A positive cosmological constant as a geometrical artifact

چکیده
In this paper, we revisit the classical mechanism to produce [Formula: see text]-dimensional spacetimes via Kaluza–Klein compactification. We made assumption that bulk geometry text] admits a Homothetic Vector Field (HVF) relaxing existence of zero i.e. holds on and homothetic bivector text]. Under these circumstances, identify origin positive cosmological constant in spacetime as factor representing geometrical artifact late time state spacetime.

Quantum gravity with a positive cosmological constant
A quantum theory of gravity is described in the case of a positive cosmological constant in 3 + 1 dimensions. Both old and new results are described, which support the case that loop quantum gravity provides a satisfactory quantum theory of gravity. These include the existence of a ground state, discoverd by Kodama, which both is an exact solution to the constraints of quantum gravity and has a...
متن کاملEffect of a positive cosmological constant on cosmic strings
Abstract We study cosmic Nielsen-Olesen strings in space-times with a positive cosmological constant. For the free cosmic string in a cylindrically symmetric space-time, we calculate the contribution of the cosmological constant to the angle deficit, and to the bending of null geodesics. For a cosmic string in a Schwarzschild-de Sitter space-time, we use Kruskal patches around the inner and out...
متن کاملCosmic strings in a space-time with positive cosmological constant
We study Abelian strings in a fixed de Sitter background. We find that the gauge and Higgs fields extend smoothly across the cosmological horizon and that the string solutions have oscillating scalar fields outside the cosmological horizon for all currently accepted values of the cosmological constant. If the gauge to Higgs boson mass ratio is small enough, the gauge field function has a power-...
متن کاملGRAVITATIONAL EQUILIBRIUM in THE PRESENCE of a POSITIVE COSMOLOGICAL CONSTANT
We reconsider the virial theorem in the presence of a positive cosmological constant Λ. Assuming steady state, we derive an inequality of the form ρ ≥ A(Λ/4πGN ) for the mean density ρ of the astrophysical object. The parameter A depends only on the shape of the object. With a minimum at Asphere = 2, its value can increase by several orders of magnitude as the shape of the object deviates from ...
