In this thesis we study the Einstein-Aether (E-A) theory from the point of view of its cosmological perturbations. We are interested in the constraints that may be obtained from this analysis and the ...
Fernández, Daniel (Fernández Moreno) (Date of defense: 2013-06-14)
The purpose of this thesis is to put forth and present a series of new applications of the gauge/string duality to areas of high energy physics and condensed matter physics. The contributions showcased ...
