  1. Astrophysical cosmology
    In standard Big Bang theory, the `age' of the universe, measured from a given surface of constant density or constant temperature, is the same `everywhere', i.e. independant from the point on that surface from which that age is calculated.
    But that is not necessarily the case, and a model is developped in which the age of the universe is not the same everywhere.
    Applications of this idea have been made with M.N. Celerier for two problems: the large scale heterogeneity of the 3K cosmic black body radiation and the horizon problem.
    Further applications are in preparation.
