Exotic Rotational Correlations in Quantum Geometry
arXiv:1509.07997 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.95.104050
Abstract
It is argued that the classical local inertial frame used to define rotational states of quantum systems is only approximate, and that geometry itself must also be rotationally quantized at the Planck scale. A Lorentz invariant statistical model of correlations in quantum geometry on larger scales predicts spacelike correlations that describe rotational fluctuations in the inertial frame. Fluctuations are estimated to significantly affect the gravity of quantum field states on a macroscopic scale, characterized by the Chandrasekhar radius. It is suggested that the cosmological constant might be a signature of exotic rotational correlations entangled with the strong interaction vacuum, and have a value determined entirely by Planck scale quantum gravity and Standard Model fields.
