Research
My research develops a coherent, action-based framework for gravity in which spacetime curvature is regulated by a dynamic vacuum-response field rather than treated as an unconstrained geometric quantity. This approach—coherence-regulated gravity—extends scalar–tensor theory by enforcing dimensional consistency at the level of the action and introducing a natural saturation mechanism that prevents singular behavior.
Within this framework, gravitational collapse and cosmological contraction do not terminate in divergences. Instead, curvature dynamically approaches a finite-density limit governed by a coherence field that encodes local vacuum response. General Relativity is recovered exactly in the high-coherence, low-curvature regime, while deviations emerge only near extreme curvature, where the theory makes concrete, testable predictions.
Two primary applications are explored:
(1) non-singular black-hole remnants characterized by curvature saturation and gravitational-wave echo signatures, and
(2) a smooth, finite-density cosmological bounce replacing the classical big-bang singularity.
The work is formulated conservatively, prioritizing internal consistency, recovery limits, and observational falsifiability over speculative extensions. Current efforts focus on formal analysis, numerical validation, and comparison with gravitational-wave and early-universe observations.
Framework
This work develops a coherence-regulated theory of gravity derived from a dimensionally consistent action principle. Spacetime curvature is coupled to a dynamic vacuum-response field that governs how geometry reacts under stress. In ordinary, low-curvature environments the theory reduces exactly to General Relativity. Departures occur only near extreme curvature, where the vacuum response saturates and prevents singular behavior.
The framework is formulated within a conservative scalar–tensor structure, emphasizing explicit recovery limits, covariance, and internal consistency. The goal is not to replace General Relativity, but to extend it into regimes where equilibrium assumptions break down.
Predictions
Coherence-regulated gravity makes concrete, testable predictions in strong-field and early-universe regimes. These include:
• Finite-density black-hole remnants with regulated interior curvature
• Characteristic gravitational-wave echo signatures arising from curvature saturation near the horizon scale
• A smooth cosmological bounce replacing the classical big-bang singularity
• Standard Friedmann expansion recovered in the low-curvature limit, with deviations confined to the earliest epochs
These predictions are geometric in origin and do not rely on exotic matter components or ad hoc cutoffs.
