Black Hole Genesis and origin of cosmic acceleration

TL;DR

This paper proposes that the universe's origin and cosmic acceleration are linked to a white hole boundary of a black hole in another universe, with nonmetricity effects mimicking a cosmological constant.

Contribution

It introduces a novel model connecting black hole boundaries to universe genesis and cosmic acceleration using a metric-affine gravity framework with nonmetricity effects.

Findings

White hole boundary can produce a positive cosmological constant.

Deviation from geodesic motion depends on white hole's four-velocity.

The model suggests observable effects on galactic scales.

Abstract

We consider a hypothesis that the closed Universe was formed on the other side of the event horizon of a black hole existing in another universe. That black hole appears in the Universe as a boundary white hole, and its rest frame in comoving coordinates is a frame of reference in which the cosmic microwave background is isotropic. We consider the Lagrangian density for the gravitational field that is proportional to the curvature scalar, and use the metric-affine variational principle in which the symmetric affine connection and the metric tensor are variables. The white hole appears in the Lagrangian through a simplest, generally covariant and linear term: the four-divergence of the four-velocity of the white hole in comoving coordinates. We show that the variation of the action with respect to the connection generates the nonmetricity, which creates a term in the Lagrangian that is equivalent to a positive cosmological constant. The current cosmic acceleration may therefore be a manifestation of the boundary of the closed Universe. We also show that the equation of motion of a test particle deviates from the geodesic equation by a term that depends on the four-velocities of the particle and the white hole. The rest frame of the white hole in comoving coordinates is the only absolutely inertial frame of reference. This deviation might be observed on galactic scales.
