Gravity in the dynamical approach to the cosmological constant
نویسنده
چکیده
One of the most disturbing difficulties in thinking about the cosmological constant is that it is not stable under radiative corrections. The feedback mechanism proposed in ref. [1] is a dynamical way to protect a zero or small cosmological constant against radiative corrections. Hence, while this by itself does not solve the cosmological constant problem, it can help solving the problem. In the present paper we investigate stability and gravity in this approach and show that the feedback mechanism is both classically and quantum mechanically stable and has self-consistent, stable dynamics.

In this paper we consider the action of higher derivative gravity up to the second order terms in the scalars made from the Ricci scalar, Ricci and Riemann tensors. We use the Bach- Lanczos identity of the Weyl tensor in four dimensions and show that the solutions of 4-dimensional Einstein equations with cosmological constant term in vacuum, which are known as Einstein metrics, satisfy the fie...
متن کاملThe Averaging Problem in Cosmology and Macroscopic Gravity
The averaging problem in cosmology and the approach of macroscopic gravity to resolve the problem is discussed. The averaged Einstein equations of macroscopic gravity are modified on cosmological scales by the macroscopic gravitational correlation tensor terms as compared with the Einstein equations of general relativity. This correlation tensor satisfies a system of structure and field equatio...
متن کاملA Nonlocal Approach to the Cosmological Constant Problem
We construct a model in which the cosmological constant is canceled from the gravitational equations of motion. Our model relies on two key ingredients: a nonlocal constraint on the action, which forces the spacetime average of the Lagrangian density to vanish, and a dynamical way for this condition to be satisfied classically with arbitrary matter content. We implement the former condition wit...
متن کاملParticle-like solutions to topologically massive gravity
The solution of topologically massive gravity with cosmological constant is reduced, for space-times with two commuting Killing vectors, to a special-relativistic dynamical problem. This approach is applied to the construction of a class of exact sourceless, horizonless solutions asymptotic to the BTZ extreme black holes. ∗E-mail: [email protected].
