Abstract

We explore the impact of finite-temperature quantum gravity effects on cosmological parameters, particularly the cosmological constant Λ\Lambda, by incorporating temperature-dependent quantum corrections into the Hubble parameter. For that purpose, we modify the Cosmic Linear Anisotropy Solving System. We introduce new density parameters, ΩΛ2\Omega_{\Lambda_2} and ΩΛ3\Omega_{\Lambda_3}, arising from finite-temperature quantum gravity contributions, and analyze their influence on the cosmic microwave background power spectrum using advanced machine learning techniques, including artificial neural networks and stochastic optimization. Our results reveal that ΩΛ2\Omega_{\Lambda_2} assumes a negative value, consistent with dimensional regularization in renormalization and that the presence of ΩΛ2\Omega_{\Lambda_2} as well as ΩΛ3\Omega_{\Lambda_3} enhances model accuracy. Numerical analyses demonstrate that the inclusion of these parameters improves the fit to 2018 Planck data. Although further work is required, our results suggest that finite-temperature quantum gravity effects may play a non-negligible role in cosmological evolution. Although the Hubble tension persists, our findings highlight the potential of quantum gravitational corrections in refining cosmological models and motivate further investigation into higher-order thermal effects and polarization data constraints.
