Vacuum in quantum liquids and in general relativity
Quantum liquids, in which an effective Lorentzian metric and thus some kind of gravity gradually arise in the low-energy corner, are the objects where the problems related to the quantum vacuum can be investigated in detail. In particular, they provide the possible solution of the cosmological constant problem: why the vacuum energy is by 120 orders of magnitude smaller than the estimation from...
متن کاملVacuum Energy and Universe in Special Relativity
The problem of cosmological constant and vacuum energy is usually thought of as the subject of general relativity. However, the vacuum energy is important for the Universe even in the absence of gravity , i.e. in the case when the Newton constant G is exactly zero, G = 0. We discuss the response of the vacuum energy to the perturbations of the quantum vacuum in special relativity, and find that...
متن کاملConstants of motion for vacuum general relativity
The 3+1 Hamiltonian Einstein equations, reduced by imposing two commuting spacelike Killing vector fields, may be written as the equations of the SL(2, R) principal chiral model with certain ‘source’ terms. Using this formulation, we give a procedure for generating an infinite number of non-local constants of motion for this sector of the Einstein equations. The constants of motion arise as exp...
متن کاملQuantum and General Relativity Theories
Two of Lanczos’ seminal contributions in physics that are not generally known about in the physics community are discussed and commented in relation to more recent investigations: First, his integral formulation of the Schrödinger equation that he published just before Schrödinger himself published his differential equation formulation of quantum mechanics, and, second, his solution to the prob...
متن کاملQuantum Gravity without General Relativity
The quantum field theory of gravitation is constructed in terms of Lagrangian density of Dirac fields which couple to the electromagnetic field Aμ as well as the gravitational field G. The gravity appears in the mass term as m(1+gG)ψ̄ψ with the coupling constant of g. In addition to the gravitational force between fermions, the electromagnetic field Aμ interacts with the gravity as the fourth or...
