Trans-Planckian enhancements of the primordial non-Gaussianities (2009)
This article examines how breaking a Lorentz-invariant description of nature at tiny space-time intervals would affect the non-Gaussian character of the pattern of primordial perturbations left by...
Boyanovsky, D., Holman, R., Hutasoit, Jimmy A.
We consider a sterile neutrino to be an unparticle, namely an \emph{unsterile neutrino}, with anomalous dimension $\eta$ and study its mixing with a canonical active neutrino via a see-saw mass...
Unparticle-Higgs Mixing: MSW Resonances, See-saw Mechanism and Spinodal Instabilities (2008)
Boyanovsky, D., Holman, R., Hutasoit, Jimmy A.
Motivated by slow roll inflationary cosmology we study a scalar unparticle weakly coupled to a Higgs field in the broken symmetry phase. The mixing between the unparticle and the Higgs field results...
'Tilting' the Universe with the Landscape Multiverse: The 'Dark' Flow (2008)
Mersini-Houghton, L., Holman, R.
The theory for the selection of the initial state of the universe from the landscape multiverse predicts superhorizon inhomogeneities induced by nonlocal entanglement of our Hubble volume with modes...
Unparticles and inflation (2008)
We study some of the roles for unparticles in an inflationary universe. Unparticles by themselves are not appropriate for generating the primordial perturbations since their power spectrum does not...
Intensive Blood Glucose Control and Vascular Outcomes in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes (2008)
Patel, A, MacMahon, S, Chalmers, J, Neal, B, Billot, L, Woodward, M, ...
The prevalence of Type 2 diabetes is increasing rapidly and is associated with significant cardiovascular adverse effects. The authors tested the hypothesis that, in patients with type II diabetes,...

The prevalence of Type 2 diabetes is increasing rapidly and is associated with significant cardiovascular adverse effects. The authors tested the hypothesis that, in patients with type II diabetes,...
Non-Equilibrium Dynamics Of Phase Transitions: From The Early Universe To Chiral Condensates (2007)
In this brief review we introduce the methods of quantum field theory out of equilibrium and study the non-equilibrium aspects of phase transitions. Specifically we critically study the picture of...
Evolution Of Inhomogeneous Condensates After Phase Transitions (2007)
Boyanovsky Attanasio, D. Boyanovsky, R. Holman
Using the O(4) linear oe model, we address the topic of non-equilibrium relaxation of an inhomogeneous initial configuration due to quantum and thermal fluctuations. The space-time evolution of an...
Photoproduction Enhancement From Non Equilibrium Disoriented Chiral Condensates (2007)
We study photoproduction during the non-equilibrium stages of the formation of chiral condensates within the "quench" scenario of the chiral phase transition. The dynamics is modeled with a...
Enhanced Non-Gaussianity from Excited Initial States (2007)
We use the techniques of effective field theory in an expanding universe to examine the effect of choosing an excited inflationary initial state built over the Bunch-Davies state on the CMB...
Farmer, A., Wade, A., Goyder, E., Yudkin, P., French, D., Craven, A., ...
Objective: To determine whether self monitoring, alone or with instruction in incorporating the results into self care, is more effective than usual care in improving glycaemic control in non-insulin...
Trans-Planckian signals from the breaking of local Lorentz invariance (2007)
This article examines how a breakdown of a locally Lorentz invariant, point-like description of nature at tiny space-time intervals would translate into a distinctive set of signals in the primordial...
Cosmological Avatars of the Landscape II: CMB and LSS Signatures (2006)
Holman, R., Mersini-Houghton, Laura, Takahashi, Tomo
This is the second paper in the series that confronts predictions of a model of the landscape with cosmological observations. We show here how the modifications of the Friedmann equation due to the...
Cosmological Avatars of the Landscape I: Bracketing the SUSY Breaking Scale (2006)
Holman, R., Mersini-Houghton, L., Takahashi, Tomo
We investigate the effects of quantum entanglement between our horizon patch and others due to the tracing out of long wavelength modes in the wavefunction of the Universe as defined on a particular...
Systematics of Moduli Stabilization, Inflationary Dynamics and Power Spectrum (2006)
Holman, R., Hutasoit, Jimmy A.
We study the scalar sector of type IIB superstring theory compactified on Calabi-Yau orientifolds as a place to find a mechanism of inflation in the early universe. In the large volume limit, one can...
The renormalization of the energy-momentum tensor for an effective initial state (2006)
An effective description of an initial state is a method for representing the signatures of new physics in the short-distance structure of a quantum state. The expectation value of the...
On the Decoherence of Primordial Fluctuations During Inflation (2006)
Burgess, C. P., Holman, R., Hoover, D.
We study the process whereby quantum cosmological perturbations become classical within inflationary cosmology. By setting up a master-equation formulation we show how quantum coherence for...
Clarke, P., Gray, A., Legood, R., Briggs, A., Holman, R.
Aims To develop a model for estimating the immediate and long-term healthcare costs associated with seven diabetes-related complications in patients with Type 2 diabetes participating in the UK...
An economic evaluation of atenolol vs. captopril in patients with type 2 diabetes (2001)

SO(8) and G_2 X G_2 N=1 Supergravities in D=6 (1999)
We construct the N=1 supergravity analog of the Green-Schwarz and heterotic superstring theories in 10D. We find the SO(8) theory previously found by compactification of 10D on $K3$. We also find...
