QCD Cosmology from the Lattice Equation of State
Michael McGuigan, Wolfgang Söldner
We numerically determine the time dependence of the scale factor from the lattice QCD equation of state, which can be used to define a QCD driven cosmology. We compare a lattice ap…
Universe Decay, Inflation and the Large Eigenvalue of the Cosmological Constant Seesaw
Michael McGuigan
We discuss implications of the large eigenvalue of the cosmological constant seesaw mechanism extending hep-th/0602112 and hep-th/0604108. While the previous papers focused on the…
Noncritical M-theory: Three Dimensions
Michael McGuigan
At the macrosopic level we study candidate 3D effective field theories associated to M theory in three dimensions. These represent analogs of 11D supergravity for eleven dimensiona…
Three Dimensional Gravity and M-Theory
Michael McGuigan
It is well known that string theory can be formulated as two dimensional gravity coupled to matter. In the 2d gravity formulation the central charge of the matter together with a h…
Third Quantization and Black Holes
Michael McGuigan
Recent results on the quantum mechanics of black holes indicate that the spacetime singularity can be avoided if the space of fields is extended in its domain as well as the vanish…
