The laws of physics have a set of fundamental constants, and it is generally admitted that only dimensionless combinations of constants have physical significance. These combinations include the electromagnetic and gravitational fine structure constants, $alpha=e^2/4piepsilon_0hbar c$ and $alpha_G=Gm_p^2/hbar c$, along with the ratios of elementary-particles masses. Cosmological measurements clearly depend on the values of these constants in the past and can therefore give information on their time dependence if the effects of time-varying constants can be separated from the effects of cosmological parameters. The latter can be eliminated by using pairs of redundant measurements and here we show how such pairs conspire to give information only on dimensionless combinations of constants. Among other possibilities, we will use distance measurements based on Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) and on type Ia supernova. The fact that measurements yield information only on dimensionless combinations is traced to the fact that distances between co-moving points expand following the same function of time that governs the redshift of photon wavelengths.
We use HII starburst galaxy apparent magnitude measurements to constrain cosmological parameters in six cosmological models. A joint analysis of HII galaxy, quasar angular size, baryon acoustic oscillations peak length scale, and Hubble parameter mea
This paper uses the beta function formalism to extend the analysis of quintessence cosmological parameters to the logarithmic and exponential dark energy potentials. The previous paper (Thompson 2018) demonstrated the formalism using power and invers
We present forecasts for constraints on cosmological models which can be obtained by forthcoming radio continuum surveys: the wide surveys with the LOw Frequency ARray (LOFAR), Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) and the Westerbork O
We investigate the cosmological dependence and the constraining power of large-scale galaxy correlations, including all redshift-distortions, wide-angle, lensing and gravitational potential effects on linear scales. We analyze the cosmological inform
This investigation explores using the beta function formalism to calculate analytic solutions for the observable parameters in rolling scalar field cosmologies. The beta function in this case is the derivative of the scalar $phi$ with respect to the
