Impossible Galaxies, the Hubble Tension and the Ricci soliton miracle,

TL;DR

This paper proposes that incorporating Ricci solitons into Einstein's equations can resolve key inconsistencies in the standard cosmological model, including the Hubble Tension and the unexpected presence of mature galaxies at high redshifts.

Contribution

The paper introduces a novel approach by integrating Ricci solitons sourced from gravitational energy into Einstein's equations to address cosmological tensions.

Findings

Ricci solitons help resolve the Hubble Tension.

Inclusion of Ricci solitons explains the existence of mature high-redshift galaxies.

The model aligns better with recent JWST and HST observations.

Abstract

The standard model of cosmology has begun to show signs of internal inconsistencies under the relentless onslaught of precision data from the James Webb Telescope (JWST), the Hubble Telescope (HST) and other space-based observation platforms as well as those from the ground. The most statistically significant tension, the so-called Hubble Tension currently stands at between 4 {\sigma} to 6 {\sigma} statistical significance. The JWST high resolution images reveal mature and sometimes quenched galaxies at high redshifts (z>6) which standard cosmological models have failed to both predict and explain. This is the impossible galaxies problem. These short comings of the standard model of cosmology have led to a plethora of new models attempting to explain the inconsistencies between theory and observation. Thus far, none of them adequately address these tensions. In this article, we demonstrate that by including a Ricci soliton into Einstein's field equations both tensions can be adequately resolved. The Ricci soliton is sourced from gravitational energy.
