Role of the Brans-Dicke scalar in the holographic description of dark energy

چکیده
We study cosmological application of the holographic energy density in the Brans-Dicke theory. Considering the holographic energy density as a dynamical cosmological constant, it is more natural to study it in the Brans-Dicke theory than in general relativity. Solving the Friedmann and Brans-Dicke field equations numerically, we clarify the role of Brans-Dicke field during evolution of the universe. When the Hubble horizon is taken as the IR cutoff, the equation of state (wΛ) for the holographic energy density is determined to be 5 3 when the Brans-Dicke parameter ω goes infinity. This means that the BransDicke field plays a crucial role in determining the equation of state. For the particle horizon IR cutoff, the Brans-Dicke scalar mediates a transition from wΛ = −1/3 (past) to wΛ = 1/3 (future). If a dust matter is present, it determines future equation of state. In the case of future event horizon cutoff, the role of the Brans-Dicke scalar and dust matter are turned out to be trivial, whereas the holographic energy density plays an important role as a dark energy candidate with wΛ = −1.

Holographic energy density in the Brans-Dicke theory
We study cosmological applications of the holographic energy density. Considering the holographic energy density as a dynamical cosmological constant, we need the Brans-Dicke theory as a dynamical framework instead of general relativity. In this case we use the Bianchi identity as a consistency relation to obtain physical solutions. It is shown that the future event horizon as the IR cutoff pro...
متن کاملThe holographic dark energy in non - flat Brans - Dicke cosmology
In this paper we study cosmological application of holographic dark energy density in the Brans-Dicke framwork. We employ the holographic model of dark energy to obtain the equation of state for the holographic energy density in non-flat (closed) universe enclosed by the event horizon measured from the sphere of horizon named L. Our calculation show, taking Ω Λ = 0.73 for the present time, the ...
متن کاملAn interacting scalar field and the recent cosmic acceleration
In this paper it is shown that the Brans Dicke scalar field itself can serve the purpose of providing an early deceleration and a late time acceleration of the universe without any need of quintessence field if one considers an interaction, i.e, transfer of energy between the dark matter and the Brans Dicke scalar field.
متن کاملThe Cosmological Constant and Pioneer Anomaly from Weyl Spacetimes and Mach’s Principle
It is shown how Weyl’s geometry and Mach’s Holographic principle furnishes both the magnitude and sign (towards the sun) of the Pioneer anomalous acceleration aP ∼ −c/RHubble firstly observed by Anderson et al. Weyl’s Geometry can account for both the origins and the value of the observed vacuum energy density (dark energy). The source of dark energy is just the dilaton-like Jordan-Brans-Dicke ...
متن کاملCosmological implications of a supersymmetric extension of the Brans-Dicke theory
In the Brans-Dicke theory the Planck mass is replaced by a dynamical scalar field. We consider here the supersymmetric analogous of this mechanism replacing in the supergravity Lagrangian the Planck mass with a chiral superfield. This analysis is motivated by the research of possible connections between supersymmetric Dark Matter scenarios and Dark Energy models based on Brans-Dicke-like theori...
