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 VV, which is associated with a preferred reference frame SVS_V for representing the vacuum energy, thus leading to the cosmological constant (Λ\Lambda). The equation of state (EOS) of vacuum energy for Λ\Lambda, i.e., ρΛ=ϵ=p\rho_{\Lambda}=\epsilon=-p emerges naturally from such space-time, where pp is the pressure and ρΛ=ϵ\rho_{\Lambda}=\epsilon is the vacuum energy density. With the aim of establishing a relationship between VV and Λ\Lambda in the modified metric of the space-time, we should consider a dark spherical universe with Hubble radius RHR_H, having a very low value of ϵ\epsilon 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 (Λ>0\Lambda>0). 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 Λ<<1\Lambda<<1 close to a flat space-time, which is in the ΛCDM\Lambda CDM scenario where the space is quasi-flat, so that Ωm+ΩΛ1\Omega_{m}+\Omega_{\Lambda}\approx 1. We have Ωcdm23%\Omega{cdm}\approx 23\% by representing dark cold matter, Ωm27%\Omega_m\approx 27\% for matter and ΩΛ73%\Omega_{\Lambda}\approx 73\% for the vacuum energy. Thus, the theory is adjusted for the redshift z=1z=1. This corresponds to the time τ0\tau_0 of transition between gravity and anti-gravity, leading to a slight acceleration of expansion related to a tiny value of Λ\Lambda, i.e., we find Λ0=1.934×1035s2\Lambda_0=1.934\times 10^{-35}s^{-2}. This result is in agreement with observations.
