How universe evolves with cosmological and gravitational constants
Abstract
With a basic varying space-time cutoff , we study a regularized and quantized Einstein-Cartan gravitational field theory and its domains of ultraviolet-unstable fixed point and ultraviolet-stable fixed point of the gravitational gauge coupling . Because the fundamental operators of quantum gravitational field theory are dimension-2 area operators, the cosmological constant is inversely proportional to the squared correlation length . The correlation length characterizes an infrared size of a causally correlate patch of the universe. The cosmological constant and the gravitational constant are related by a generalized Bianchi identity. As the basic space-time cutoff decreases and approaches to the Planck length , the universe undergoes inflation in the domain of the ultraviolet-unstable fixed point , then evolves to the low-redshift universe in the domain of ultraviolet-stable fixed point . We give the quantitative description of the low-redshift universe in the scaling-invariant domain of the ultraviolet-stable fixed point , and its deviation from the CDM can be examined by low-redshift cosmological observations, such as supernova Type Ia.
