Sequestering the standard model vacuum energy.
We propose a very simple reformulation of general relativity, which completely sequesters from gravity all of the vacuum energy from a matter sector, including all loop corrections and renders all contributions from phase transitions automatically small. The idea is to make the dimensional parameters in the matter sector functionals of the 4-volume element of the Universe. For them to be nonzer...
متن کاملBarbero–Immirzi field in canonical formalism of pure gravity
The Barbero–Immirzi (BI) parameter is promoted to a field and a canonical analysis is performed when it is coupled with a Nieh–Yan topological invariant. It is shown that, in the effective theory, the BI field is a canonical pseudoscalar minimally coupled with gravity. This framework is argued to be more natural than the one of the usual Holst action. Potential consequences in relation with inf...
متن کاملMinisuperspace Model for Revised Canonical Quantum Gravity
We present a reformulation of the canonical quantization of gravity, as referred to the minisuperspace; the new approach is based on fixing a Gaussian (or synchronous) reference frame and then quantizing the system via the reconstruction of a suitable constraint; then the quantum dynamics is re-stated in a generic coordinates system and it becomes dependent on the lapse function. The analysis f...
متن کاملWhy Does Gravity Ignore the Vacuum Energy?
The equations of motion for matter fields are invariant under the shift of the matter lagrangian by a constant. Such a shift changes the energy momentum tensor of matter by T a b → T a b + ρδ a b . In the conventional approach, gravity breaks this symmetry and the gravitational field equations are not invariant under such a shift of the energy momentum tensor. I argue that until this symmetry i...
متن کاملVacuum energy: quantum hydrodynamics vs quantum gravity
We compare quantum hydrodynamics and quantum gravity. They share many common features, both have quadratic divergences, and both lead to the problem of the vacuum energy, which in the quantum gravity transforms to the cosmological constant problem. We show that in quantum liquids the vacuum energy density is not determined by the quantum zero-point energy of the phonon modes. The vacuum energy ...
