Cosmological Constant and Local Gravity
We discuss the linearization of Einstein equations in the presence of a cosmological constant, by expanding the solution for the metric around a flat Minkowski space-time. We demonstrate that one can find consistent solutions to the linearized set of equations for the metric perturbations, in the Lorentz gauge, which are not spherically symmetric, but they rather exhibit a cylindrical symmetry....
متن کاملEvolution of cosmological constant in effective gravity
In contrast to the phenomenon of nullification of the cosmological constant in the equilibrium vacuum, which is the general property of any quantum vacuum, there are many options in modifying the Einstein equation to allow the cosmological constant to evolve in a non-equilibrium vacuum. An attempt is made to extend the Einstein equation in the direction suggested by the condensed-matter analogy...
متن کاملQuantum 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 کاملFat Euclidean Gravity with Small Cosmological Constant
The cosmological constant problem is usually considered an inevitable feature of any effective theory capturing well-tested gravitational and matter physics, without regard to the details of short-distance gravitational couplings. In this paper, a subtle effective description avoiding the problem is presented in a first quantized language, consistent with experiments and the Equivalence Princip...
متن کاملRG-Flow, Gravity, and the Cosmological Constant
We study the low energy effective action S of gravity, induced by integrating out gauge and matter fields, in a general class of RS-type string compactification scenarios with exponential warp factors. Our method combines dimensional reduction with the holographic map between between 5-d supergravity and 4-d large N field theory. Using the classical supergravity approximation, we derive a flow ...
