Thermal vacuum, cosmic microwave radiation, neutrino masses and fractal-like self-similar structure

[摘要] The behavior of thermal vacuum condensates of scalar and fermion fields is analyzed and it is shown that the condensate of Maxwell fields reproduces the characteristics of the cosmic microwave radiation. By studying fermion thermal states with the temperature of the cosmic neutrino background, we derive a value of the sum of the active neutrino masses which is compatible with its estimated lower bound. Moreover, we reveal the fractal self-similar structure of the thermal radiation and we relate it to the coherent structure of the thermal vacuum.
