Cosmology from the two-dimensional renormalization group acting as the Ricci flow

preprint2020arXivOpen access

Abstract

The two-dimensional renormalization group acting as the Ricci flow Λ∂∂Λgμν=RμνΛ\frac{\partial}{\partialΛ} g_{μν} = R_{μν} produces a specific 1+3 dimensional space-time metric which describes an expanding universe that starts with a big bang a∼t1/3a \sim t^{\scriptscriptstyle 1/\sqrt3} then decelerates until z=0.2z=0.2 then accelerates until ending at tmax⁡=1.6 tHt_{\max}=1.6\,t_{H} with a big blowup a∼(tmax⁡−t)−1/3a \sim (t_{\max}-t)^{\scriptscriptstyle -1/\sqrt3}. The only free parameters are the overall time scale and the value of the present time t0t_{0}. These are fixed by the Hubble constant H0=tH−1H_{0}=t_{H}^{-1} and the present deceleration parameter q(t0)q(t_{0}). 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.
