DOI: 10.1007/s10701-020-00335-7
Abstract: We show that the big bang is a coordinate singularity for a large class of $$k = -1$$k=-1 inflationary FLRW spacetimes which we have dubbed ‘Milne-like.’ By introducing a new set of coordinates, the big… read more here.

Abstract: If a convex body in $\mathbb{R}^n$ is covered by the union of convex bodies, multiple subadditivity questions can be asked. The subadditivity of the width is the subject of the celebrated plank theorem of Th.… read more here.
