A Scale at 10 MeV, Gravitational Topological Vacuum, and Large Extra Dimensions

We discuss a possible scale of gravitational origin at around 10 MeV, or 10−12 cm, which arises in the MacDowell–Mansouri formalism of gravity due to the topological Gauss–Bonnet term in the action, as pointed out by Bjorken several years ago. A length scale of the same size emerges also in the Koda...
