宇宙学常数、宇宙学各向同性破坏与CMB

Cosmological constant, violation of cosmological isotropy and CMB

Federico R. Urban, Ariel R. Zhitnitsky

摘要:

我们认为,宇宙真空能量之谜的解决方案并不需要任何新的领域以外的标准模型,而是可以解释为红外部门的有效引力理论与标准模型领域的相互作用的结果。这个框架中的宇宙学常数可以用QCD参数和哈勃常数$H$表示如下,$ε_{vac} \sim H \cdot m_q\la\bar{q}q\ra /m_{η'} \sim (4.3\cdot 10^{-3} \text{eV})^4$,它与今天的观测值惊人地接近。在这项工作中,我们解释了如何通过分析CMB数据来测试这一建议。特别是,知道观测到的宇宙学常数的值,就可以确定空间平坦、时间恒定的3d超曲面的最小尺寸,例如在有效1-环面的情况下,预测为约74 Gpc。我们还评论了这个框架的另一个重要的预测,这是违反宇宙学各向同性。这种各向异性确实被WMAP观测到,并将被未来的普朗克数据证实(或排除)。

英文摘要:

We suggest that the solution to the cosmological vacuum energy puzzle does not require any new field beyond the standard model, but rather can be explained as a result of the interaction of the infrared sector of the effective theory of gravity with standard model fields. The cosmological constant in this framework can be presented in terms of QCD parameters and the Hubble constant $H$ as follows, $ε_{vac} \sim H \cdot m_q\la\bar{q}q\ra /m_{η'} \sim (4.3\cdot 10^{-3} \text{eV})^4$, which is amazingly close to the observed value today. In this work we explain how this proposal can be tested by analyzing CMB data. In particular, knowing the value of the observed cosmological constant fixes univocally the smallest size of the spatially flat, constant time 3d hypersurface which, for instance in the case of an effective 1-torus, is predicted to be around 74 Gpc. We also comment on another important prediction of this framework which is a violation of cosmological isotropy. Such anisotropy is indeed apparently observed by WMAP, and will be confirmed (or ruled out) by future PLANCK data.
