Spontaneous Color Polarization as A Modus Originis of the Dynamic Aether

Abstract

<jats:p>We suggest the phenomenological model of emergence of the dynamic aether as a result of decay of the SU(N) symmetric field configuration containing the multiplet of vector fields. The scenario of the transition to the dynamic aether, which is characterized by one unit timelike vector field that is associated with the aether velocity, is based on the idea of spontaneous color polarization analogous to the spontaneous electric polarization in ferroelectric materials. The mechanism of spontaneous color polarization is described in the framework of anisotropic cosmological model of the Bianchi-I type; it involves consideration of the idea of critical behavior of the eigenvalues of the tensor of color polarization in the course of the Universe accelerated expansion. The interim stage of transition from the color aether to the canonic dynamic aether takes the finite period of time, the duration of which is predetermined by the phenomenologically introduced critical value of the expansion scalar.</jats:p>

Einstein-Yang-Mills-aether theory with nonlinear axion field: Decay of color aether and the axionic dark matter production

“…In the work [28] we presented our version of the model of the color aether decay, and of the transformation of the color aether into the canonic dynamic aether. The main idea is that a spontaneous color polarization took place, and the fields U j(a) happened to be parallel to one another in the group space.…”

“…k U j(c) guarantees the theory to possess the SU(N) invariance, on the one hand, and provides the gauge field to become the inherent element of the theory, on the other hand. Thus, one can consider the following scenario of the axion production... Let us imagine that in the early Universe we deal with the SU(N) symmetric multiplet of vector fields indicated in the works [27,28] as the SU(N) symmetric dynamic aether, or the color aether, for short. The model of the color aether is considered to be a SU(N) extension of the model of the dynamic aether, introduced by Jacobson with colleagues (see, e.g., [29][30][31][32][33]; this color aether converts into the dynamic aether due to the spontaneous color polarization [28].…”

So if the gauge field, associated with the color aether, interacts with the pseudoscalar field, we could obtain the axion production, and these relic axions could form now the axionic dark matter.…”

Interaction of the axionic dark matter, dynamic aether, spinor and gravity fields as an origin of oscillations of the fermion effective mass

“…We assume here that these gauge U (1) and SU (N ) symmetric fields are vanishing, and thus, the extended derivative of the Dirac spinor field does not contain the corresponding potentials. The problem is that there exists the aether-like representation of the gauge field [50,51], and the question arises: whether the aether velocity four-vector U k or its SU(N) generalizations U k (a) (see, e.g., [52]) can play the role of the gauge potential? We assume that this question is still open, but in this work we follow the classic non-gauge invariant version of the dynamic aether.…”
