Emergent gravity and Dark Energy

TL;DR

This paper discusses the concept of emergent gravity as a potential explanation for dark energy, exploring how gravity might arise from more fundamental microscopic phenomena to account for the universe's accelerated expansion.

Contribution

It introduces the idea that gravity's emergent nature could provide a novel explanation for dark energy, contrasting with traditional cosmological models.

Findings

Emergent gravity offers a viable alternative to dark energy models.

The approach suggests gravity arises from microscopic degrees of freedom.

Implications for cosmology and fundamental physics are discussed.

Abstract

This is an invited contribution to be included in a multi-authored book on "Dark Energy", to be edited by Pilar Ruiz-Lapuente and published by Cambridge University Press.
