Vector Models for Dark Energy
نویسندگان
چکیده
We explore the possibility that the present stage of accelerated expansion of the universe is due to the presence of a cosmic vector field. We show that vector theories allow for the generation of an accelerated phase without the introduction of potential terms or unnatural scales in the Lagrangian. We propose a particular model with the same number of parameters as ΛCDM and excellent fits to SNIa data. The model is scaling during radiation era, with natural initial conditions, thus avoiding the cosmic coincidence problem. Upcoming observations will be able to clearly discriminate it from standard ΛCDM cosmology.

Dark energy in vector-tensor theories of gravity
We consider a general class of vector-tensor theories of gravity and show that solutions with accelerated expansion and a future type III singularity are a common feature in these models. We also show that there are only six vector-tensor theories with the same small scales behaviour as General Relativity and, in addition, only two of them can be made completely free from instabilities. Finally...
متن کاملOn Einstein - Weyl unified model of dark energy and dark matter
Here I give a more detailed account of the part of the conference report 1 that was devoted to reinterpreting the Einstein 'unified models of gravity and electromagnetism' (1923) as the unified theory of dark energy (cosmological constant) and dark matter (neutral massive vector particle having only gravitational interactions). After summarizing Einstein's work and related earlier work of Weyl ...
متن کاملPhantom energy from graded algebras
We construct a model of phantom energy using the graded Lie algebra SU(2/1). The negative kinetic energy of the phantom field emerges naturally from the graded Lie algebra, resulting in an equation of state with w < −1. The model also contains ordinary scalar fields and anti-commuting (Grassmann) vector fields which can be taken as two component dark matter. A potential term is generated for bo...
متن کاملVector Field Models of Inflation and Dark Energy
Vector field models of inflation and dark energy are investigated. We consider nonminimal couplings of the vectors both in the matter and in the gravity sector. The cosmological equations, allowing anisotropic background expansion, are then studied as a dynamical system. We show the general conditions for the existence of scaling solutions for spatial fields. A vector with an inverse power-law ...
متن کاملCarbon Monoxide Prediction in the Atmosphere of Tehran Using Developed Support Vector Machine
Air quality prediction is highly important in view of the health impacts caused by exposure to air pollutants in urban air. This work has presented a model based on support vector machine (SVM) technique to predict daily average carbon monoxide (CO) concentrations in the atmosphere of Tehran. Two types of SVM regression models, i.e. -SVM and -SVM techniques, were used to predict average daily C...
متن کاملFormation of Large Structures in the Acceleration Universe with a Hybrid Expansion Law
In the current paper, we have studied the effect of dark energy on for-mation where dark energy exists in the background. For this purpose, we used both WMAP9 and Planck data to study how the radius changes with redshift in these mod-els. We used different data sets to fix the cosmological parameters to obtain a solution for a spherical region under collapse. The mechanism of structure formation f...
