The de Broglie universal substratum, the Lochak monopoles and the dark universe

TL;DR

This paper proposes a novel interpretation of dark matter and dark energy as emerging from the quantum vacuum, aligning quantum field theory with cosmological observations and suggesting dark matter as a Bose-Einstein gluon condensate.

Contribution

It introduces a new theoretical framework linking the quantum vacuum to dark universe phenomena, incorporating de Broglie's universal substratum and Lochak monopoles.

Findings

Dark matter can be modeled as a Bose-Einstein gluon condensate.

The energy density of this condensate aligns with observational data.

The interpretation unifies quantum vacuum theory with dark universe evidence.

Abstract

We propose to interpret the dark universe (dark matter and dark energy) of the current cosmological standard model as emerging together with ordinary matter, from the quantum vacuum, which de Broglie called the "universal substratum". It will be shown that this interpretation may lead to a reasonable agreement between the current understanding of the quantum vacuum in quantum field theory and current evidences for the existence of dark energy and dark matter, and that dark matter can be interpreted as emerging from the QCD vacuum, as a Bose-Einstein gluon condensate, with an energy density relative to the baryonic energy density that agrees with observation.
