Mass Profiles

We discuss the possibility that the cold dark matter mass profiles contain information on the cosmological constant [Formula: see text], and that such information constrains the nature of cold dark matter (CDM). We call this approach Modified Dark Matter (MDM). In particular, we examine the ability of MDM to explain the observed mass profiles of 13 galaxy clusters. Using general arguments from gravitational thermodynamics, we provide a theoretical justification for our MDM mass profile. In order to properly fit the shape of the mass profiles in galaxy clusters, we find it necessary to generalize the MDM mass profile from the one we used previously to fit galactic rotation curves. We successfully compare it to the NFW mass profiles both on cluster and galactic scales, though differences in form appear with the change in scales. Our results suggest that indeed the CDM mass profiles contain information about the cosmological constant in a nontrivial way.

Notoriously, the two main problems of the standard ΛCDM model of cosmology are the cosmological constant Λ and the cold dark matter, CDM. This essay shows that both the Λ and the CDM arise as integration constants in a careful derivation of Einstein’s equations from first principles in a Lorentz gauge theory. The dark sector of the universe might only reflect the geometry of a spontaneous symmetry breaking that is necessary for the existence of spacetime and an observer therein.

The Universe

In the same way as the realization of some of the famous gedanken experiments imagined by the founding fathers of quantum mechanics has recently led to the current renewal of the interpretation of quantum physics, it seems that the most recent progresses of observational astrophysics can be interpreted as the realization of some cosmological gedanken experiments such as the removal from the universe of the whole visible matter or the cosmic time travel leading to a new cosmological standard model. This standard model involves two dark components of the universe, dark energy and dark matter. Whereas dark energy is usually associated with the positive cosmological constant, we propose to explain dark matter as a pure QCD effect. This effect is due to the trace anomaly viewed as a negative cosmological constant accompanying baryonic matter at the hadronization transition from the quark gluon plasma phase to the colorless hadronic phase. Our approach not only yields a ratio Dark/Visible equal to 11/2 but also provides gluons and (anti-)quarks with an extra mass of vibrational nature. Currently observed dark matter is thus interpreted as a gluon Bose Einstein condensate that is a relic of the quark period. Such an interpretation would comfort the idea that, apart from the violation of the matter/antimatter symmetry satisfying the Sakharov’s conditions, the reconciliation of particle physics and cosmology needs not the recourse to any ad hoc fields, particles or hidden variables.

Additional Information

We developed the nonlocal model recently published by Maggiore and Mancarella by introducing a new function [Formula: see text]. This modification allows us to obtain a new analytical solution in the hyperbolic tangent form for the nonlocal distortion function. This model gives rise to an expansion history behaving exactly as [Formula: see text]CDM (Lambda Cold Dark Matter) with the same matter content, but without any need to neither cosmological constant nor dark energy. However, background evolution in our model and [Formula: see text]CDM are the same, but the results may be distinguishable in structure formation investigations or in light of new observations that probably contain additional information more than the background evolution.

The Universe

To explain the relative abundance of the dark energy and non-baryonic cold dark matter (74% and 22% respectively), making up 96% of the material content of the universe, it is proposed that space is filled with an equal amount of positive and negative mass particles, satisfying the average null energy condition, and with it the smallness of the cosmological constant. This assumption can explain the relative abundance of the dark energy and cold dark matter by the Madelung constant for the gravitationally-interacting positive and negative mass particles.

In this communication, a conformal coupling gravity is discussed in the presence of a complex Coleman-Weinberg potential which is generated from the contributions from 1st, 2nd and all higher order loops. A relation between the cosmological constant, the Hubble mass and the Higgs vacuum energy is obtained in particular when Weinberg/Landau gauge is used. Moreover, it was observed that the removal of the logarithmic mass boosts the scalar mass from Hubble mass of order 10<sup>−33 </sup>eV to 2.47× 10<sup>−3</sup>eV which is comparable to the mass of non-baryonic Cold Dark Matter or axion based on recent observations and which constitutes about 84% of all matter in the Universe.
