In view of the recent polarization measurements in ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions, we discuss the possibility of a physical meaning of the spin angular momentum in quantum field theory and relativistic hydrodynamics.

A static and circularly symmetric lens characterized by mass and scalar charge parameters is constructed. For the small values of the scalar charge to the mass ratio, the gravitational lensing is qualitatively similar to the case of the Schwarzschild lens; however, for large values of this ratio the lensing characteristics are significantly different. The main features are the existence of two or nil Einstein ring(s) and a radial critical curve, formation of two or four images and possibility of detecting three images near the lens for sources located at relatively large angular positions. Such a novel lens may also be treated as a naked singularity lens.
I discuss constraints on the power spectrum of primordial tensor perturbations from a combination of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) measurements and the gravitational wave direct detection experiments LIGO/Virgo and DECIGO. There are two main poin ts: (1) Inflation predicts an approximately power-law form for the primordial tensor spectrum, but makes no prediction for its amplitude. Given that neither Planck nor LIGO/Virgo has actually detected primordial tensor modes, it is trivially true that no model-independent constraint on the slope of the tensor power spectrum is possible with current data. (2) CMB and LIGO/Virgo scales differ by more than 19 orders of magnitude, and 16 for DECIGO. I show that a power-law extrapolation from CMB to direct detection frequencies overestimates the amplitude of primordial tensor modes by as much as two orders of magnitude relative to an ensemble of realistic single-field inflation models. Moreover, the primordial tensor amplitude at direct detection scales is mostly uncorrelated with the tensor spectral index at CMB scales, and any constraint is strongly dependent on the specific form of the inflationary potential.
We re-analyse current single-field inflationary models related to primordial black holes formation. We do so by taking into account recent developments on the estimations of their abundances and the influence of non-gaussianities. We show that, for a ll of them, the gaussian approximation, which is typically used to estimate the primordial black holes abundances, fails. However, in the case in which the inflaton potential has an inflection point, the contribution of non-gaussianities is only perturbative. Finally, we infer that only models featuring an inflection point in the inflationary potential, might predict, with a very good approximation, the desired abundances by the sole use of the gaussian statistics.
Cosmological constraints on the scalar-tensor theory of gravity by analyzing the angular power spectrum data of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) obtained from the Planck 2015 results are presented. We consider the harmonic attractor model, in wh ich the scalar field has a harmonic potential with curvature ($beta$) in the Einstein frame and the theory relaxes toward the Einstein gravity with time. Analyzing the {it TT}, {it EE}, {it TE} and lensing CMB data from Planck by the Markov chain Monte Carlo method, we find that the present-day deviation from the Einstein gravity (${alpha_0}^2$) is constrained as ${alpha_0}^2<2.5times10^{-4-4.5beta^2} (95.45% {rm C.L.})$ and ${alpha_0}^2<6.3times10^{-4-4.5beta^2} (99.99% {rm C.L.})$ for $0<beta<0.4$. The time variation of the effective gravitational constant between the recombination and the present epochs is constrained as $G_{rm rec}/G_0<1.0056 (95.45% {rm C.L.})$ and $G_{rm rec}/G_0<1.0115 (99.99 %{rm C.L.})$. We also find that the constraints are little affected by extending to nonflat cosmological models because the diffusion damping effect revealed by Planck breaks the degeneracy of the projection effect.
We present cosmological constraints on the scalar-tensor theory of gravity by analyzing the angular power spectrum data of the cosmic microwave background obtained from the Planck 2015 results together with the baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) data . We find that the inclusion of the BAO data improves the constraints on the time variation of the effective gravitational constant by more than $10%$, that is, the time variation of the effective gravitational constant between the recombination and the present epochs is constrained as $G_{rm rec}/G_0-1 <1.9times 10^{-3} (95.45% {rm C.L.})$ and $G_{rm rec}/G_0-1 <5.5times 10^{-3} (99.99 % {rm C.L.})$. We also discuss the dependence of the constraints on the choice of the prior.
