Is Dark Energy From Cosmic Hawking Radiation?

Abstract: It is suggested that dark energy is the energy of the Hawking radiation from a cosmic horizon. Despite of its extremely low Gibbons-Hawking temperature, this radiation could have the appropriate magnitude O(M 2 P H 2 ) and the equation of state to explain the observed cosmological data if there is a Planck scale UV-cutoff, where H is the Hubble parameter.

“…If the element has a macroscopic size, the box should also be chosen to be macroscopic however dense the elements are. Examples are a scalar dark matter model [20,21] and the case of a cosmic Hawking radiation [22,23]. In these cases, the de Broglie wavelengths of the elements are long.…”

“…For an observer in an expanding universe there is a maximum volume that can be observed, since beyond the Hubble distance the velocity of recession is greater than the speed of light and the redshift is infinite: this is the Hubble volume. Its boundary is similar to the event horizon of a black hole [18] because it marks a boundary to what can be observed. This means that it is reasonable to assume that Hawking radiation is emitted at this boundary both outwards and inwards to conserve energy, and any wavelength that does not fit exactly within this size cannot be allowed for the inwards radiation, and therefore also for the outwards radiation.…”

“…During the preparation of this paper we be became aware of a publication entitled: "Is dark energy from cosmic Hawking radiation?" [27] that relates w = −1 dark energy to observerdependent Hawking radiation. However, those authors do not clearly specify which horizon they are referring to.…”
