The Causet Mechanism for the Creation of Energy

TL;DR

This paper extends Sorkin's causet mechanism to incorporate energy exchange with vacuum fluctuations, explaining dark energy as a remnant of inflation and applying the approach to black hole evaporation.

Contribution

It generalizes the causet mechanism to include energy exchange with vacuum fluctuations, linking inflation, dark energy, and black hole evaporation.

Findings

Dark energy as a fluctuating remnant of inflation

Applicability of the causet mechanism to black hole evaporation

Extension of causet mechanism to include energy exchange with vacuum fluctuations

Abstract

Sorkin's causet mechanism is generalized to include energy exchange between causet elements and conventional vacuum fluctuations to the inflationary epoch. In this, the dark energy of the adiabatic era is the fluctuating remnant of inflation. The mechanism is also applicable to black hole evaporation.
