Apparent versus true value of the cosmological constant

open access: yes, 2012
Supernovae observations strongly support the presence of a cosmological constant, but its value, which we will call apparent, is normally determined assuming that the universe can be accurately described by a homogeneous model.

Photon‐Sphere Modes in Curved Optical Microcavities: A Black‐Hole Analogue Laser

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
An optical analogue of a Schwarzschild black hole is realized using curved microcavities that preserve light‐like geodesics. A new family of laser modes confined around the photon sphere is identified alongside conventional whispering‐gallery modes. Analytical theory, numerical simulations, and experiments reveal curvature‐induced confinement, enabling

Kac-Moody algebras and the cosmological constant

open access: yesPhysics Letters B, 2020
We show that the theory of gravity constructed from the non-linear realisation of the semi-direct product of the Kac-Moody algebra A1+++ with its vector representation does not allow a cosmological constant.

Holography and Variable Cosmological Constant

open access: yes, 2004
An effective local quantum field theory with UV and IR cutoffs correlated in accordance with holographic entropy bounds is capable of rendering the cosmological constant (CC) stable against quantum corrections.

‘Turkeys Cannot Vote for Christmas’: Why Epistemic Disobedience in an Anti‐Black World Matters

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Never in the history of global coloniality has the idea of epistemic disobedience been as important as in the 21st century. This is not only because the struggle for decolonisation has shifted from physical confrontation between the coloniser and the colonised into a battle of ideas but also because the former has deployed the idea of ...

Cosmological constant as an integration constant

open access: yesEuropean Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields
The discrepancy between the observed value of the cosmological constant (CC) and its expected value from quantum field theoretical considerations motivates the search for a theory in which the CC is decoupled from the vacuum energy.

Fixing cosmological constant on the event horizon

open access: yesEuropean Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2022
Standard cosmological equations are written for the Hubble volume, while the real boundary of space-time is the event horizon. Within the unimodular and thermodynamic approaches to gravity, the dark energy term in cosmological equations appears as an ...

Unimodular Approaches to the Cosmological Constant Problem

open access: yesUniverse, 2023
We review selected aspects of unimodular gravity and we discuss its viability as a solution of the old cosmological constant problem. In unimodular gravity, the cosmological constant is promoted to a global degree of freedom.

Cosmological Constant of the $(p+1)$-Dimensional World, Embedded in the $d$-Dimensional Bulk Space [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
In this manuscript we study the cosmological constant of a $(p+1)$-dimensional world, which lives in the higher dimensional bulk space. We assume the extra dimensions are compact on tori.
