Gravitational Gauge Fields and the Cosmological Constant
ADSTRACT We describe field theories for which the action is completely independent of the metric and connection of the space-time manifold. The metric in our approach is no more a fundamental field than a hadron field is a fundamental field in &CD. The fundamental fields in the action are O(5) gauge fields and combinations of these fields are interpreted as the metric and connection so that con...
متن کاملGauge-dependent cosmological 'constant'
When the cosmological constant of spacetime is derived from the 5D inducedmatter theory of gravity, we show that a simple gauge transformation changes it to a variable measure of the vacuum which is infinite at the big bang and decays to an astrophysically acceptable value at late epochs. We outline implications of this for cosmology and galaxy formation. PACS numbers: 04.20.Cv, 04.50.+h, 98.62...
متن کامل0 Gravitational Collapse and Cosmological Constant
We consider here the effects of a non-vanishing cosmological term on the final fate of a spherical inhomogeneous collapsing dust cloud. It is shown that depending on the nature of the initial data from which the collapse evolves, and for a positive value of the cosmological constant, we can have a globally regular evolution where a bounce develops within the cloud. We characterize precisely the...
متن کاملCosmological Constant, Gauge Hierarchy And Warped Geometry
It is suggested that the mechanism responsible for the resolution of the gauge hierarchy problem within the warped geometry framework can be generalized to provide a new explanation of the extremely tiny vacuum energy density ρV suggested by recent observations. We illustrate the mechanism with some 5D examples in which the true vacuum energy is assumed to vanish, and ρV is associated with a fa...
متن کاملGravitational Perfect Fluid Collapse With Cosmological Constant
In this paper, the effect of a positive cosmological constant on spherically symmetric collapse with perfect fluid has been investigated. The matching conditions between static exterior and non-static interior spacetimes are given in the presence of a cosmological constant. We also study the apparent horizons and their physical significance. It is concluded that the cosmological constant slows ...
