abstract

Bekenstein has proposed the bound S < pi M_P^2 L^2 on the total entropy S in a volume L^3. This non-extensive scaling suggests that quantum field theory breaks down in large volume. To reconcile this breakdown with the success of local quantum field theory in describing observed particle phenomenology, we propose a relationship between UV and IR cutoffs such that an effective field theory should be a good description of Nature. We discuss implications for the cosmological constant problem. We find a limitation on the accuracy which can be achieved by conventional effective field theory: for example, the minimal correction to (g-2) for the electron from the constrained IR and UV cutoffs is larger than the contribution from the top quark.

Quantum Geometry from Area Fluctuations

hep-th · 2026-06-04 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Derives a thermal fluctuation formula for causal-diamond boundary area with a linear term of Verlinde-Zurek scaling interpreted as statistical evidence for discrete quanta of geometry.

Geometric noise spectrum in interferometers

hep-th · 2026-01-25 · conditional · novelty 6.0

The noise spectrum an interferometer would see from quantum spacetime jitter is computed for vacuum, thermal, squeezed, and scalar-backreaction states; all are Planck-suppressed.

Measuring neutrino mass in light of ACT DR6 and DESI DR2

astro-ph.CO · 2026-03-11 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

New ACT and DESI data yield model-dependent upper limits on sum of neutrino masses, with holographic dark energy giving the tightest bounds and a consistent preference for degenerate hierarchy.

Field theory vacuum and entropic dark energy models

gr-qc · 2025-07-29 · reject · novelty 4.0

The paper derives new dark energy models from the postulate that the arbitrary oscillator mass in a free field's Hamiltonian is a real, gravitating mass contributing vacuum energy density μK^3.
