Higgs mode of modified cosmology​

Metin Arik, Tarik Tok
We consider a model where the Standard Model is added to the Einstein Lagrangian together with a Jordan-Brans-Dicke(JBD) coupling.
The time-dependent Higgs field has an important role in interpreting the effective gravitational constant, Geff. This may lead to two Big Bangs, the first Big Bang characterizes the size of the universe being zero. At this Big Bang, the value of the effective gravitational constant is zero and starts decreasing in time through negative values. During this era, the JBD term is important. In the second Big Bang, the effective gravitational constant passes through infinity to positive values. The negative gravitational constant is interpreted as repulsive gravity. The Lagrangian density provides effective potentials leading to spontaneous symmetry breaking which gives cosmological expectation value of the Higgs field and the Higgs mass which depends on curvature and the Brans Dicke parameter.
 
The only statement that gains majority approval (by 68\% of participants) was that the Big Bang meant ``the universe evolved from a hot dense state'', not ``an absolute beginning time''. These results provide reasons for caution in describing ideas as consensus in the scientific community when a more nuanced view may be justified.

Does this statement prove the BBT?


Copenhagen Survey on Black Holes and Fundamental Physics​

Alice Y. Chen, Phil Halper, Niayesh Afshordi
The purpose of this survey is to take a snapshot of the attitudes of physicists working on some of the most pressing questions in modern physics, which may be useful to sociologists and historians of science. For this study, a total of 85 completed surveys were returned out of 151 registered participants of the ``Black holes Inside and out'' conference, held in Copenhagen in 2024. The survey asked questions about some of the most contentious issues in fundamental physics, including the nature of black holes and dark energy. A number of surprising results were found. For example, some of the leading frameworks, such as the cosmological constant, cosmic inflation, or string theory - while most popular - gain less than the majority of votes from the participants. The only statement that gains majority approval (by 68\% of participants) was that the Big Bang meant ``the universe evolved from a hot dense state'', not ``an absolute beginning time''. These results provide reasons for caution in describing ideas as consensus in the scientific community when a more nuanced view may be justified.
 
"These results are compared to recent results on k=−1 FLRW quantum spacetimes with a Big Bounce."

What does it mean?

Spatially flat FLRW spacetimes with a Big Bang from matrix geometry​

Christian Gaß, Harold Steinacker
We present an expanding, spatially flat (k=0) FLRW quantum spacetime with a Big Bang, considered as a background in Yang-Mills matrix models. The FLRW geometry emerges in the semi-classical limit as a projection from the fuzzy hyperboloid. We analyze the propagation of scalar fields, and demonstrate that their Feynman propagator resembles the Minkowski space Feynman propagator in the semi-classical regime. Moreover, the higher spin modes predicted by the matrix model are described explicitly. These results are compared to recent results on k=−1 FLRW quantum spacetimes with a Big Bounce.
 
We show that in-falling particles undergoing such a phase transition become massless, uncharged and have zero angular momentum inside the bubble manifold. We also show that no information is lost or destroyed in this process.
Are we getting closer to understanding?

A conservative solution to the Singularity Problem in Classical GR​

Nikhil Bachhawat
Singularities, as formulated in classical General Relativity (GR), have the undesirable property that all classical laws of physics break down at this point. This makes it difficult to probe before the Big Bang or resolve black hole information loss problems. In this paper, we propose a solution to the singularity problem using a Symmetry-Restoring Phase Transition (SRPT) at the black hole event horizon. We show that in such a scenario, the singularity is instead replaced by a higher-symmetry bubble manifold with a vanishing Weyl curvature tensor. We show that in-falling particles undergoing such a phase transition become massless, uncharged and have zero angular momentum inside the bubble manifold. We also show that no information is lost or destroyed in this process.
 
Interesting reading, you need to read to the end to form some form of conclusion.

Resolving the baryon assymmetry with RATS​

J. Josiek, M. Bernini-Peron, G. González-Torà, R. R. Lefever, E. C. Schösser
Current leading theories of physics such as the Big Bang, the standard model of particle physics, and general relativity suggest that the universe should contain an equal amount of matter and antimatter. Yet observations have found a disproportionately large amount of matter, a phenomenon known as the baryon assymmetry problem. Since century-old established theories are traditionally impossible to refute, the only possible explanation is that the remaining antimatter is hidden in plain sight and remains to be observed. We propose the existence of anti-stars to solve the baryon assymetry in our new Reasonable Antimatter Theory of Stars (RATS). In this context, the RATS will create a framework to resolve the traditional tension between observers and theorists, and thus contribute to the peaceful and collaborative spirit of astronomy. Our method is the firing of neurons in our brains, typically known as a thought experiment. We still have no idea why or how this works, but it must be good because most of science was created this way. Our results are the result of our methods, which result in some text and the resulting conclusions. In order to encourage the reader to reach the end of this short paper, we do not want to spoil the conclusions here. Instead, the conclusions will conclude the paper.
 
This is a change of thinking.

Acceleration from a Phase of Entropic Balance​

Soumya Chakrabarti
We discuss the notion of generating a cosmic inflation without any big bang singularity. It has been proved recently by Good and Linder (arXiv : 2503.02380v1) that such an expansion of the universe can be driven by quantum fluctuations embedded in vacuum. The rate of expansion is guided by a cosmological sum rule defined through the Schwarzian derivative. We explore the thermodynamic roots of Schwarzian and connect it with the surface gravity associated with an apparent horizon. In General Relativity the cosmological sum rule can be enforced only if the early universe is a Milne vacuum. We show that this restriction can be removed by considering an entropic source term in the Einstein-Hilbert action.

During the big bang, this scalar may reach a CP-violating minimum, where its mass can be comparable to the inflationary Hubble scale

Baryogenesis from cosmological CP breaking​

Mateusz Duch, Alessandro Strumia, Arsenii Titov
We show that baryogenesis can arise from the cosmological evolution of a scalar field that governs CP-violating parameters, such as the Yukawa couplings and the theta terms of the Standard Model. During the big bang, this scalar may reach a CP-violating minimum, where its mass can be comparable to the inflationary Hubble scale. Such dynamics can emerge in theories featuring either a spontaneously broken local U(1) symmetry or modular invariance. The latter arises naturally as the effective field theory capturing the geometric origin of CP violation in toroidal string compactifications. Modular baryogenesis is compatible with the modular approach to resolving the strong CP problem.

Singularity resolution and inflation from an infinite tower of regularized curvature corrections​

Pedro G. S. Fernandes
We explore four-dimensional scalar-tensor theories obtained from well-defined dimensional regularizations of Lovelock invariants. When an infinite tower of corrections is considered, these theories allow for cosmological models in which the Big Bang singularity is replaced by an inflationary phase in the early-universe, and they also admit a specific class of regular black hole solutions.
