On the Vacuum Energy in Expanding Space-Times
نویسنده
چکیده
If there is a shortest length in nature, for example at the Planck scale of 10m, then the cosmic expansion should continually create new comoving modes. A priori, each of the new modes comes with its own vacuum energy, which could contribute to the cosmological constant. I discuss possible mathematical models for a shortest length and an explicit model for a corresponding mode-generating mechanism.

An Alternative Approach to Estimate the Vacuum Energy Density of Free Space
According to the current understanding, the recently observed accelerated expansion of the universe is caused by the dark or the vacuum energy. Attempts to calculate the magnitude of this energy using the standard model of particle physics led to values which are 59 – 120 orders of magnitude larger than the experimentally estimated one. Even though the expanding space has positive internal ener...

Gravitational waves are the last unconfirmed prediction of the general relativity. These waves are tiny fluctuations in world frame that dessipate energy throghout space. The gravitatinal waves spectra of fluctuations can be originated from the non-linear effects during different cosmic evolution periods, especially from initially non-linear and excited vacuum state in the very early universe. ...

متن کاملThe exponential law : Monopole detectors , Bogoliubov transformations , and the thermal nature of the Euclidean vacuum in RP 3 de Sitter spacetime
We consider scalar field theory on the RP de Sitter spacetime (RPdS), which is locally isometric to de Sitter space (dS) but has spatial topology RP. We compare the Euclidean vacua on RPdS and dS in terms of three quantities that are relevant for an inertial observer: (i) the stress-energy tensor; (ii) the response of an inertial monopole particle detector; (iii) the expansion of the Euclidean ...
