Interesting Possibility

In an effective field theory model with an ultraviolet momentum cutoff, there is a relation between the effective equation-of-state of dark energy and the ultraviolet cutoff scale. It implies that a measure of the equation of state of dark energy different from minus one, ω ≠ -1, does not rule out vacuum energy as dark energy. It also indicates an interesting possibility that precise measurements of the infrared properties of dark energy can be used to probe the ultraviolet cutoff scale of effective quantum field theory coupled to gravity. In a toy model with a vacuum energy-dominated universe with a Planck scale cutoff, the dark energy effective equation of state is w eff ≈ -0.96.

Dominant Part

We study physics concerning the cosmological constant problem in the framework of effective field theory and suggest that a dominant part of dark energy can originate from gravitational corrections of vacuum energy, under the assumption that the classical gravitational fields do not couple to a large portion of the vacuum energy effectively, in spite of the coupling between graviton and matters at a microscopic level. Our speculation is excellent with terascale supersymmetry.

Friedmann Robertson Walker

A cosmological scenario where dark matter interacts with a variable vacuum energy for a spatially flat Friedmann–Robertson–Walker (FRW) spacetime is proposed and analyzed to show that with a linear equation of state and a particular interaction in the dark sector it is possible to get a model of an Emergent Universe. In addition, the viability of two particular models is studied by taking into account the recent observations. The updated observational Hubble data and the JLA supernovae data are used in order to constraint the cosmological parameters of the models and estimate the amount of dark energy in the radiation era. It is shown that the two models fulfil the severe bounds of [Formula: see text] at the 2[Formula: see text] level of Planck.

Effective Equation

We construct the non-canonical kinetic term of a k-essence field directly from the effective equation of state function wk(z), which describes the properties of the dark energy. Adopting the usual parametrizations of equation of state, we numerically reproduce the shape of the non-canonical kinetic term and discuss some features of the constructed form of k-essence.

We consider the agegraphic models of dark energy in a braneworld scenario with brane–bulk energy exchange. We assume that the adiabatic equation for the dark matter is satisfied while it is violated for the agegraphic dark energy due to the energy exchange between the brane and the bulk. Our study shows that with the brane–bulk interaction, the equation of state parameter of agegraphic dark energy on the brane, wD, can have a transition from the normal state, where wD > -1, to the phantom regime, where wD < -1, while the effective equation of state for dark energy always satisfies [Formula: see text].

Physical Scale

We point out a possible mechanism by which the electroweak hierarchy problem can be avoided in the low energy effective quantum field theory. Assuming the existence of a UV complete underlying fundamental theory and treating the cutoff scale Λ of the effective field theory as a real physical scale we argue that the hierarchy problem would be solved if the coefficient in front of quadratic divergences vanished at the scale Λ, and if the effective theory mass parameters fixed at Λ by the fundamental theory were hierarchically smaller than Λ itself. While this mechanism most probably cannot work in the Standard Model if the scale Λ is to be close to the Planck scale, we show that it can work in a minimal extension (Conformal Standard Model) proposed recently for a different implementation of conformal symmetry breaking.
