Gauge Quintessence
We discuss a new model of quintessence in which the quintessence field is identified with the extra-component of a gauge field in a compactified five-dimensional theory. We show that the extremely tiny energy scale \(\sim (3\times 10^{-3} eV)^4\) needed to account for the present acceleration of the...

| Zusammenfassung: | We discuss a new model of quintessence in which the quintessence field is identified with the extra-component of a gauge field in a compactified five-dimensional theory. We show that the extremely tiny energy scale \(\sim (3\times 10^{-3} eV)^4\) needed to account for the present acceleration of the Universe can be naturally explained in terms of high energy scales such as the scale of Grand Unification. |
