Recombination of H and He in Yang–Mills Gravity

Abstract: We investigate some aspects of the thermal history of the early universe according to Yang-Mills Gravity (YMG); a gauge theory of gravity set in flat spacetime. Specifically, equations for the ionization fractions of hydrogen and singly ionized helium during the recombination epoch are deduced analytically and then solved numerically. By considering several approximations we find that the presence of primordial helium and its interaction with Lyman series photons has a much stronger effect on the overall free … Show more

“…The conventional FLRW model of cosmology [8,9] was based on general relativity to discuss expansion dynamics of the universe. In quantum Yang-Mills grav-ity, the emergence of the effective metric tensor for the motion of macroscopic objects suggests that we can use Yang-Mills gravitational field equations to discuss an alternate dynamics for the expanding universe (i.e., a new HHK model of particle cosmology [10]).…”

“…In quantum electrodynamics, this can be pictured in the Feynman diagrams with two vertices connected by a photon propagator. The key properties of the electric force F e (e − , e − ) (i.e., between electron and electron) and the force F e (e − , e + ) (i.e., between electron and positron) are given by the third terms in (9) and in (10), i.e., and the force F e (e + , e + ) is the same as F e (e − , e − ). Thus, we have experimentally established attractive and repulsive electric forces, which are due to the presence of i in the electromagnetic coupling.…”

“…Exact CPT invariance in HHK model implies that the result (17) holds also for the antimatter half-universe. The value (17) appears to be reasonable because the cosmos expands slower in the HHK model than that in the Einstein-de Sitter or FLRW model, 12,13 so that it needs more time or larger t Y M o to reach its currents Hubble length…”

“…For comparison, the scale factor a(t) in the FLRW model is given by a(t) ∝ t 2/3 for matter dominated cosmos and a(t) ∝ t 1/2 for radiation dominated cosmos. 1 Thus, the results of Yang-Mills gravity in (11) and (12) lead to slower expansions than those based on GR and give a different age of the universe.…”
