IMM Paper 8: Gravity as Pushforward — The IMM Master Action and Its Spectral Extension of General Relativity

Constructs S_IMM[g,Δ,ψ] with Einstein-Hilbert term alongside spectral couplings. GR recovered at fixed point (consistency result — E-H term included by construction, explicitly stated). Non-trivial content: spectral scalar Δ(x) as new dynamical degree of freedom; dark energy w(z)≠-1 testable against DESI 2024; geodesic pushforward; heavy-field limit recovers GR.

Abstract

Constructs S_IMM[g,Δ,ψ] with Einstein-Hilbert term alongside spectral couplings. GR recovered at fixed point (consistency result — E-H term included by construction, explicitly stated). Non-trivial content: spectral scalar Δ(x) as new dynamical degree of freedom; dark energy w(z)≠-1 testable against DESI 2024; geodesic pushforward; heavy-field limit recovers GR.
