Abstract:
Els cartografiats de galàxies fotomètrics actuals i futurs observaran un gran volum de l’univers que ens permetrà acotar amb precisió el model cosmològic. Tanmateix, la capacitat de delimitar el model que tenen aquests cartografiats a través de les sondes cosmològiques depèn de la precisió i certesa amb les que es determina el redshift de les galàxies. Per tant, la determinació del redshift fotomètric i els seus efectes en les anàlisis cosmològiques han de ser tractats i estudiats curosament.

Abstract:
In this thesis we push forward techniques to learn about the large scale structure formation of the universe. The approach is from theory, observations and simulations. From theory we study the growth of four non standard cosmological models: DGP model, Cardassian model, Chaplygin gas model and Coupled Quintessence model. From observations we look at the ISW effect by means of the cross-correlation between CMB maps and galaxy survey. From a compilation of data we contrain the cosmological parameters and give new evidence of dark energy. We also introduce a new method to compute errors in conf

Observations of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) are crucial components of our understanding of cosmology. Modern high resolution, ground-based CMB survey instruments provide important information about the mass and energy content of our present Universe and the high-energy physics of the Big Bang.

Abstract:
“Computational Cosmology” is the modeling of structure formation in the Universe by means of numerical simulations. These simulations can be considered as the only “experiment” to verify theories of the origin and evolution of the Universe. Over the last 30 years great progress has been made in the development of computer codes that model the evolution of dark matter (as well as gas physics) on cosmic scales and new research discipline has established itself. After a brief summary of cosmology we will introduce the concepts behind such simulations. We further present a novel computer code for

We calculate radiative gravitational corrections to the mass of a class of light scalar fields, which include the inflation and the quintessence field, and discuss constrains which arise

[Abstract]: This thesis presents a new cosmological model based on a blank-slate reconsideration of the issue of the first cause in cosmology. It is proposed that a pre-Big Bang evolution of nature occurred that removes the need for postulating the existence of matter, energy and time. This new approach leads to an underlyingconceptualisation of nature consistent with quantum mechanics.The problems of first cause and initial conditions in cosmology are reconsidered. It is proposed that the initial conditions were flawed and evolved toproduce the Big Bang as a natural response to these flaws.

It would appear at first glance that these phenomena are disjoint, and this has often led to the two fields developing their own procedures and strategies, and adopting their own nomenclature.

This thesis is concerned with the amount and distribution of dark matter in the universe and makes use of Bayesian techniques to extract maximal information. I have been using two independent approaches. I have (i) compared and combined cosmological parameter estimates from various cosmological probes and (ii) I have developed a method for estimating the mass distribution in clusters of galaxies using gravitational lensing. The first approach tests cosmological theories and estimates the cosmological parameters, including the total amount of matter. The second produces maps of the dark matter

Abstract:
We outline the application of a new method of evidence calculation called nested sampling Skilling (2004). We use a clustered ellipsoidal bound to restrict the parameter space sampled, that is generic enough to be used for even complex multimodal posteriors. We demonstrate our algorithms, COSMOCLUST makes important savings in computational time when compared with previous methods. The study of the primordial power spectrum, which seeded the structure formation observed in both the CMB and large scale structure, is crucial in unravelling early universe physics.  In this thesis we analyse a numb

Abstract:
This thesis is devoted to studying two important aspects of braneworld physics: their cosmology and their holography. We examine the Einstein equations induced on a general (n - 2)-brane of arbitrary tension, embedded in some n-dimensional bulk. The brane energy-momentum tensor enters these equations both linearly and quadratically. From the point of view of a homogeneous and isotropic brane we see quadratic deviations from the FRW equations of the standard cosmology. There is also a contribution from a bulk Weyl tensor. We study this in detail when the bulk is AdS-Schwarzschild or Reissner-No
