Cosmology from the two-dimensional renormalization group acting as the Ricci flow
Abstract
The two-dimensional renormalization group acting as the Ricci flow produces a specific 1+3 dimensional space-time metric which describes an expanding universe that starts with a big bang then decelerates until then accelerates until ending at with a big blowup . The only free parameters are the overall time scale and the value of the present time . These are fixed by the Hubble constant and the present deceleration parameter . This crude calculation of cosmology omits all but the gravitational field. The only energy-momentum is purely gravitational dark matter and energy. This is a preliminary exploration towards a specific, comprehensive, testable calculation of cosmology from a fundamental theory in which physics is produced by a quantum version of the two-dimensional renormalization group.
