A Possible Quantum Effect of Gravitation
Jarmo Mäkelä
Beginning from the standard Arnowitt-Deser-Misner (ADM) formulation of general relativity we construct a tentative model of quantum gravity from the point of view of an observer wi…
Black Hole in a Heat Bath
Jarmo Makela
It was recently pointed out by Barrau, Martineau and Renevey that the mass of the Schwarzschild black hole immersed in a heat bath tends to infity in a finite time. We show that th…
A Model of Inflation
Jarmo Mäkelä
We consider a novel model of cosmic inflation. In our model one does not need any specific matter field to drive inflation, but inflation stems from the microscopic, Planck scale s…
Vacuum Energy, Black Holes and the Cosmological Constant
Jarmo Mäkelä
We consider a possibility that the formally infinite vacuum energy of the quantized matter fields could be stored into Planck-size quantum black holes acting as the fundamental con…
Cosmological Constant as a Free Thermodynamical Variable
Jarmo Mäkelä
We consider a possibility that the cosmological constant may not be a constant, but a free thermodynamical variable. To this end we construct a microscopic model of a spacelike two…
Partition Function of the Schwarzschild Black Hole
Jarmo Mäkelä
We consider a microscopic model of a stretched horizon of the Schwarzschild black hole. In our model the stretched horizon consists of a finite number of discrete constituents. Ass…
