Defining an Arrow of Time at the Start of Inflation Using the Penrose Cyclic Conformal Cosmology?

Authors: Andrew W. Beckwith
Comments: 16 Pages.

First, we state an argument as to form a cosmological constant near the beginning of inflation. Afterwards ,this investigation sets forth initial conditions for a start of the arrow of time in cosmology based upon the idea that of having initial degrees of freedom set as g* ~ 1000 initially. Finally, we use all of the above to examine the introduction of causal relationships, for the universe.

Renormalization and Asymptotic Safety of Gravity in a Multi-Fold Universe: More Tracking of the Standard Model at the Cost of Supersymmetries, GUTs and Superstrings

In a multi-fold universe, gravity emerges from Entanglement through the multi-fold mechanisms. As a result, gravity-like effects appear in between entangled particles that they be real or virtual. Long range, massless gravity results from entanglement of massless virtual particles. Entanglement of massive virtual particles leads to massive gravity contributions at very smalls scales. Multi-folds mechanisms also result into a spacetime that is discrete, with a random walk fractal structure and non-commutative geometry that is Lorentz invariant and where spacetime nodes and particles can be modeled with microscopic black holes. All these recover General Relativity (GR) at large scales and semi-classical model remain valid till smaller scale than usually expected. Gravity can therefore be added to the Standard Model (SM). This can contribute to resolving several open issues with the Standard Model without new Physics other than gravity. These considerations hints at a even stronger relationship between gravity and the Standard Model. Conventional quantum gravity is typically known, or assumed, to be non-renormalizable; something that has so far prevented reconciliation of GR and Quantum Gravity. In this paper, we discuss what should be said about renormalization in a multi-fold universe, where discreteness (while fractal, random, non-commutative and Lorentz invariant), multi-fold dark energy (repulsive), as well as the support for in matter, and among particles, torsion, guarantee the absence of divergences, and of any gravity or cosmological singularities. We argue that quantum gravity in a multi-fold universe is asymptotically safe: an alternate renormalizability criteria, that was originally proposed by S. Weinberg in the 70s to guarantee that no unphysical singularities or misbehaviors should appear in quantum gravity. Re-using results obtained by others, we argue that asymptotic safety implies constraints on the allowed number of particle types that can be present in a 4D universe (roughly the same as in the SM), as well as estimates of the top quark and Higgs boson masses. It adds to our previous thesis, that gravity is key to the properties of SM, with the standard model with gravity not negligible at its scales (SMG), as it enables us to explain, at least partially, open issues with SM and the standard cosmology model. These constraints on the number of particle types, now in effect in a multi-fold universe, further render unphysical theories like supersymmetry, supergravity, superstrings (and as a result M-Theory) as well as many GUTs and TOEs: the additional super partners needed by these theories, and universes with more than 4 dimensional spacetime are not compatible asymptotic safety. These conclusions extend to many universe models beyond multi-fold universes; in fact, possibly, to any consistent model of the real universe where gravity is well behaved and follows Quantum Physics and General relativity at suitable scales. There are many indications that conventional quantum gravity derived from QFT would be asymptotically safe, without needing to bring in any multi-fold assumption. The reasoning in this paper adds arguments to the compelling conjecture of asymptotic safety of quantum gravity, with the same implications for all the incompatible theories, and to the need for SMG, where non negligible gravity at small scales is considered.

Using Narilkar Quantization of the Einstein-Hilbert First Integral to Further Bound the Cosmological Constant

Authors: Andrew W. Beckwith
Comments: 7 Pages. [Corrections made by viXra Admin to conform with scholarly norm]

We take the results where we reduplicate the Book “Dark Energy” by M. Li, X-D. Li, and Y. Wang, zero-point energy calculation, as folded in with the Klauder methodology, as given in a prior publication. From there we first access the Rosen solution to a mini universe energy to ascertain an energy value of the pre-inflationary near singularity,. Then access what would be needed as to inject information into our universe. We then close with an argument by Narilkar as to a quantum bound on the Einstein- Hilbert action integral, so as to obtain quantum Gravity. Narlikar omits the cosmological constant. We keep it in, four our overall conclusion about the cosmological constant and its relevance to Quantum gravity.

Planck Scale Gravity

Authors: Tomasz Kobierzycki
Comments: 7 Pages.

In this short paper I present a proof that Planck scale is self consistent with quantum physics and lead naturally to gravity if I abandon Lorentz transformation and need that speed of light stays constant.

Multi-Fold Universe Dark Matter Successful Explanation and the “Too Thin Universe” but “Too Strong Gravity Lensing by Galaxy Clusters”

Authors: Stephane H Maes
Comments: 5 Pages. All related details of the projects (and updates) can be found and followed at https://shmaesphysics.wordpress.com/shmaes-physics-site-navigation/.

In a multi-fold universe, gravity emerges from entanglement through the multi-fold mechanisms. As a result, gravity-like effects appear in between entangled particles or regions. No New Physics is introduced in terms of new particles beyond the Standard Model or modifying long range gravity: only the modeling of gravity as emerging from entanglement, in a multi-fold universe. Two recent observations are considered to have raised new concerns with conventional approach to dark Matter: the universe structures would be too thin for the dark matter conventionally predicted while gravity lensing from galaxy clusters seems too string. In this paper, we argue that our multi-fold explanation for dark matter effect is consistent with such observations.

A Solution of the Cosmological Constant, Using Multiverse Version of Penrose CCC Cosmology, and Enhanced Quantization Compared ( Under Peer Review But not Accepted by Universe)

Authors: Andrew W. Beckwith
Comments: 14 Pages. [Corrections are made by viXra Admin to comply with the rules of viXra.org]

We reduplicate the Book “Dark Energy” by M. Li, X-D. Li, and Y. Wang, zero-point energy calculation with an unexpected “length’ added to the ‘width’ of a graviton wavefunction just prior to the entrance of ‘gravitons’ to a small region of space-time prior to a nonsingular start to the universe.We compare this to a solution worked out using Klauder Enhanced quantization, for the same given problem. The solution of the first Cosmological Constant problem relies upon the geometry of the multiverse generalization of CCC cosmology which is explained in this paper. The second solution, used involves Klauder enhanced quantization. We look at energy given by our methods and compare and contrast it with the negative energy of the Rosen model for a mini sub universe and estimate GW frequencies.
