چکیده
The general thermodynamic analysis of the quantum vacuum, which is based on our knowledge of the vacua in condensed-matter systems, is consistent with the Einstein earlier view on the cosmological constant. In the equilibrium Universes the value of the cosmological constant is regulated by matter. In the empty Universe, the vacuum energy is exactly zero, λ = 0. The huge contribution of the zero point motion of the quantum fields to the vacuum energy is exactly cancelled by the higher-energy degrees of freedom of the quantum vacuum. In the equilibrium Universes homogeneously filled by matter, the vacuum is disturbed, and the energy density of the vacuum becomes proportional to that of matter, λ = ρvac ∼ ρmatter. This consideration applies to any vacuum in equilibrium irrespective of whether the vacuum is false or true, and is valid both in Einstein’s general theory of relativity and within the special theory of relativity, i.e. in a world without gravity.

D ec 2 00 7 UNIVERSE DRIVEN BY THE VACUUM OF SCALAR FIELD : VFD MODEL
It is shown that in the Vacuum Fluctuations Domination model (VFD), where vacuum fluctuations of scalar fields dominates under matter and radiation throughout the all history of the Universe expansion (gr-qc/0604020, gr-qc/0610148), acceleration parameter evolves monotonically from the zero to the present day negative value. That is according to this model the Universe has no decelerating past ...

The current observations seem to suggest that the universe has a positive cosmological constant of the order of H 2 0 while the most natural value for the cosmological constant will be L −2 P where L P = (G¯ h/c 3) 1/2 is the Planck length. This reduction of the cosmological constant from L −2 P to L −2 P (L P H 0) 2 may be interpreted as due to the ability of quantum micro structure of spaceti...

The common assertion that the Ricci flows of Einstein spaces with cosmological constant can be modelled by certain classes of nonholonomic frame, metric and linear connection deformations resulting in nonhomogeneous Einstein spaces is examined in the light of the role played by topological three dimensional (3D) Taub–NUT–AdS/dS spacetimes.

We show that the bubbles S ×S2can be created from vacuum fluctuation in certain De Sitter universe, so the space-time foam-like structure might really be constructed from bubbles of S × S in the very early inflating phase of our universe. But whether such foam-like structure persisted during the later evolution of the universe is a problem unsolved now. PACS: 04.20.Gz, 04.60.Ds Typeset using RE...
