Dark Energy and Dark Matter in Emergent Gravity
We suggest that dark energy and dark matter may be a cosmic ouroboros of
quantum gravity due to the coherent vacuum structure of spacetime. We apply the
emergent gravity to a large matrix model by considering the vacuum in the
noncommutative (NC) Coulomb branch satisfying the Heisenberg algebra. We
observe that UV fluctuations in the NC Coulomb branch are always paired with IR
fluctuations and these UV/IR fluctuations can be extended to macroscopic
scales. We show that space-like fluctuations give rise to the repulsive
gravitational force while time-like fluctuations generate the attractive
gravitational force. When considering the fact that the fluctuations are random
in nature and we are living in the (3+1)-dimensional spacetime, the ratio of
the repulsive and attractive components will end in and this ratio curiously coincides with the dark composition
of our current Universe. If one includes ordinary matters which act as the
attractive force, the emergent gravity may explain the dark sector of our
Universe more precisely.Comment: v3; two appendices and references are added, 20 page
Lie algebra cohomology and group structure of gauge theories
We explicitly construct the adjoint operator of coboundary operator and
obtain the Hodge decomposition theorem and the Poincar\'e duality for the Lie
algebra cohomology of the infinite-dimensional gauge transformation group. We
show that the adjoint of the coboundary operator can be identified with the
BRST adjoint generator for the Lie algebra cohomology induced by
BRST generator . We also point out an interesting duality relation -
Poincar\'e duality - with respect to gauge anomalies and Wess-Zumino-Witten
topological terms. We consider the consistent embedding of the BRST adjoint
generator into the relativistic phase space and identify the
noncovariant symmetry recently discovered in QED with the BRST adjoint N\"other
charge .Comment: 24 pages, RevTex, Revised version submitted to J. Math. Phy
