Scaling Laws for the Cosmological Constant
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the expansion of the universe at late times in the case that the cosmological constant obeys certain scaling laws motivated by renormalisation group running in quantum theories. The renormalisation scale is identified with the Hubble scale and the inverse radii of the event and particle horizon, respectively. We find de Sitter solutions, power-law expansion and super-exponential expansion in addition to future singularities of the Big Rip and Big Crunch type.

Universes with constant total energy: Do they solve important cosmological problems?
We study cosmological consequences of total energy conservation strictly valid for the whole universe. As prime consequence of ergodically behaving universes very specific scaling laws for relevant cosmic quantities with the diameter R of the universe are derived. Especially the R−2scaling of mass and vacuum energy density directly leads to a vanishing cosmic curvature parameter k = 0 and aboli...
متن کاملngravs: Distinct gravitational interactions in gadget-2
We discuss an extension of the massively parallel cosmological simulation code gadget-2, which now enables investigation of multiple and distinct gravitational force laws, provided they are dominated by a constant scaling of the Newtonian force. In addition to simplifying investigations of a universally modified force law, the ngravs extension provides a foundation for state-of-the-art collisio...
متن کاملThe scaling evolution of the cosmological constant
In quantum field theory the parameters of the vacuum action are subject to renormalization group running. In particular, the “cosmological constant” is not a constant in a quantum field theory context, still less should be zero. In this paper we continue with previous work, and derive the particle contributions to the running of the cosmological and gravitational constants in the framework of t...
متن کاملCluster scaling relations from cosmological hydrodynamic simulations in dark energy dominated universe
Context. Clusters are potentially powerful tools for cosmology provided their observed properties such as the SunyaevZel’dovich (SZ) or X-ray signals can be translated into physical quantities like mass and temperature. Scaling relations are the appropriate mean to perform this translation. It is therefore, important to understand their evolution and their modifications with respect to the phys...
متن کاملA new large-number coincidence and a scaling law for the cosmological constant
An ensemble of pure numbers of the order of 10 is produced naturally from the fundamental parameters of modern cosmology. This new large-number coincidence problem is resolved by demonstrating implicit physical connections that follow from the standard cosmological model. However, the occurrence of the new large-number coincidence combined with the known coincidence among pure numbers of the or...
