自调谐真空变量与宇宙学常数

Self-tuning vacuum variable and cosmological constant

F. R. Klinkhamer, G. E. Volovik

摘要:

引入了一个时空无关变量来表征洛伦兹不变的自维持量子真空。对于一个完美的(洛伦兹不变的)量子真空,这个变量的自调谐使进入低能引力场方程的有效能量密度无效。观察到的小但非零的宇宙学常数值可以解释为对应于不完美量子真空的有效能量密度(被,例如,热物质的存在)。

英文摘要:

A spacetime-independent variable is introduced which characterizes a Lorentz-invariant self-sustained quantum vacuum. For a perfect (Lorentz-invariant) quantum vacuum, the self-tuning of this variable nullifies the effective energy density which enters the low-energy gravitational field equations. The observed small but nonzero value of the cosmological constant may then be explained as corresponding to the effective energy density of an imperfect quantum vacuum (perturbed by, e.g., the presence of thermal matter).
