hi all,
WORKSHOPS:
* GR simulations in cosmology - Queen Mary University of London, 7+8
September 2020
https://www.qmul.ac.uk/spa/astro/events/gr-simulations-in-cosmology/
- abstract submission is closed, but registration is still open;
- DISCLAIMER: participation in the GR/QMUL meeting requires
the use of Zoom, which requires you to install unverifiable
software on your computer (unless you use ordinary phone
only); abstracts and registration are provided on a GAFAM web service;
see * https://cosmo.torun.pl/blog/slack_zoom_prison *
for a more detailed disclaimer on Zoom/Slack;
see * https://switching.software * for community-based alternatives
to authoritarian digital online services, to bypass the
"tyranny of convenience".
AWARDS:
* http://asa.astronomy.org.au/chp.php 2020 Charlene Heisler Prize for
the most outstanding PhD thesis in astronomy - Awarded to Hayley
Macpherson for her Thesis "Inhomogeneous cosmology in an anisotropic
Universe" completed at Monash University and supervised by Daniel
Price and Paul Lasky.
SOFTWARE:
* 20th release of Einstein Toolkit - release "Turing" -

ARXIV/ADS: inhomogeneous cosmology articles since 13 May 2020:

ArXiv:2002.08336 Gauss-Bonnet-Chern approach to the averaged
Universe - Léo Brunswic, Thomas Buchert
* https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2020PhRvD.101j4046B
ArXiv:2003.06528 Cosmological signatures of torsion and how to
distinguish torsion from the dark sector - Bolejko, Krzysztof;

strictly speaking, this is beyond-GR rather than inhomogeneous
cosmology)

ArXiv:2005.06385 Construction of the cosmological model with
periodically distributed inhomogeneities with growing amplitude -

ArXiv:2006.15022 Cosmological homogeneity scale estimates are
dressed - Asta Heinesen
* https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2020arXiv200807108K

inhomogeneous cosmological toy-models without FLRW backgrounds -
