Abstract
If neutrino mass is a function of the Higgs potential then minimum of the total thermodynamic potential (which is the Higgs potential minus the neutrino pressure) can shift from the standard electro-weak vev GeV by a small amount which depends on the neutrino pressure. If the neutrino mass is a very steep function of the Higgs field then the equilibrium thermodynamic potential can act like the dark energy with . Choosing the neutrino mass as logarithmic function of the Higgs field and a heavy mass scale, we find that the correct magnitude of the cosmological density of the present universe is obtained by choosing the heavy mass at the GUT scale.
