| dc.description | This study toward quantum gravity (QG) introduces an SU(N) gauge theory with the Θvacuum term as a trial theory. Newton gravitation constant G_N is realized as the effective coupling constant for a massive graviton, G_N /\sqrt{2} = g_f g_g^2/8 M_G^2 \simeq 10^{-38} GeV^{-2} with the gauge boson mass M_G = M_{Pl} \simeq 10^{19} GeV, the gravitational coupling constant g_g, and the gravitational factor g_f. This scheme postulates the effective cosmological constant as the effective vacuum energy represented by massive gauge bosons, Λ_e = 8 πG_N M_G^4, and provides a plausible explanation for the small cosmological constant at the present epoch Λ_0 \simeq 10^{-84} GeV^2 and the large value at the Planck epoch Λ_{Pl} \simeq 10^{38} GeV^2; the condensation of the singlet gauge field <ϕ> triggers the current anomaly and subtracts the gauge boson mass, M_G^2 = M_{Pl}^2 - g_f g_g^2 <ϕ>^2 = g_f g_g^2 (A_{0}^2 - <ϕ>^2), as the vacuum energy. Relations among QG, general relativity, and Newtonian mechanics are discussed. | |
