The Ergodic Vacuum

TL;DR

This paper proposes a novel connection between de Sitter thermodynamics and fundamental vacua, suggesting electroweak theory emerges from ergodic mixing of charge density and introducing lab-accessible topological defects.

Contribution

It introduces a new framework linking $f( ext{R})$ gravity thermodynamics to the emergence of electroweak theory and topological defects.

Findings

Electroweak theory arises from ergodic mixing in de Sitter space.

Topological defects can be accessible within laboratory settings.

A new thermodynamic basis for unifying different vacua is proposed.

Abstract

The extension of local de Sitter thermodynamics into $f(\mathcal{R})$ gravity provides a new basis to unify the dielectric and electroweak vacua. We suggest the electroweak theory emerges from the ergodic mixing of charge density under local de Sitter thermodynamics and introduce the concept of lab-accessible topological defects.
