A Spacetime Foam approach to the cosmological constant and entropy
A simple model of spacetime foam, made by N wormholes in a semiclassical approximation, is taken under examination. The Casimir-like energy of the quantum fluctuation of such a model and its probability of being realized are computed. Implications on the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy and the cosmological constant are considered.
متن کاملEntropy and the cosmological constant: a spacetime-foam approach
The problem of merging General Relativity with Quantum Field Theory is known as Quantum Gravity. One aspect of this merged theories is that at the Planck scale, spacetime could be subjected to topology and metric fluctuations[1]. Such a fluctuating spacetime is known under the name of “spacetime foam” which can be taken as a model for the quantum gravitational vacuum. At this scale of lengths (...
متن کاملUnbounded entropy in spacetimes with positive cosmological constant
In theories of gravity with a positive cosmological constant, we consider product solutions with flux, of the form (A)dSp × S. Most solutions are shown to be perturbatively unstable, including all uncharged dSp × S spacetimes. For dimensions greater than four, the stable class includes universes whose entropy exceeds that of de Sitter space, in violation of the conjectured “N -bound”. Hence, if...
متن کاملThe cosmological constant
We discuss issues related with the cosmological constant problem in the light of recent observations which tend to indicate that the expansion of the universe is presently undergoing an acceleration. Models of fundamental physics which address these issues are discussed.
متن کاملThe Cosmological Constant
Contrary to popular mythology, Einstein did not invent the cosmological constant just in order construct his model universe. He discussed it earlier in “The Foundations of General Relativity”in connection with the proper structure of the source-free field equations. There he dismissed it as arbitrary and unnecessary. It was later that he found its inclusion to be essential to the construction o...
