The Dark Energy Regulated by Emergent Conformal Symmetry

TL;DR

This paper proposes a mechanism where emergent conformal symmetry regulates dark energy, leading to deviations from standard cosmology and aligning with recent observational data.

Contribution

It introduces a novel conformal symmetry-based regulation mechanism for dark energy, resulting in modified cosmological equations and specific observational predictions.

Findings

Dark energy density is about 1/4 of matter density today

The jerk parameter is predicted as 0.47

Deviations from Friedmann equations are significant in late-time cosmology

Abstract

We have found a mechanism which regulates the dark energy in our universe. With an emergent conformal symmetry, the dark energy density is regulated to the order of a conformal anomaly parameter in the conformally coupled gravity. In the late time cosmological evolution, we have obtained a set of exact cosmological equations which deviate from the Friedmann equations significantly. Based on the recent observational cosmic expansion data, it is shown that the dark energy density is about 1/4 of the matter density at present, which is quite smaller than determined by General Relativity. The jerk parameter at present is also determined as a definite value 0.47.
