Does the Cosmological Constant Imply the Existence of a Minimum Mass?

چکیده
We show that in the framework of the classical general relativity the presence of a positive cosmo-logical constant implies the existence of a minimal mass and of a minimal density in nature. These results rigorously follow from the generalized Buchdahl inequality in the presence of a cosmological constant.

In Wesson's canonical model, the universe is assumed to be five dimensional (5D) empty space time. This model corresponds to a solution of the Einstein field equation in five dimensions which, from a four dimensional point of view, is equivalent to a universe with a positive cosmological constant. In this model, the fifth direction is perpendicular to the four dimensional space time and is not...
متن کاملCosmological argument in proving the existence of God from Imam Khomeini's (RA) point of view
This article reviews Cosmological argument in proving the existence of God from the viewpoint of Imam Khomeini (RA). At first, various views to the existence of God are reviewed and then its etymology will be reviewed. Cosmological argument proves God through universal premises about truth and world and and the Movement Argument, Casual Argument and Necessity and Possibility Argument are dif...

We consider the astrophysical and cosmological implications of the existence of a minimum density and mass due to the presence of the cos-mological constant. If there is a minimum length in nature, then there is an absolute minimum mass corresponding to a hypothetical particle with radius of the order of the Planck length. On the other hand, quantum mechanical considerations suggest a different...
متن کاملRemoving the Cosmological Bound on the Axion Scale
The current cosmological bound on the invisible axion scale may be avoided in the class of theories in which the gauge coupling constant is determined through the expectation value of some scalar field (e.g. moduli in supergravity and string theories). This leads to the cosmological scenario different from that of the standard invisible axion, since the initial values of the fields are usually ...
متن کاملDecaying cosmological parameter in the early universe from NKK theory of gravity
Cosmological observations imply that there exists an extremely small upper limit on the vacuum energy density in the present state of our universe. This stands in sharp contradiction with theoretical predictions [1]. In fact, any mass scale in particle physics contributes to the vacuum energy density much larger than this upper bound [2]. According to modern quantum field theory, the structure ...
