Séminaire


Résumé : The investigation of quantum correction to the action of gravity is a complicated problem, which is not completely resolved yet. At the same time, a set of simple assumptions such as covariance arguments, enable us to write down a general form of the quantum vacuum contributions up to a single free coefficient. It is interesting that the theory with such corrections is capable to explain the rotation curves in different types of galaxies without usual LCDM part. This fact gives some serious background to attempts to create an alternative cosmic concordance model with much smaller amount of WDM and dominating cosmological constant. The study of gravitational lensing in this model looks very promising and interesting task.
