We will look for an implementation of new symmetries in the space-time structure and their cosmological implications. This search will allow us to find a unified vision for electrodynamics and gravitation. We will attempt to develop a heuristic model
of the electromagnetic nature of the electron, so that the influence of the gravitational field on the electrodynamics at very large distances leads to a reformulation of our comprehension of the space- time structure at quantum level through the elimination of the classical idea of rest. This will lead us to a modification of the relativistic theory by introducing the idea about a universal minimum limit of speed in the space- time. Such a limit, unattainable by the particles, represents a preferred frame associated with a universal background field (a vacuum energy), enabling a fundamental understanding of the quantum uncertainties. The structure of space-time becomes extended due to such a vacuum energy density, which leads to a negative pressure at the cosmological scales as an anti-gravity, playing the role of the cosmological constant. The tiny values of the vacuum energy density and the cosmological constant will be successfully obtained, being in agreement with current observational results.

lectrodynamics and gravitation, so that the influence of the gravitational field on the electrodynamics at very large distances leads to a reformulation of our understanding about space-time through the elimination of the classical idea of rest at quantum level. This leads us to a modification of the relativistic theory by introducing the idea of a universal minimum speed related to Planck minimum length. Such a speed, unattainable by the particles, represents a privileged inertial reference frame associated with a universal background field. The structure of space-time becomes extended due to such a vacuum energy density, which leads to a cosmological anti-gravity, playing the role of the cosmological constant. The tiny values of the vacuum energy density and the cosmological constant are successfully obtained, being in agreement with current observational results. We estimate the very high value of vacuum energy density at Planck length scale. After we find the critical radius of the universe, beyond which the accelerated expansion takes place. We show that such a critical radius is $R_{uc}=r_g/2$, where $r_g=2GM/c^2$, being $r_g$ the Shwarzschild radius of a sphere with a mass $M$ representing the total attractive mass contained in our universe. And finally we obtain the radius $R_{u0}=3r_g/4(>R_{uc})$ where we find the maximum rate of accelerated expansion. For $R_u>R_{u0}$, the rate of acceleration decreases to zero at the infinite, avoiding Big Rip.
We use a renormalization group method to treat QCD-vacuum behavior specially closer to the regime of asymptotic freedom. QCD-vacuum behaves effectively like a paramagnetic system of a classical theory in the sense that virtual color charges (gluons)
emerges in it as a spin effect of a paramagnetic material when a magnetic field aligns their microscopic magnetic dipoles. Due to that strong classical analogy with the paramagnetism of Landaus theory,we will be able to use a certain Landau effective action without temperature and phase transition for just representing QCD-vacuum behavior at higher energies as being magnetization of a paramagnetic material in the presence of a magnetic field $H$. This reasoning will allow us to apply Thompsons approach to such an action in order to extract an effective susceptibility ($chi>0$) of QCD-vacuum. It depends on logarithmic of energy scale $u$ to investigate hadronic matter. Consequently we are able to get an ``effective magnetic permeability ($mu>1$) of such a paramagnetic vacuum. Actually,as QCD-vacuum must obey Lorentz invariance,the attainment of $mu>1$ must simply require that the effective electrical permissivity is $epsilon<1$ in such a way that $muepsilon=1$ ($c^2=1$). This leads to the anti-screening effect where the asymptotic freedom takes place. We will also be able to extend our investigation to include both the diamagnetic fermionic properties of QED-vacuum (screening) and the paramagnetic bosonic properties of QCD-vacuum (anti-screening) into the same formalism by obtaining a $beta$-function at 1 loop,where both the bosonic and fermionic contributions are considered.
