Explaining Holographic Dark Energy
نویسنده
چکیده
The physical origin of holographic dark energy (HDE) is investigated. The main existing explanations, namely the UV/IR connection argument of Cohen et al, Thomas’ bulk holography argument, and Ng’s spacetime foam argument, are shown to be not satisfactory. A new explanation of the HDE model is then proposed based on the ideas of Thomas and Ng. It is suggested that the dark energy might originate from the quantum fluctuations of spacetime limited by the event horizon of the universe. Several potential problems of the explanation are also discussed.

Reconstructing holographic quintessence
The holographic dark energy model is an attempt for probing the nature of dark energy within the framework of quantum gravity. The dimensionless parameter c determines the main property of the holographic dark energy. With the choice of c ≥ 1, the holographic dark energy can be described completely by a quintessence scalar field. In this paper, we show this quintessential description of the hol...
متن کاملStatefinder diagnosis for the interacting model of holographic dark energy
In this paper, we investigate the holographic dark energy model with interaction between dark energy and dark matter, from the statefinder viewpoint. We plot the trajectories of the interacting holographic dark energy model for different interaction cases as well as for different values of the parameter c in the statefinder-plane. The statefinder diagrams characterize the properties of the holo...
متن کاملConstraints on holographic dark energy from Type Ia supernova observations
In this paper, we use the Type Ia supernovae data to constrain the holographic dark energy model proposed by Li. We also apply a cosmic age test to this analysis. We consider in this paper a spatially flat FRW universe with matter component and holographic dark energy component. The fit result shows that the case c < 1 is favored, which implies that the holographic dark energy behaves as a quin...
متن کاملAnthropic Principle Favors the Holographic Dark Energy
We discuss the anthropic principle when applied to the holographic dark energy. We find that if the amplitude of the density fluctution is variable, the holographic dark energy fares better than the cosmological constant.
متن کاملInflation with Holographic Dark Energy
We investigate the corrections of the holographic dark energy to inflation paradigm. We study the evolution of the holographic dark energy in the inflationary universe in detail, and carry out a model-independent analysis on the holographic dark energy corrections to the primordial scalar power spectrum. It turns out that the corrections generically make the spectrum redder. To be consistent wi...
