Relativistic Coherent Vacuum Gravity Theory (rCVGT)
Description
This paper presents the full relativistic formulation of the Relativistic Coherent Vacuum Gravity Theory (rCVGT), extending the original Coherent Vacuum Gravity Theory (CVGT) into a covariant field-theoretic framework. The theory is built on four vacuum-structure fields: a vacuum order parameter (psi), a coherence field (Q, proportional to the squared magnitude of psi), a vacuum-flow four-vector (u), and a physical time-rate field (tau). From these fields an emergent spacetime metric can be constructed in regimes where a geometric description is valid. Together they enter a unified relativistic action and generate modified gravitational dynamics through vacuum-coherence contributions to the effective stress-energy tensor.
The theory reproduces Newtonian gravity and the original CVGT in the appropriate limits while predicting coherence-induced antigravity, dark-matter-like halo formation, refractive gravitational-wave propagation, and a time-dependent cosmic acceleration. In the strong-field regime, rCVGT predicts that black holes arise as coherence-saturated and nonsingular vacuum configurations, characterized by Q becoming extremely large and the internal time-rate tau approaching zero. The framework also yields a Penrose-type gravitational self-energy associated with differences in vacuum-coherence structure, providing a physically motivated mechanism for wave-function collapse.
The document includes full field equations, weak-field reductions, cosmological implications, observational signatures, toy models, stability analyses, and extended derivations. The appendices provide modified Friedmann equations, halo solutions, perturbation theory, and a quantum-field interpretation linking vacuum coherence to Casimir-like energy shifts and squeezed-state analogies.
