Abstract

The Planck mass and the cosmological constant determine the minimum and the maximum distances in the physical universe. A relativistic theory that takes into account a fundamental distance limit $\ell$ on par with the fundamental speed limit $c$, is based on the de Sitter extension of the Lorentz symmetry. This article proposes a new de Sitter gauge theory of gravity which allows the consistent cosmological evolution of the $\ell$. The theory is locally equivalent to Dirac's scale-invariant version of general relativity, and suggests a novel non-singular extension of cosmology.<br />9 pages, 0 figures
