The Spinor-Tensor Gravity of the Classical Dirac Field

Published 7 Nov 2017 in physics.gen-ph | (1711.06545v4)

Abstract: In this work, with the help of the quantum hydrodynamic formalism, the gravitational equation associated to the Dirac field is derived. The hydrodynamic representation of the Dirac equation have been generalizaed to the curved space-time in the covariant form. Thence, the metric of the spacetime has been defined by imposing the minimum action principle. The derived gravity shows the spontaneous emergence of the cosmological gravity tensor (CGT) as a part of the energy-impulse tensor density (EITD) that in the classical limit leads to the cosmological constant (CC). Even if the classical cosmological constant is set to zero, the CGT is non zero, allowing to have a stable quantum vacuum (out of the collapsed branched polymer phase). The theory shows that in the classical limit, the gravity equation leads to the general relativity equation. In the perturbative approach, the CGT leads to a second order correction to the Newtonian gravity that takes contribution from the space where the mass is localized (and the spacetime is curvilinear) while tends to zero as the spacetime approaches to the flat vacuum leading, as a mean, to an overall cosmological cosmological constant that may possibly be compatible with the astronomical observations. The Dirac field gravity shows analogies with the modified Brans-Dicke gravity where each spinor term brings an effective gravity constant G divided by its field squared.
