Unified Dark Matter models with fast transition [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We investigate the general properties of Unified Dark Matter (UDM) fluid models where the pressure and the energy density are linked by a barotropic equation of state (EoS) p = p(ρ) and the perturbations are adiabatic.

THE COSMOLOGICAL CONSTANT [PDF]

open access: yesString Phenomenology, 2003
Various contributions to the cosmological constant are discussed and confronted with its recent measurement. We briefly review different scenarious -- and their difficulties -- for a solution of the cosmological constant problem.

Dilatations and the cosmological constant [PDF]

open access: yesNuclear Physics B, 1989
Abstract The role of dilatation symmetry in explaining the smallness of the cosmological constant is investigated. Dilatation-invariant theories necessarily lead to a zero cosmological constant, but only if the vacuum is invariant. This is physically unacceptable, and dilatation invariance must be broken (at least) spontaneously, in which case we do ...

Is There a Cosmological Constant? [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 1996
We present limits on the cosmological constant from the statistics of gravitational lenses using newly completed quasar surveys, new lens data, and a range of lens models. The formal limit is $λ_0 < 0.66$ at 95\% confidence in flat cosmologies, including the statistical uncertainties in the number of lenses, galaxies, quasars, and the parameters ...

Bootstrapped Newtonian Cosmology and the Cosmological Constant Problem [PDF]

open access: yesSymmetry, 2021
Bootstrapped Newtonian gravity was developed with the purpose of estimating the impact of quantum physics in the nonlinear regime of the gravitational interaction, akin to corpuscular models of black holes and inflation. In this work, we set the ground for extending the bootstrapped Newtonian picture to cosmological spaces.

Is the Zero-Point Energy Real? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
I consider the arguments to show that the vacuum energy density should receive a large contribution from the zero-point energy. This is the cosmological constant problem, as it was originally framed. I suggest that the matter is interpretation-dependent,

On Einstein’s early interpretation of the cosmological constant [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
When Einstein modified his gravitational field equations by introducing the cosmological constant, he did so for cosmological reasons. But he also tried to see whether the field equations could be interpreted as being constitutive for the ...

The Solution of the Cosmological Constant Problem: The Cosmological Constant Exponential Decrease in the Super-Early Universe

open access: yesUniverse, 2020
The stage of a super-early (primordial) scale-invariant Universe is considered on the basis of the Poincaré–Weyl gauge theory of gravity in a Cartan–Weyl space-time. An approximate solution has been found that demonstrates an inflationary behavior of the
