Abstract

Suppose that the early Universe starts with a quantum spacetime originated cosmological Λ\Lambda-term at the Planck scale MplM_{\rm pl}. The cosmological energy density ρΛ\rho_{_{_\Lambda}} drives inflation and simultaneously reduces its value to create the matter-energy density ρM\rho_{_{_M}} via the continuous pair productions of massive fermions and antifermions. The decreasing ρΛ\rho_{_{_\Lambda}} and increasing ρM\rho_{_{_M}}, in turn, slows down the inflation to its end when the pair production rate ΓM\Gamma_M is larger than the Hubble rate HH. The density ρΛ\rho_{_{_\Lambda}} and Hubble rate HH are uniquely determined by two independent equations from the Einstein equation and energy conservation law, besides the ρM\rho_{_{_M}} is determined by pair productions. As a result, inflation naturally appears and theoretical results agree with Planck 2018 observations. Suppose that the reheating efficiently converts ρΛ\rho_{_{_\Lambda}} to ρMρΛ\rho_{_{_M}}\gg \rho_{_{_\Lambda}} accounting for the most relevant Universe mass, and some massive pairs decay to relativistic particles of energy density ρR\rho_{_{_R}} starting the hot Big Bang. The back reaction ρMHρΛ\rho_{_{_M}}\leftrightarrow H\leftrightarrow \rho_{_{_\Lambda}} is weak but continues. As a consequence, ρΛ\rho_{_\Lambda} closely tracks down ρR\rho_{_R} from the reheating end up to the radiation-matter equilibrium, then it varies very slowly, ρΛ\rho_{_\Lambda}\propto constant, due to the transition from radiation dominant epoch to matter dominant epoch. Therefore the cosmic coincidence problem can be possibly avoided.

Comments

We add discussions on the non-exponentially suppressed number density of massive pairs produced nonadiabatically, in connection with the pioneering work by Chung, Kolb and Riotto, Phys. Rev. D 59, 023501 (1998), arXiv:hep-ph/980223
