Duality and the cosmological constant
A dynamical theory is studied in which a scalar field φ in Einstein-Minkowski space is coupled to the four-velocity Nμ of a preferred inertial observer in that space. As a consistent requirement on this coupling we study a principle of duality invariance of the dynamical mass-term of φ at some universal length in the smalldistance regime. In the large-distance regime duality breaking can be int...
متن کاملConstraining the Cosmological Constant from Large-Scale Redshift-Space Clustering
We show how the cosmological constant can be estimated from redshift surveys at different redshifts, using maximum-likelihood techniques. The apparent redshift-space clustering on large scales ( > ∼ 20 h−1Mpc ) are affected in the radial direction by infall, and curvature influences the apparent correlations in the transverse direction. The relative strengths of the two effects will strongly va...
متن کاملString Scale Cosmological Constant
The cosmological constant is an unexplained until now phenomena of nature that requires an explanation through string effects. The apparent discrepancy between theory and experiment is enourmous and has already been explained several times by the author including mechanisms. In this work the string theory theory of abolished string modes is documented and given perturbatively to all loop orders...
متن کاملVanishing Cosmological Constant via Gravitational S-Duality
We study S-duality transformations that mix the graviton with various forms of matter. In the case of matter in the form of a 3-form field, the dual of an (A)dS space time – with arbitrary curvature – is seen to be flat Minkowski space time, if the 3-form field has vanishing field strength before the duality transformation. Then we show that the Schwarzschild metric can be obtained as a suitabl...
متن کاملGeneralized Gravitational S-Duality and the Cosmological Constant Problem
We study S-duality transformations that mix the Riemann tensor with the field strength of a 3-form field. The dual of an (A)dS space time – with arbitrary curvature – is seen to be flat Minkowski space time, if the 3-form field has vanishing field strength before the duality transformation. It is discussed whether matter could couple to the dual metric, related to the Riemann tensor after a dua...
