We calibrated the peak energy-peak luminosity relation of GRBs (so called Yonetoku relation) using 33 events with the redshift $z < 1.62$ without assuming any cosmological models. The luminosity distances to GRBs are estimated from those of large amount of Type Ia supernovae with $z<1.755$. This calibrated Yonetoku relation can be used as a new cosmic distance ladder toward higher redshifts. We determined the luminosity distances of 30 GRBs in $1.8 < z < 5.6$ using the calibrated relation and plotted the likelihood contour in $(Omega_m,Omega_Lambda)$ plane. We obtained $(Omega_m, Omega_{Lambda})= (0.37^{+0.14}_{-0.11}, 0.63^{+0.11}_{-0.14})$ for a flat universe. Since our method is free from the circularity problem, we can say that our universe in $1.8 < z < 5.6$ is compatible with the so called concordance cosmological model derived for $z < 1.8$. This suggests that the time variation of the dark energy is small or zero up to $zsim 6$.

Previous researches on high-energy photon events from gamma-ray bursts~(GRBs) suggest a light speed variation $v(E)=c(1-E/E_{mathrm{LV}})$ with $E_{mathrm{LV}}=3.6times10^{17}~mathrm{ GeV}$, together with a pre-burst scenario that hight-energy photon
s come out about 10 seconds earlier than low-energy photons at the GRB source. However, in the Lorentz invariance violating scenario with an energy dependent light speed considered here, high-energy photons travel slower than low-energy photons due to the light speed variation, so that they are usually detected after low-energy photons in observed GRB data. Here we find four high-energy photon events which were observed earlier than low-energy photons from Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope~(FGST), and analysis on these photon events supports the pre-burst scenario of high energy photons from GRBs and the energy dependence of light speed listed above.
We construct a vacuum of string theory in which the magnitude of the vacuum energy is $< 10^{-123}$ in Planck units. Regrettably, the sign of the vacuum energy is negative, and some supersymmetry remains unbroken.
The existence of inhomogeneities in the observed Universe modifies the distance-redshift relations thereby affecting the results of cosmological tests in comparison to the ones derived assuming spatially uniform models. By modeling the inhomogeneitie
s through a Zeldovich-Kantowski-Dyer-Roeder (ZKDR) approach which is phenomenologically characterized by a smoothness parameter $alpha$, we rediscuss the constraints on the cosmic parameters based on Supernovae type Ia and Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) data. The present analysis is restricted to a flat $Lambda$CDM model with the reasonable assumption that $Lambda$ does not clump. A $chi^{2}$-analysis using 557 SNe Ia data from the Union2 Compilation Data (Amanullah {it et al.} 2010) constrains the pair of parameters ($Omega_m, alpha$) to $Omega_m=0.27_{-0.03}^{+0.08}$($2sigma$) and $alpha geq 0.25$. A similar analysis based only on 59 Hymnium GRBs (Wei 2010) constrains the matter density parameter to be $Omega_m= 0.35^{+0.62}_{-0.24}$ ($2sigma$) while all values for the smoothness parameter are allowed. By performing a joint analysis, it is found that $Omega_m = 0.27^{+0.06}_{-0.03}$ and $alpha geq 0.52$. As a general result, although considering that current GRB data alone cannot constrain the smoothness $alpha$ parameter our analysis provides an interesting cosmological probe for dark energy even in the presence of inhomogeneities.
We adopt in this work the idea that the building blocks of the visible Universe belong to a class of the irreducible representations of the Poincare group of transformations (the things) endowed with classificatory quantum numbers (the properties). A
fter a discussion of this fundamentality, the question of the nature of both dark components of the Universe which are deemed necessary, but have not been observed, is analyzed within this context. We broadly discuss the ontology of dark matter/dark energy in relation to the irreducible representations of the Poincare group + quantum numbers, pointing out some cases in which the candidates can be associated to them, and others for which a reclassification of both the dark and visible (ordinary) components would be needed.
We investigate prolonged engine activities of short gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs), such as extended and/or plateau emissions, as high-energy gamma-ray counterparts to gravitational waves (GWs). Binary neutron-star mergers lead to relativistic jets and mer
ger ejecta with $r$-process nucleosynthesis, which are observed as SGRBs and kilonovae/macronovae, respectively. Long-term relativistic jets may be launched by the merger remnant as hinted in X-ray light curves of some SGRBs. The prolonged jets may dissipate their kinetic energy within the radius of the cocoon formed by the jet-ejecta interaction. Then the cocoon supplies seed photons to non-thermal electrons accelerated at the dissipation region, causing high-energy gamma-ray production through the inverse Compton scattering process. We numerically calculate high-energy gamma-ray spectra in such a system using a one-zone and steady-state approximation, and show that GeV--TeV gamma-rays are produced with a duration of $10^2-10^5$ seconds. They can be detected by {it Fermi}/LAT or CTA as gamma-ray counterparts to GWs.
