Supernova Legacy Survey) set. With a combination of the 192 Sne Ia and BAO (Baryonic Acoustic Oscillation) data, a tight constraint on Ωm0 is obtained. At the 1σ confidence level Ωm0 = 0.278−0.023+0.024, which is highly consistent with the values from the Gold + BAO and SNLS + BAO data.

Observational constraints on f(T) theory

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed the statefinder analysis and Om ( z ) diagnostic to two concrete f (T ) models, i.e., f(T ) = α ( − T ) n and f( T ) = − α T ( 1 − e p T 0 / T ), and found that a crossing of the phantom divide line is impossible for both models.

Non-Gaussianity of quantum fields during inflation

TL;DR: In this article, the shape of the bispectrum of the curvature perturbation generated in general single-field inflation models is compared with the local-type non-Gaussianity that arises from nonlinear dynamics on super-horizon scales.

Reconstructing the cosmic expansion history up to redshift z=6.29 with the calibrated gamma-ray bursts

TL;DR: In this article, a new idea to calibrate gamma-ray burst (GRB) in a completely cosmological independent manner has been proposed, and the circularity problem can be solved.

Non-Gaussianity of quantum fields during inflation

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss how non-Gaussianity of cosmological perturbations arises from inflation and present the bispectrum of the curvature perturbation generated in general single field inflation models.
