The Impact

Bootstrapped Newtonian gravity was developed with the purpose of estimating the impact of quantum physics in the nonlinear regime of the gravitational interaction, akin to corpuscular models of black holes and inflation. In this work, we set the ground for extending the bootstrapped Newtonian picture to cosmological spaces. We further discuss how such models of quantum cosmology can lead to a natural solution to the cosmological constant problem.

The Relationship

We describe a link between the cosmological constant problem and the problem of time in quantum gravity. This arises from examining the relationship between the cosmological constant and vacuum energy in light of nonperturbative formulations of quantum gravity.

Scalar Sector

We speculate on a version of the "standard" model of the electroweak and strong interactions coupled to gravity and equipped with a spontaneously broken, anomalous, conformal gauge symmetry. The scalar sector is virtually absent in the minimal model but in the general case it shows up in the form of a nonlinear harmonic map Lagrangian. A Euclidean approach to the cosmological constant problem is also addressed in this framework.
