Second, the main work
(1) dark energy
Li miao and others recently suggested using metamaterials to simulate the expanding universe, and pointed out that casimir energy may be dark energy, at least part of it, and the former may be measured by metamaterials. If their prediction is correct, it will greatly promote the development of dark energy theory.
(2) the microwave background radiation spectrum and the skyrocketing universe
Explanation of microwave background radiation spectrum and cosmic explosion with spatio-temporal uncertainty. Li miao and his students studied the influence of the uncertainty of time and space in string theory on the power spectrum of microwave background radiation, and found that the operation of spectral index can be explained by the non-pair inflation model. This research has aroused the follow-up research of many colleagues, and the influence of these works has also been mentioned above. Recently, li miao is still considering a long-string driven inflation model, which may have a great impact once it is completed. Three articles published by two authors have been cited by others for more than 200 times.
(3) Holographic dark energy model
Li Miao's holographic dark energy model is the first dark energy model based on holographic principle, which can be used to fit experimental data. Since the publication of the article, it has attracted wide attention, and many international and domestic colleagues have conducted follow-up research. The author and his collaborators have completed four papers in this field, with the total number of citations reaching 1000.
(4) Cosmic matrix model
How to study string theory under the background of time change has always been an important unsolved problem. Recently, some matrix models under special background have been put forward, and li miao and others have completed three articles in this field, which have been cited for more than 90 times.
(5) weak gravitational conjecture
How vacuum does string theory exist in principle? Can string theory realize or even "predict" the standard model of particle physics and its parameter values and some cosmological parameters? These problems are the central problems of string theory at present. In order to limit the prediction range of string theory, Arni-Hamed and others recently put forward the weak gravity conjecture. In a sense, gravity is always the weakest force compared with any other long-range force. The research work of li miao and others points out that it is easy to get some simple proofs by reducing the dimension of a four-dimensional theory. Recently, they extended this conjecture to the case that the cosmological constant (dark energy) is positive, and put forward a new conjecture: the coupling constant of scalar field will also be limited by weak gravity. Because these works are related to the phenomenological study of chord theory, it can be predicted that this direction will grow into an important direction.
