Broken Scale Invariance, Gravity Mass, and Dark Energy in Modified Einstein Gravity with Two Measure Finsler Like Variables

Abstract

We study new classes of generic off-diagonal and diagonal cosmological solutions for effective Einstein equations in modified gravity theories, MGTs, with modified dispersion relations, MDRs, encoding possible violations of (local) Lorentz invariance, LIVs. Such MGTs are constructed for Lagrange densities with two non-Riemannian volume forms (two-measure theories, TMTs) and associated bimetric/ biconnection geometric structures. For conventional 2+2 splitting, we can describe such models in Finsler like variables, which is important for elaborating geometric methods of constructing exact and parametric solutions. Such formulations of general relativity, GR, and MGTs are considered for Lorentz manifolds and their (co) tangent bundles, in brief, FTMT. Off-diagonal metrics solving gravitational field equations in FTMTs are determined by generating functions, effective sources and integration constants and characterized by nonholonomic frame torsion effects. Restricting the class of integration functions, we can extract torsionless and diagonal configurations and model emergent cosmological theories with square scalar curvature, $R^2$, when the global Weyl-scale symmetry is broken via nonlinear dynamical interactions with nonholonomic constraints. In the physical Einstein-Finsler frame, the constructions involve (i) nonlinear re-parametrization symmetries of the generating functions and effective sources; (ii) effective potentials for the scalar field with possible two flat regions which allows a unified description of locally anisotropic and/or isotropic early universe inflation related to acceleration cosmology and dark energy; (iii) there are "emergent universes" described by (off-) diagonal solutions for certain nonholonomic phases and parametric cosmological evolution resulting in various inflationary phases; (iv) we can reproduce in two-measure theories massive gravity effects.

Yukawa coupling and one loop inflation in the light of CMB

The one loop inflation stemming from the superstring theory and associated Yukawa coupling arising from supersymmetric interactions is examined with CMB. The Yukawa coupling can exist beyond standard model particle physics sector. The tensor-to-scalar ratio of the loop inflation is found consistent with the recent CMB results for the Yukawa coupling from cosmology. The alternative constraint on the Yukawa coupling from loop inflation may play a crucial role in validating inflationary model originating from supersymmetry and string theory. The outcomes of the study may be helpful in the phenomenological realisation of string theory.

Phase Encoding of Genuine Three-Body Interactions in a Relativistic Dirac System in $1+1$ Dimensions

We show how genuine three-body phase information can enter the invariant mass of a relativistic three-particle Dirac system in $(1+1)$ dimensions. As a solvable reference system, we consider the Sakamoto--Munakata--Ino model with pairwise contact interactions $g_{ij}(1-α_iα_j)δ(x_i-x_j)$. These singular interactions can be transferred into sector-dependent phases and matching conditions by a discontinuous unitary transformation. Although the explicit contact terms are thereby removed, the nonzero constituent-mass operator is rotated and retains nontrivial spectral information. We introduce a genuine three-body holonomy generated by $Q_3=α_1α_2α_3$. The kinetic and pair-interaction parts commute with $Q_3$, while the constituent-mass operator anticommutes with it. Consequently, the massless system separates into the $Q_3=\pm1$ sectors, which acquire opposite holonomy phases $e^{\pm iθ_3}$, whereas nonzero constituent masses mix the two sectors. This phase-sector-mixing mechanism makes the relative three-body phase dynamically accessible to the bound-state spectrum and establishes an operator-level mechanism through which the three-body holonomy generates a $θ_3$ dependence of the physical three-body invariant mass. We further emphasize that the topological three-body holonomy is not automatically equivalent to a bare triple-contact potential; such an equivalence requires a regulated self-adjoint realization and a compatible interaction-dependent boost satisfying the Poincaré algebra. The resulting framework therefore connects genuine three-body phase information to the mass spectrum of a relativistic composite system while clearly separating the controlled holonomy construction from the unresolved short-distance triple-contact realization.

Twin Universes and Bimetric Gravity: From Sakharov's Cosmological Symmetry to Modern Speculations on Negative Mass

We review the conceptual and theoretical status of twin-universe models, from Sakharov's early ideas on baryogenesis, CPT symmetry, and reversed arrows of time to recent quantum-cosmological scenarios involving pair-created entangled universes. Particular attention is given to the distinction between Sakharov-type cosmological symmetry, modern bimetric theories of gravity, and speculative models involving negative mass sectors. We summarize the main consistency conditions faced by bimetric gravity, including the Boulware-Deser ghost, Higuchi-type bounds, covariant conservation laws, and no-go results for positive- and negative-mass sectors. We then examine the Janus cosmological model and related black-hole replacement proposals, emphasizing the difference between heuristic twin-universe narratives and fully specified relativistic field theories. We argue that while twin-universe ideas remain a fertile framework for questions about the arrow of time, matter-antimatter asymmetry, and the quantum origin of the universe, models combining bimetric gravity, negative mass, dark-sector phenomenology, and alternatives to Kerr black holes face a substantial burden of mathematical and observational proof.
