Key Points

  • The central aim is to develop a UV-complete theory of gravity using the Einstein-Skyrme system within a causal lattice framework.
  • Utilized Einstein-Skyrme system on a Planck-scale causal lattice.
  • Implemented Vainshtein screening for solar-system tests.
  • Calculated gravitational-wave background features at $f=2.87 ext{mHz}$.
  • The model sets a cutoff at $ ext{UV} = 2 ext{pi}/ ext{ell}_{ ext{Pl}}$.
  • Predicted chiral primordial gravitational-wave background is detectable by LISA.
  • Enhanced non-Gaussianity observed with $f_{ ext{NL}}^{ ext{GW}} ext{O}(10)$ for tensor modes.

Abstract

We propose a UV-complete theory of gravity by placing the Einstein--Skyrme system on a Planck-scale causal lattice. The Skyrme field (SU (2) ) provides a topological regulator via ₃ (SU (2) ) =Z, setting a cutoff ₔₕ=2/ ₏₋. The model passes solar-system tests via Vainshtein screening and predicts a chiral primordial gravitational-wave background peaking at f=2. 870. 03\, mHz (₆ₖ h² 10^-12), detectable by LISA. The tensor-tensor-tensor non-Gaussianity is enhanced, f ₍₋^ GW O (10). This theory not only builds a connecting path for the unification of quantum gravity and classical gravity, but also provides physical predictions that can be tested by gravitational wave observations, opening new avenues for addressing fundamental issues such as the nature of spacetime and cosmic evolution.
