Correlation Between the Effective Neutrino Number and Curvature
ORAL
Abstract
Cosmological data seems to favor models with more than three neutrinos. This talk focuses on recent discussion regarding additional sterile neutrinos and neutrino mass constraints in cosmology. We present a theoretical argument for correlation between the number of effective neutrinos and the curvature of the universe, which is confirmed by statistical analysis.
