宇宙学常数问题的一种新解法

A New Solution of The Cosmological Constant Problems

John D. Barrow, Douglas J. Shaw

摘要:

我们推广了通常的引力作用量原理,把裸宇宙学常数(CC)从一个参数推广到一个可以取许多可能值的场。变分导致一个新的积分约束方程,它决定了主导宇宙波函数的有效CC的经典值。在现实宇宙学模型中,有效CC的期望值是由观测到的可测量量计算得到的O(t_U),其中t_U是宇宙的当前年龄,以普朗克单位表示。我们的模型的任何应用程序产生一个可证伪的预测$Λ$在其他可测量的数量。这导致观察到的空间曲率参数Omega_k0=-0.0055的特定可证伪预测。我们的可测试的提议不需要微调或额外的暗能量场,但确实提出了时间和宇宙演化的新观点。

英文摘要:

We extend the usual gravitational action principle by promoting the bare cosmological constant (CC) from a parameter to a field which can take many possible values. Variation leads to a new integral constraint equation which determines the classical value of the effective CC that dominates the wave function of the universe. In a realistic cosmological model, the expected value of the effective CC, is calculated from measurable quantities to be O(t_U), as observed, where t_U is the present age of the universe in Planck units,. Any application of our model produces a falsifiable prediction for $Λ$ in terms of other measurable quantities. This leads to a specific falsifiable prediction for the observed spatial curvature parameter of Omega_k0=-0.0055. Our testable proposal requires no fine tunings or extra dark-energy fields but does suggest a new view of time and cosmological evolution.
