1. 1. Cosmological Implications of the Quantum SU(2) Yang-Mills Fields

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Teoretisk partikelfysik - Geonomgår omorganisation; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för astronomi och teoretisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation

   Author : Emil Boman; [2019]
   Keywords : Cosmic Inflation; Yang-Mills; SU 2 gauge fields; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : We study the key properties of the quantum SU(2) Yang-Mills ground state and its possible role in the early Universe, in particular, as a driver of Cosmic Inflation. Using the effective action approach and separating the Yang-Mills field potential into homogeneous (condensate) and inhomogeneous (fluctuations) components, we reproduce the conformal-time solutions for the two different types of the Yang-Mills condensate in the minimum of the effective Lagrangian for generic initial conditions.

3. 2. Yang-Mills driven Cosmic Expansion

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Teoretisk partikelfysik - Geonomgår omorganisation; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för astronomi och teoretisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation

   Author : Jimmy Ljungberg; [2016]
   Keywords : Cosmic Inflation; Dark Energy; Yang-Mills; SU 2 gauge fields; Perturbations; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : This thesis will investigate the possibility to have SU(2) gauge fields as the source to the Cosmic Inflation and/or to the Dark Energy. It will be explained that, under certain conditions, the Universe can be filled with vector fields without violating its isotropy. Those conditions are naturally fulfilled within the SU(2) gauge theory. READ MORE
