Unimodular Informational Gravity: A Self-Tuning Approach to the Cosmological Constant

Abstract

Unimodular Informational Gravity: A Self-Tuning Approach to the Cosmological Constant Author: Alex De Giuseppe Description:This work introduces Unimodular Informational Gravity, a theoretical framework that combines unimodular gravity with concepts from information theory to address the cosmological constant problem. This provides a concrete, dynamical resolution to the longstanding cosmological constant problem. The model introduces a scalar field called structural density $\rho(x)$, which dynamically regulates spacetime curvature. Its non-linear evolution, together with a stabilizing potential, allows the vacuum energy contribution to self-tune, reducing the enormous quantum field predictions down to the observed value of the cosmological constant. Beyond resolving this fundamental problem, the framework naturally addresses several key cosmological phenomena: Hubble Tension: reproduces the observed expansion rate without additional tuning. Dark Matter Mimicry: gradients in the structural density create gravitational effects similar to dark matter, generating flat galactic rotation curves without introducing new particles. Big Bang Regularization: the potential for $\rho$ smooths initial singularities, providing a regular cosmological evolution. Arrow of Time: monotonic growth of an informational entropy associated with $\rho$ links the direction of time to the emergence of cosmic structure. The model makes testable predictions, including subtle deviations from $\Lambda$CDM in gravitational lensing, structure growth, and CMB signatures, offering a falsifiable and numerically testable framework. This work provides a proof-of-principle that the cosmological constant can be dynamically stabilized without fine-tuning, opening new perspectives on vacuum energy, dark matter, and early-universe cosmology.
