Abstract

Following our recent work on the cosmological constant problem, in this letter we make a specific proposal regarding the fine structure (i.e., the spectrum) of dark energy. The proposal is motivated by a deep analogy between the blackbody radiation problem, which led to the development of quantum theory, and the cosmological constant problem, for which we have recently argued calls for a conceptual extension of the quantum theory. We argue that the fine structure of dark energy is governed by a Wien distribution, indicating its dual quantum and classical nature. We discuss observational consequences of such a picture of dark energy and constrain the distribution function.

Stabilization of Sub-Millimeter Dimensions: The New Guise of the Hierarchy Problem

Technical Report Arkani-Hamed, Nima

A new framework for solving the hierarchy problem was recently proposed which does not rely on low energy supersymmetry or technicolor. The fundamental Planck mass is at a TeV and the observed weakness of gravity at long distances is due the existence of new sub-millimeter spatial dimensions. In this picture the standard model fields are localized to a (3 + 1)-dimensional wall or ''3-brane''. The hierarchy problem becomes isomorphic to the problem of the largeness of the extra dimensions. This is in turn inextricably linked to the cosmological constant problem, suggesting the possibility of a common solution. The radii ofmore »« less

Neutrino-assisted early dark energy: theory and cosmology

Journal Article Carrillo González, Mariana ; Liang, Qiuyue ; Sakstein, Jeremy ; ... - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

Abstract The tension between measurements of the Hubble constant obtained at different redshifts may provide a hint of new physics active in the relatively early universe, around the epoch of matter-radiation equality. A leading paradigm to resolve the tension is a period of early dark energy, in which a scalar field contributes a subdominant part of the energy budget of the universe at this time. This scenario faces significant fine-tuning problems which can be ameliorated by a non-trivial coupling of the scalar to the standard model neutrinos. These become non-relativistic close to the time of matter-radiation equality, resulting in anmore »« less

Dynamical dark energy and infinite statistics

Journal Article Jejjala, Vishnu ; Kavic, Michael J. ; Minic, Djordje ; ... - International Journal of Modern Physics A

In the [Formula: see text]CDM model, dark energy is viewed as a constant vacuum energy density, the cosmological constant in the Einstein–Hilbert action. This assumption can be relaxed in various models that introduce a dynamical dark energy. In this paper, we argue that the mixing between infrared (IR) and ultraviolet (UV) degrees of freedom in quantum gravity leads to infinite statistics, the unique statistics consistent with Lorentz invariance in the presence of nonlocality, and yields a fine structure for dark energy. Introducing IR and UV cutoffs into the quantum gravity action, we deduce the form of [Formula: see text] asmore »« less

Theoretical Research at the High Energy Frontier: Cosmology and Beyond

Technical Report Krauss, Lawrence M.

The forefront of particle physics has focused on possible physics beyond the standard model which might help explain its peculiarities, including the nature of the spectrum of masses of elementary particles, the peculiar hierarchy between the Planck scale and the electroweak scale, and the possible manner in which the standard model might be embedded in a quantum theory which incorporates gravity. Over the past several decades it has become clear that several of the key out-standing problems associated with our understanding of fundamental interactions are inextricably tied to questions that are also of current interest in cosmology and astrophysics.
