  A frame dependent effective action motivated by the postulates of three-space
general coordinate invariance and Weyl scaling invariance exactly mimics a
cosmological constant in Robertson-Walker spacetimes. However, in a static
spherically symmetric Schwarzschild-like geometry it modifies the black hole
horizon structure within microscopic distances of the nominal horizon, in such
a way that $g_{00}$ never vanishes. This could have important implications for
the black hole "information paradox".
