OJM Octonionic Gravity Formation, Its Connections to Micro Physics Andrew Beckwith Department of Physics, Chongqing University, Chongqing, China E-mail: abeckwith@uh.edu Received March 14, 2011; revised May 1, 2011; accepted May 11, 2011 Abstract We ask if Octonionic quantum gravity is a relevant consideration near the Planck scale. Furthermore, we examine whether gravitational waves would be generated during the initial phase, 0 , of the universe when triggered by changes in spacetime geometry; i.e. what role would an increase in degrees of freedom have in setting the conditions during 0 , so that the result of these conditions can be observed and analyzed by a gravitational detector. The micro physics interaction is due to the formation of a pre Planckian to Planckian space time transition in spatial dimensions at and near the Planck dimensional values, i.e. 10–33 centimeters in spatial dimensions. This transition would be abrupt and arising in micro physics regimes of space time. Keywords: High-Frequency Gravitational Waves (HFGW), Symmetry, Causal Discontinuity 1. Introduction The Planck epoch has remained mysterious, and may be invisible to all other kinds of detectors, but the universe’s gravity wave background radiation likely contains the imprint of even the very earliest events. Changes in the geometry of space-time near the Planck scale could be revealed or studied in this manner. We discuss how to obtain insights into 0 , initially, while looking at the geometric considerations determining space and time development which would create relevant space-time geometry phase changes during the early universe. The formation of Planckian space time is in what is called Octonionic quantum gravity [1] Each such phase change leading to Octonionic Quantum gravity should produce gravitational waves. The geometry change alluded to is effectively initially on an infinitesimal scale, which is why Micro physics is referred to at all. (‘quantum me- chanics’) and de facto quantum gravity, at the start of Planckian space time. This Planckian space time would mark the beginning of inflation. We give conditions for detection of [2,3] 0 if, for example, one can isolate an appropriate first-order perturbative electromagnetic power flux, [2-4] in scenarios where the graviton has a (1) uv T vanishingly small – but non-zero – rest mass [2]. Now for how to get non zero graviton rest mass. This is where the micro physics regime becomes so important. The Micro Physics Problem. How to Solve the Corre- spondence Problem, I. E. (Gravitons in 4D with Slight Mass (5 Degrees of Freedom) Versus Gravitons in 4 D with NO Mass (2 Degrees of Freedom). This formation of a graviton, must be done before the formation of QM, in space time. The correspondence problem, is that a Graviton with slight rest mass in 4 D will have five degrees of freedom wheras a Graviton in 4 D, with no mass has two degrees of freedom. I.e. there is no way about this, and that if gravitons as brought up by Beckwith [2] have a small rest mass, which contributes to DE speed up of accelera- tion of the universe a billion years ago, gravitons cannot be synthesized during the time when QM becomes dominant. This document gives a regime of space time before QM, which embeds quantum mechanics. If a 4D graviton with rest mass not equal to zero is formed, it will be in the template of space time before to up to 10–44 seconds. I.e. as stated , so as to have GW/Gravitons with rest mass not equal to zero forming [2], The document mentions a phase alteration, which we claim is due to this alteration from classical embedding of quantum me- chanics, to its full expression in the Planckian space time regime. This micro physics leads to [2-4] 0 What we propose is the following evolution in the mi- cro physics regime, up to 10–44 seconds 1) That the degrees of freedom increase, with an in- A. BECKWITH 14 crease in temperature, during a transition to a Rindler Geometry flat space regime of space time. As given in Equation (16), with increasing temperature, more degrees of freedom unfold from a topological transi- tion. Degrees of freedom likely approach a maxima as temperature does, but this is a subject needing ex- perimental exploration and verification. 2) That for low but non zero initial temperature, the so called cold universe model, in pre space time in the pre Planckian regime, one has initially a huge degree of generated entropy. At the same time, we have about 2 degrees of freedom, with complex geometry in each geometrical slot, geoinfometric instantiation, or “infometron” of space time, which large quantities of stored entropy enveloped in the ‘crevices’ between infometrons, or lattice points. 3) Low degrees of freedom for low temperature corre- sponds to a complex geometry storing large amounts of total entropy in a complex geometric structure, and that later the entropy is released, with a break down of this complex geometric structure, i.e. equivalent to having many lattices, highly ordered, with low de- grees of freedom per ‘lattice’, to many degrees of freedom (DOF) as space time ‘lattices’ are broken, releasing entropy. The analogy is not perfect, but ap- proximates what would happen as one goes from complex curved space geometry with many ‘crevices’ for storage of entropy, which are released, “appar- ently” leading to a lot of entropy,. Further elaboration of what is being brought up is tied in with mutually unbiased basis (MUB), [5] .The values of 0 are set by the difference between Renyi entropy [6], and a particle count version of entropy, i.e. Sn. Are predictions also possible regarding signal strength of evolutionary artifacts of early universe HFGW? Again, yes. What we are talking about is the break down, due to thermal heat flux of an initial mutually unbiased basis set for a very complex initial geometry, and a reconstitution of space time geometry in flat Euclidian space time re- gime. The topological transition is due to a change in basis / geometry from the regime of Renyi entropy [6]to entropy in a particle count version of entropy, i.e. Sn. The choice of a Gaussian mapping, with two variable inputs, as given by Equation (16) below is done as a simplest case model. We will model inputs into the ini- tial value of as high energy fluctuations, and see if they contribute to examination of the formation of non commutative geometry in the beginning/just before the inflationary era. 1.1. First, Thermal Input into the New Universe. In Terms of Vacuum Energy We will briefly allude to temperature drivers which may say something about how thermal energy will be intro- duced into the onset of a universe. This will be the ‘thermal driver’ for the increase in degrees of freedom. Begin first with looking at different value of the cosmo- logical vacuum energy parameters, in four and five di- mensions [7] 5dim1 1cT (1) in contrast with the more traditional four-dimensional version of the same, minus the minus sign of the brane world theory version. as given by Park [8] 4dim 2 cT (2) Right after the gravitons are released, one still sees a drop-off of temperature contributions to the cosmological constant .Then for time values1 P tt , and integer n [7] 1 01 4dim 5dim 1 1n (3) In terms of its import the following has been suggested in the initial phases of the big bang, with large vacuum energy and 0, 01at at , the following relation, which violates (signal) causality, is obtained for small fluctuation P at l If we examine 5dim 2 cT We assume in this that we have, a discontinuity in the pre Planckian regime, for scale factors [7]. 1( )1 at tval ue at (4) Furthermore, in the transition for 0 P tt the fol- lowing increase in degrees of freedom is driven by ther- mal energy from a prior universe starting with [9] 0 1 2 thermalB temperature EkT T (5) The assumption is that there is an initial fixed entropy arising, with N as a nucleated structure in short time interval as temperature ar- rives. 19 0,10 temperature TG eV If the inputs into the inflaton , as given by a random influx of thermal energy from temperature, we will see the particle count on the right hand side of Equation (13) 2 22 22 1612161 24π4π4π Planck STk M (6) Copyright © 2011 SciRes.

