Douglas J. Shaw, John D. Barrow
TL;DR
This paper extends a model of varying electroweak couplings to include quantum corrections, deriving effective equations for dilaton evolution in a cosmological context with dark matter components.
Contribution
It introduces quantum corrections into the electroweak coupling variation model and derives new evolution equations considering dark matter effects.
Findings
Quantum corrections modify the dilaton evolution equations.
Effective equations account for non-relativistic dark matter.
Model advances understanding of electroweak coupling variations in cosmology.
Abstract
We extend the theory of Kimberly and Magueijo for the spacetime variation of the electroweak couplings in the unified Glashow-Salam-Weinberg model of the electroweak interaction to include quantum corrections. We derive the effective quantum-corrected dilaton evolution equations in the presence of a background cosmological matter density that is composed of weakly interacting and non-weakly-interacting non-relativistic dark-matter components.
