轴子弱引力猜想对早期暗能量的限制

Constraints on Early Dark Energy from the Axion Weak Gravity Conjecture

Tom Rudelius

摘要:

解决哈勃张力的一个流行的建议涉及暗能量的早期阶段,由具有周期性势的轴子场驱动。在本文中,我们认为,这些模型是严格限制的轴子弱引力猜想:对于典型的参数值,轴子衰减常数必须满足$f < 0.008 M_{\textrm{Pl}}$,这是小于轴子衰减常数出现在绝大多数早期的暗能量模型。我们讨论了可能的方法来逃避或放松这一约束,认为它的漏洞很小,难以线程。这表明,在量子引力的紫外完备理论中实现早期的暗能量模型可能是具有挑战性的。

英文摘要:

A popular proposal for resolving the Hubble tension involves an early phase of dark energy, driven by an axion field with a periodic potential. In this paper, we argue that these models are tightly constrained by the axion weak gravity conjecture: for typical parameter values, the axion decay constant must satisfy $f < 0.008 M_{\textrm{Pl}}$, which is smaller than the axion decay constants appearing in the vast majority of early dark energy models to date. We discuss possible ways to evade or loosen this constraint, arguing that its loopholes are small and difficult to thread. This suggests that it may prove challenging to realize early dark energy models in a UV complete theory of quantum gravity.