Passing gravitons through to a new univis not the same thinerse g though as a pre Planckian geometry, f or Octonian gravity conditions arise in early Planckian space time. This is a different perspective than what is normally used in analyzing what happens in a transition between initial Planck time ~ 44 10 seconds, and cosmological evolution up to 30 10 seconds We will specify how to locate massive gravitons, via an experimental set up which may enable obtaining data for supporting a value [2,3] for 0 . The next dis- cussion is on research done by Dr. F. Li, et al., 2003, [4], 2. Re Casting the Problem of GW/Graviton in a Detector for “Massive” Gravitons We now turn to the problem of detection. The following / - sea time gy discussion is based upon with the work of Dr. Li, Dr Beckwith, and other Institute of theoretical physics re rchers in Chongquing University [2-4]. It is now to consider what happens if one is looking for traces of gravitons which may have a small rest mass in four di- mensions. What Li et al. have shown in 2003 [2-4] which Beckwith commented upon and made an extension in [2] is to obtain a way to present what is called here in the literature [3,4]a first order perturbative electromagnetic power flux, i.e. what was called (1) uv Tin terms of a non zero four dimensional graviton rest mass, in a detector , in the presence of uniform magnetic field, when exam- ining the following situation, i.e. [2-4] what if we have curved space time with say an ener momentum tensor of the electro magnetic fields in GW fields as given by 0 11 4 uvv v TFFgFF (17) Li et al.

From there, the energy density order contributions of, (1) uv T i.e. (1) 00 T can be isolated, and reviewed in order to obtain traces , which can be used to interpret Equation (14). I.e. use F and make a linkage of sorts with (1) 00 T. The term (1) 00 T isolated out from (1) uv T present day dhe ata.

As far as universe geometry and what we may be able to ob considerations are make or break as to the ro universe geometry and the gener start of the universe. To begin with, we will look at Maggiore’s [10] GW formulation, his ideas of strain. The idea will be to look at how the ten to the tenth stretch out of generated wave length may tie in with early universe models. We will from there proceed to look at, and speculate how the presented conclusions factor in with information exchange between different universes. We begin with the following tables, Table 1 and Ta- ble 2. The idea will be to, if one has 00.51 0.14h, as a degree of measurement uncertainty begin as to under- stand what may be affecting an expansion of the wave lengths of pre Planckian GW/gravitons which are then increased up to ten orders of magnitude. What we have stated below in Table 2 will have major consequences as far as not only information flow from a prior to present universe, but also fine tuning the degree of GW variance What we are expecting, as given to us by L. Crowell, is that initial waves, synthesized in the initial part of the Planckian regime would have about 14 ~10 GW meters for 22 ~10 GW f Hertz which would turn into 1 ~10 GW meters , for 9 ~10 GW f Hertz, and sensitivity Table 2.

Doing so is a way of stating that Analog, (Pre Ocononian) reality is the driving force behind the evolution of inflationary physics 1) Pre Octonian gravity physics (analog regime of ity) features a break down of the Octonian grav ommutation relationships when one has curve e.

Per unit volume of space time. The peak regime of where the degrees of freedom maximize is where the Octo- nian regime holds. 2) Analog physics, prior to the build up of temperature can be represented by Equation (7) and Equation (8). The first of these mappings is an ergotic mapping, a perfect mixing regime from many universes into our own present universe. This mapping requires a de- terministic quantum limit as similar to what t’Hooft included in his embedding of Quantum physics in a larger, non linear theory [11]. This will help to localize the regime of space time build up potentially giving experimental details to the formation of Equation (14) and Equation (15) above. The claim is that the physical evolution described by Equa- tion (7) and Equation (8) would arise, as a dynamic evo- lutionary process in the Micro physics regime leading to an embedding of quantum physics, in a larger, non linear theory, which would lead to massive gravitons being nthesized whole scale. This whole scale synthesis of gravitons with a small rest mass occurs in initial micro physics background as indicated above, a result we hope to confirm via accurate measurements of the phase. 4.
