Spatial Geometry of the Large-Scale Universe: The Role of Quantum Gravity, Dark Energy and other Unknowns
Marc Holman
It has been known for some time that the usual inference drawn from the observed near-flatness of the large-scale Universe - namely the existence of a cosmological "flatness proble…
How Problematic is the Near-Euclidean Spatial Geometry of the Large-Scale Universe?
Marc Holman
Modern observations based on general relativity indicate that the spatial geometry of the expanding, large-scale Universe is very nearly Euclidean. This basic empirical fact is at…
Electroweak Symmetry Breaking, Intermediate Regulators and Physics Beyond the Standard Model
M. Holman
According to the long-standing received wisdom, a "small" value of the Higgs mass - as for instance implied by general unitarity constraints - is highly "unnatural" and essentially…
Foundations of Quantum Gravity : The Role of Principles Grounded in Empirical Reality
M. Holman
When attempting to assess the strengths and weaknesses of various principles in their potential role of guiding the formulation of a theory of quantum gravity, it is crucial to dis…
Generalized Noether Theorems for Field Theories Formulated in Minkowski Spacetime
M. Holman
New symmetry theorems are obtained for field theories formulated in Minkowski spacetime, based on the recognition that such theories should be diffeomorphism invariant. These theor…
Physical Degrees of Freedom in Higgs Models
M. Holman
Despite the clear-cut prediction and subsequent experimental detection of the weak interaction bosons, the Higgs sector of the standard model of elementary particle physics has lon…
On Arguments for Linear Quantum Dynamics
M. Holman
Two recent arguments for linear dynamics in quantum theory are critically re-examined. Neither argument is found to be satisfactory as it stands, although an improved version of on…
