2-loop Quantum Yang-Mills Condensate as Dark Energy

Astrophysics 2008-11-26 v1

Abstract

In seeking a model solving the coincidence problem, the effective Yang-Mills condensate (YMC) is an alternative candidate for dark energy. A study is made for the model up to the 2-loop order of quantum corrections. It is found that, like in the 1-loop model, for generic initial conditions during the radiation era, there is always a desired tracking solution, yielding the current status ΩΛ0.73\Omega_\Lambda \simeq 0.73 and Ωm0.27\Omega_m \simeq 0.27. As the time tt\to \infty the dynamics is a stable attractor. Thus the model naturally solves the coincidence problem of dark energy. Moreover, if YMC decays into matter, its equation of state (EoS) crosses -1 and takes w1.1w\sim -1.1, as indicated by the recent observations.
