Observables in effective gravity
We address the construction and interpretation of diffeomorphism-invariant observables in a low-energy effective theory of quantum gravity. The observables we consider are constructed as integrals over the space of coordinates, in analogy to the construction of gauge-invariant observables in Yang-Mills theory via traces. As such, they are explicitly non-local. Nevertheless we describe how, in s...
متن کاملEffective Nonlocal Euclidean Gravity
A nonlocal form of the effective gravitational action could cure the unboundedness of euclidean gravity with Einstein action. On sub-horizon length scales the modified gravitational field equations seem compatible with all present tests of general relativity and post-Newtonian gravity. They induce a difference in the effective Newton’s constant between regions of space with vanishing or nonvani...
متن کامل3 Phenomenology of effective gravity
The cosmological constant is not an absolute constant. The gravitating part of the vacuum energy is adjusted to the energy density of matter and to other types of the perturbations of the vacuum. We discuss how the vacuum energy responds (i) to the curvature of space in the Einstein closed Universe; (ii) to the expansion rate in the de Sitter Universe; and (iii) to the rotation in the Gödel Uni...
متن کاملCoexisting vacua and effective gravity
Our Universe is perhaps a domain separated by physical phase boundaries from other domain-Universes with different vacuum energy density (cosmological constant) and matter content. The coexistence of different quantum vacua can then be regulated by the exchange of global fermionic charges between the vacua, such as baryonic and leptonic charge, or by fermion zero modes on the phase boundary. An...
متن کاملGravity and Induced Effective Theories
We develop the gauge approach based on the Lorentz group to the gravity with torsion. With a Lagrangian quadratic in curvature we show that the Einstein-Hilbert action can be induced from a simple gauge model due to quantum corrections of torsion via formation of a gravito-magnetic condensate. An effective theory of cosmic knots at Planckian scale is proposed. 1. Utiyama-Kibble-Sciama gauge app...
