A brief review of a modified relativity that explains cosmological constant
Abstract
The present review aims to show that a modified space-time with an invariant minimum speed provides a relation with Weyl geometry in the Newtonian approximation of weak-field. The deformed Special Relativity so-called Symmetrical Special Relativity (SSR) has an invariant minimum speed , which is associated with a preferred reference frame for representing the vacuum energy, thus leading to the cosmological constant (). The equation of state (EOS) of vacuum energy for , i.e., emerges naturally from such space-time, where is the pressure and is the vacuum energy density. With the aim of establishing a relationship between and in the modified metric of the space-time, we should consider a dark spherical universe with Hubble radius , having a very low value of that governs the accelerated expansion of universe. In doing this, we aim to show that SSR-metric has an equivalence with a de-Sitter (dS)-metric (). On the other hand, according to the Boomerang experiment that reveals a slightly accelerated expansion of the universe, SSR leads to a dS-metric with an approximation for close to a flat space-time, which is in the scenario where the space is quasi-flat, so that . We have by representing dark cold matter, for matter and for the vacuum energy. Thus, the theory is adjusted for the redshift . This corresponds to the time of transition between gravity and anti-gravity, leading to a slight acceleration of expansion related to a tiny value of , i.e., we find . This result is in agreement with observations.
