避免暗能量与宇宙矢量的重合问题

Avoiding the dark energy coincidence problem with a cosmic vector

Jose Beltran Jimenez, Antonio L. Maroto

摘要:

我们表明,宇宙尺度上的矢量理论是暗能量的优秀候选者。我们考虑两个不同的例子,两者都是没有维度参数和势项的理论,具有早期宇宙的自然初始条件和与LCDM相同数量的自由参数。第一个在辐射期间表现出标度行为,今天有一个强烈的幻影阶段,以“大冻结”奇点结束。该模型为SNIa Gold数据集提供了迄今为止的最佳拟合。我们考虑的第二个理论是标准电磁学。我们表明,在宇宙尺度上的时间电磁场产生一个有效的宇宙学常数,而在电弱尺度暴胀过程中产生的原始电磁量子涨落可以自然地解释,不仅这个字段的存在,而且测量值的暗能量密度。该理论与所有的局部引力检验是相容的,并且没有经典或量子不稳定性。因此,不仅暗能量的真实性质可以在不诉诸新物理学的情况下建立,而且宇宙学常数的值也可以在标准暴胀宇宙学的背景下找到一个自然的解释。

英文摘要:

We show that vector theories on cosmological scales are excellent candidates for dark energy. We consider two different examples, both are theories with no dimensional parameters nor potential terms, with natural initial conditions in the early universe and the same number of free parameters as LCDM. The first one exhibits scaling behaviour during radiation and a strong phantom phase today, ending in a "big-freeze" singularity. This model provides the best fit to date for the SNIa Gold dataset. The second theory we consider is standard electromagnetism. We show that a temporal electromagnetic field on cosmological scales generates an effective cosmological constant and that primordial electromagnetic quantum fluctuations produced during electroweak scale inflation could naturally explain, not only the presence of this field, but also the measured value of the dark energy density. The theory is compatible with all the local gravity tests, and is free from classical or quantum instabilities. Thus, not only the true nature of dark energy could be established without resorting to new physics, but also the value of the cosmological constant would find a natural explanation in the context of standard inflationary cosmology.
