Cosmological term as a source of mass

In the spherically symmetric case the dominant energy condition together with the requirements of regularity at the center, asymptotic flatness and fineteness of the ADM mass, defines the family of asymptotically flat globally regular solutions to the Einstein minimally coupled equations which includes the class of metrics asymptotically de Sitter at approaching the regular center. The source term corresponds to an r-dependent cosmological term given by the second rank symmetric tensor invariant under boosts in the radial direction and evolving from de Sitter vacuum in the origin to Minkowski vacuum at infinity. Space-time symmetry changes smoothly from the de Sitter group at the center to the Lorentz group at infinity through the radial boosts in between. The standard formula for the ADM mass relates it to the de Sitter vacuum replacing a central singularity at the scale of symmetry restoration. For masses exceeding a certain critical value m_{crit} de Sitter-Schwarzschild geometry describes a vacuum nonsingular black hole, while beyond m_{crit} it describes a G-lump which is a vacuum selfgravitating particlelike structure without horizons. Quantum energy spectrum of G-lump is shifted down by the binding energy, and zero-point vacuum mode is fixed at the value corresponding to the Hawking temperature from the de Sitter horizon.

Decay of cosmological constant as Bose condensate evaporation

We consider the process of decay of symmetric vacuum state as evaporation of a Bose condensate of physical Higgs particles, defined over asymmetric vacuum state. Energy density of their selfinteraction is identified with cosmological constant $Λ$ in the Einstein equation. $Λ$ decay then provides dynamical realization of spontaneous symmetry breaking. The effective mechanism is found for damping of coherent oscillations of a scalar field, leading to slow evaporation regime as the effective mechanism for $Λ$ decay responsible for inflation without special fine-tuning of the microphysical parameters. This mechanism is able to incorporate reheating, generation of proper primordial fluctuations, and nonzero cosmological constant today.

Variable cosmological term - geometry and physics

We describe the dynamics of a cosmological term in the spherically symmetric case by an r-dependent second rank symmetric tensor Λ_{μν} invariant under boosts in the radial direction. The cosmological tensor Λ_{μν} represents the extension of the Einstein cosmological term Λg_{μν} which allows a cosmological constant be variable. This possibility is based on the Petrov classification scheme and Einstein field equations in the spherically symmetric case. The inflationary equation of state is satisfied by the radial pressure p_r^Λ=-ρ^Λ. The tangential pressure is calculated from the conservation equation Λ^μ_{ν;μ}=0. The solutions to the Einstein equations with cosmological term Λ_{μν} describe several types of globally regular self-gravitating vacuum configurations including vacuum nonsingular black holes. In this case the global structure of space-time contains an infinite set of black and white holes whose singularities are replaced with the value of cosmological constant of the scale of symmetry restoration, at the background of asymptotically flat or asymptotically de Sitter universes. We outline Λwhite hole geometry and estimate probability of quantum birth of baby universes inside a Λblack hole. In the course of Hawking evaporation of a Λblack hole, a second-order phase transition occurs, and globally regular configuration evolves towards a self-gravitating particlelike structure at the background of the Minkowski or de Sitter space.

The algebraic structure of a cosmological term in spherically symmetric solutions

We propose to describe the dynamics of a cosmological term in the spherically symmetric case by an r-dependent second rank symmetric tensor invariant under boosts in the radial direction. This proposal is based on the Petrov classification scheme and Einstein field equations in the spherically symmetric case. The inflationary equation of state p=-ρis satisfied by the radial pressure. The tangential pressure is calculated from the conservation equation (the contracted Bianchi identity).
