Cosmological Constant and Polymer Physics
Paulo Roberto Silva
TL;DR
This paper draws an analogy between the cosmological constant problem and polymer physics, using polymer models to estimate the universe's radius of gyration and linking it to the cosmological constant.
Contribution
It introduces a novel analogy between cosmology and polymer physics, applying Flory free energy concepts to estimate the universe's size and its relation to the cosmological constant.
Findings
Estimated the universe's radius of gyration using polymer physics models.
Proposed a link between the universe's size and the cosmological constant.
Modified Flory free energy to better fit cosmological data.
Abstract
It is traced out a parallel between the cosmological constant problem and the polymer physics. The time evolution of the universe world line is compared with the growing of a polymer chain. An equivalent Flory free energy and a modification of it are used as a means to evaluate two versions for the radius of gyration of the universe. It is proposed a link between this radius of gyration and the cosmological constant parameter.
