The inhomogeneous equation of state and the road towards the solution of the cosmological constant problem

چکیده

We present a cosmological model containing a cosmological constant Λ and a component with an inhomogeneous equation of state. We study the form of the inhomogeneous equation of state for which the model exhibits the relaxation of the cosmological constant, i.e. it asymptotically tends to the de Sitter regime characterized by a small positive effective cosmological constant. The effect of the relaxation of the cosmological constant is observed both for negative and positive values of Λ and for a range of model parameters. A special emphasis is put on the study of the details of the CC relaxation mechanism and the robustness of the mechanism to the variation of model parameters. It is found that within the studied model the effective cosmological constant at large scale factor values is small because the absolute value of the real cosmological constant is large.

 In Wesson's canonical model, the universe is assumed to be five dimensional (5D) empty space time. This model corresponds to a solution of the Einstein field equation in five dimensions which, from a four dimensional point of view, is equivalent to a universe with a positive cosmological constant. In this model, the fifth direction is perpendicular to the four dimensional space time and is not...
