Stellar Black Holes and the Origin of Cosmic Acceleration

摘要:

宇宙加速的发现给宇宙学家提出了一个独特的挑战。随着观测宇宙学的不断发展,理论家们一直在努力理解一个需要极度微调的标准模型。这个挑战被称为宇宙学常数问题。引力以太理论是广义相对论的替代理论,它不受这种微调问题的影响,因为它从几何学上解释了量子场论的真空,同时与其他引力测试保持一致。在本文中,我们研究静态黑洞解在这个理论,并表明它体现了紫外-红外耦合:以太耦合时空度规接近黑洞视界,在无穷远处的度量。然后,我们表明,使用trans-Planckian的反引力(作为一个量子引力效应)接近黑洞的地平线,导致加速宇宙学的解决方案,远离地平线。有趣的是,这种加速度与目前对恒星质量黑洞的观测相匹配。基于我们目前对宇宙中黑洞吸积历史的理解,我们预测了有效暗能量密度随红移的变化规律,这可以通过未来的暗能量探测器进行验证。

英文摘要:

The discovery of cosmic acceleration has presented a unique challenge for cosmologists. As observational cosmology forges ahead, theorists have struggled to make sense of a standard model that requires extreme fine tuning. This challenge is known as the cosmological constant problem. The theory of gravitational aether is an alternative to general relativity that does not suffer from this fine-tuning problem, as it decouples the quantum field theory vacuum from geometry, while remaining consistent with other tests of gravity. In this paper, we study static black hole solutions in this theory and show that it manifests a UV-IR coupling: Aether couples the spacetime metric close to the black hole horizon, to metric at infinity. We then show that using the Trans-Planckian ansatz (as a quantum gravity effect) close to the black hole horizon, leads to an accelerating cosmological solution, far from the horizon. Interestingly, this acceleration matches current observations for stellar mass black holes. Based on our current understanding of the black hole accretion history in the Universe, we then make a prediction for how the effective dark energy density should evolve with redshift, which can be tested with future dark energy probes.
