AbstractThe problem of the cosmological constant is considered in the formalism of an extended space-time consisting of the extended classical solution of Einstein equations. The different regions of the extended manifold are proposed to be related by the charge, parity, time and mass (CPTM) reversal symmetry applied with respect to the metric fields of the manifolds. There are interactions between the points of the extended manifold provided by scalar fields present separately in the different patches of the extended solution. The value of the constant is obtained equal to zero at the classical level due the mutual contribution of the fields in the vacuum energy, it’s non-zero value is due the quantum interactions between the fields. There are few possible scenario for the actions of the fields are discussed. Each from the obtained variants is similar to the closed time path approach of non-equilibrium condensed matter physics and among these possibilities for the closed paths, there is a variant of the action equivalent to the formalism of Keldysh. Accordingly, we consider and shortly discuss the application of the proposed formalism to the problem of smallness of the cosmological constant and singularities problem.

Dark energy is some of the weirdest and most mysterious stuff in the universe that tends to increase the rate of expansion of the universe. Two commonly known forms of dark energy are the cosmological constant, a constant energy density filling space homogeneously, and scalar fields such as quintessence or moduli whose energy density can vary with time. We explore one particular model for dynamic dark energy: quintessence driven by a scalar dilaton field. We propose an ansatz for the form of the dilaton field, |ϕ(a)|mP ≡ α1 ln t + α2tn = α ln a + βa2ζ, where a is the scale factor and α and ζ are parameters of the model. This phenomenological ansatz for ϕ can be motivated by generic solutions of a scalar dilaton field in many effective string theory and string-inspired gravity models in four dimensions. Most of the earlier discussions in the literature correspond to the choice that ζ = 0 so that ϕ(t) ∝ ln t or ϕ(t) ∝ ln a(t). Using a compilation of current data including type Ia supernovae, we impose observational constraints on the slope parameters like α and ζ and then discuss the relation of our results to analytical constraints on various cosmological parameters, including the dark energy equation of state. Some useful constraints are imposed on model parameters like α and ζ as well as on the dark energy/dark matter couplings using results from structure formation. The constraints of this model are shown to encompass the cosmological constant limit within 1σ error bars.

Starting with geometrical premises, we infer the existence of fundamental cosmological scalar fields. We then consider physically relevant situations in which spacetime metric is induced by one or, in general, by two scalar fields, in accord with the Papapetrou algorithm. The first of these fields, identified with dark energy (DE), has exceedingly small but finite (subquantum) Hubble mass scale ([Formula: see text] eV), and might be represented as a neutral superposition of quasi-static electric fields. The second field is identified with dark matter (DM) as an effectively scalar conglomerate composed of primordial neutrinos and antineutrinos in a special tachyonic state.

First, we review some attempts made to find the exact spherically symmetric solutions to Einstein field equations in the presence of scalar fields. Wyman's solution in both the static and the nonstatic scalar field is discussed, and it is shown why in the case of the nonstatic homogenous matter field the static metric cannot be represented in terms of elementary functions. We mention here that if the space–time is static, according to field equations, there are two options for fixing the scalar field: static (time-independent) and nonstatic (time-dependent). All these solutions are limited to the minimally coupled massless scalar fields and also in the absence of the cosmological constant. Then we show that if we are interested to have homogenous isotropic scalar field matter, we can construct a series solution in terms of the scalar field's mass and cosmological constant. This solution is static and possesses a locally flat case as a special choice of the mass of the scalar field and can be interpreted as an effective vacuum. Therefore, the mass of the scalar field eliminates any locally gravitational effect as tidal forces. Finally, we describe why this system is unstable in the language of dynamical systems.

We investigate the presence of massless scalar fields in a Kaluza—Klein theory based on a dimensionally continued Euler-form action. We show that massless scalar fields exist provided that the internal space is a direct product of two irreducible manifolds. The condition of a vanishing effective four-dimensional cosmological constant and the presence of a graviton, gauge fields and massless scalar fields can be satisfied if both irreducible manifolds have odd dimensions and the sum of these dimensions is equal to the dimension of the Euler form.
