Dark Energy Stars and the Cosmic Microwave Background

TL;DR

This paper proposes that the early universe's initial vacuum energy state fragmented into dark energy stars and radiation, offering explanations for dark matter density and CMB fluctuations, with predictions on dark matter clumping scales.

Contribution

It introduces a novel scenario where quantum critical fluctuations lead to dark energy star formation, explaining dark matter and CMB features.

Findings

Dark matter density explained by dark energy star formation

CMB temperature fluctuations accounted for by this scenario

Dark matter predicted to be clumped on ~10^3 solar mass scales

Abstract

An initial state for the observable universe consisting of a finite region with a large vacuum energy will break-up due to near horizon quantum critical fluctuations. This will lead to a Friedmann-like early universe consisting of an expanding cloud of dark energy stars and radiation. In this note we point out that this scenario provides a simple explanation for the present day density of dark matter as well as the level of CMB temperature flucuations. It is also predicted that all dark matter will be clumped on mass scales ~ 10E3 solar masses.
