Confinement from distance in metric space and its relation to cosmological constant
Journal of High Energy PhysicsWe argue that, in a theory of quantum gravity, the gauge coupling and the confinement scale of a gauge theory are related to distance in the space of metric configurations, and in turn to the cosmological constant. To support the argument, we compute the
