Global structure of euclidean quantum gravity
Daniel Friedan
Euclidean quantum gravity (EQG) separates into a local theory and a global theory. The local theory operates in every compact -manifold with boundary to produce a state on the b…
The CGF dark matter fluid
Daniel Friedan
The cosmological gauge field (CGF) is a classical solution of SU(2)-weak gauge theory oscillating rapidly in time. It is the dark matter driving the CGF cosmology. A general, local…
First principles cosmology of the Standard Model epoch
Daniel Friedan
This is a short summary of a project to construct a first principles cosmology of the Standard Model epoch, the period starting shortly before the electro-weak transition. The cosm…
A theory of the dark matter
Daniel Friedan
In an earlier paper I proposed a highly symmetric semi-classical initial condition to describe the universe in the period leading up to the electroweak transition and completely de…
Dark matter stars
Daniel Friedan
The dark matter in the CGF cosmology is a cosmological SU(2)-weak gauge field (the CGF). The TOV stellar structure equations are solved numerically for stars composed of this dark…
Thermodynamic stability of a cosmological SU(2)-weak gauge field
Daniel Friedan
The CGF cosmology is a complete theory of cosmology from the electroweak transition onward. It is semi-classical. At leading order the only matter is dark matter -- a cosmological…
