洛伦兹协变量子输运与暗能量的起源

Lorentz-covariant quantum transport and the origin of dark energy

Arne Bergstrom

摘要:

暗能量占宇宙质能的76%,它的神秘之处可能的解释是,只需要量子在空间中传播的严格连续性方程(玻尔兹曼输运方程)应该具有洛伦兹协变和无色散的波动方程的形式。这一要求意味着(i)观测者将描述为与哈勃定律一致的均匀膨胀的时空性质,以及(ii)量子输运的行为类似于倍增因子= 2的倍增介质。这种固有的,本质上是爆炸性的真空多重性,因此造成的要求洛伦兹协变性,被认为是一个潜在的起源暗能量。此外,它表明(iii),这种要求的洛伦兹协变量子输运导致一个明显的加速膨胀的宇宙。除了更新的物理学手稿外,arXiv文件还包含了对读者提出的十几个常见问题的讨论。欢迎提出现有常见问题解答中未充分处理的其他问题。

英文摘要:

A possible explanation for the enigma of dark energy, responsible for about 76 % of the mass-energy of the universe, is obtained by requiring only that the rigorous continuity equation (the Boltzmann transport equation) for quanta propagating through space should have the form of a Lorentz-covariant and dispersion-free wave equation. This requirement implies (i) properties of space-time which an observer would describe as uniform expansion in agreement with Hubble's law, and (ii) that the quantum transport behaves like in a multiplicative medium with multiplication factor = 2. This inherent, essentially explosive multiplicity of vacuum, thus caused by the requirement of Lorentz-covariance, is suggested as a potential origin of dark energy. In addition, it is shown (iii) that this requirement of Lorentz-covariant quantum transport leads to an apparent accelerated expansion of the universe. In addition to the updated manuscript for Phys. Scr., the arXiv file also contains a discussion of about a dozen Frequently Asked Questions from readers. Further questions not adequately dealt with in the existing FAQ are welcome.
