Towards lattice-regularized Quantum Gravity
read the original abstract
Using the Cartan formulation of General Relativity, we construct a well defined lattice-regularized theory capable to describe large non-perturbative quantum fluctuations of the frame field (or the metric) and of the spin connection. To that end we need to present the tetrad by a composite field built as a bilinear combination of fermion fields. The theory is explicitly invariant under local Lorentz transformations and, in the continuum limit, under general covariant transformations, or diffeomorphisms. Being well defined for large and fast varying fields at the ultraviolet cutoff, the theory simultaneously has chances of reproducing standard General Relativity in the infrared continuum limit. The present regularization of quantum gravity opens new possibilities of its unification with the Standard Model.

$\mathcal{H}$olographic $\mathcal{N}$aturalness and Pre-Geometric Gravity
Holographic naturalness embedded in pre-geometric gravity generates the cosmological constant from a Higgs-like VEV tied to de Sitter entropy, stabilizing it via entropic suppression while predicting new hairon particles.

Thermodynamics of homogeneous Universes: de Sitter, Bonnor-Melvin and static Einstein
De Sitter, Bonnor-Melvin-Λ and static Einstein universes share the same thermodynamic energy-density equation despite dissimilar matter fields, yielding zero cosmological constant in Minkowski vacuum.
