We propose a simple, renormalizable scenario in which all of dark energy arises from a one-loop Coleman–Weinberg potential induced by a scalar field Yukawa-coupled exclusively to Standard-Model neutrinos. Classically, $$V_{\min }=0$$ , but neutrino loops lift the vacuum by $$\rho _{\text {DE}}=\frac{y^{2}m_{\nu }^{6}}{512\pi ^{4}m_{\phi }^{2}}$$ , matching the observed dark energy scale for $$y\approx 0.28m_{\phi }/$$ eV and $$m_{\nu }\sim 0.1\,$$ eV. We detail cosmological tracking, demonstrate stability against neutrino clumping, and show that rapid scalar oscillations leave no detectable imprint on current neutrino-oscillation experiments—though they provide a clear target for future high-precision probes. Compared to other mass varying neutrino models, our framework employs only a renormalizable quadratic potential, avoids unnatural hierarchies, and makes concrete, testable predictions.

Quantum dark energy from neutrino loops: model, stability and oscillation imprints

To date, wormholes have not been observed. Dynamic wormholes are difficult to detect due to their transient existence or extremely low spacetime curvature contrast, while static wormholes rely on “exotic matter” that violates the Null Energy Condition and lack direct theoretical support. This study explores the mechanism of dynamic wormhole formation via gravitational collapse of Bose–Einstein Condensate (BEC) dark matter in generalized Vaidya spacetime. Under specific conditions, the gravitational collapse of BEC dark matter interacts with gravitational fields to trigger abrupt changes in spacetime topology. This process depends on special parameters that are more likely to be satisfied in extreme environments. During the collapse, the condensate properties of BEC influence the evolution of spacetime curvature, and its intrinsic oscillatory behavior may facilitate the formation of dynamic wormholes. The research deduces function constraints that satisfy various energy conditions, constructs a dynamic wormhole form adapted to generalized Vaidya spacetime, and derives the Hawking radiation expression and mass function constraints by combining Lorentz-breaking quantum gravity theory. This mechanism confirms the feasibility of dynamic wormhole formation, provides a new perspective for understanding the behavior of dark matter under extreme gravity and the evolution of spacetime topology, and advances wormhole research toward the analysis of dynamic formation processes.

Discussion on the feasibility of dynamic wormhole formation based on the gravitational collapse of Bose–Einstein condensed dark matter on generalized Vaidya space-time

We propose a unified model of dark energy and inflation through the Markov–Mukhanov modification of the Einstein–Hilbert action, where the matter sector is coupled to gravity via a scalar coupling function depending only on the energy density of the matter content. We assume that the coupling function encodes the UV corrections to the standard model of cosmology and we determine the form of the coupling that allows for the dark energy component to be dynamical and act as the inflaton field in the early universe. Interestingly we show that our model, in order to account for inflation, prefers a dark energy equation of state with $\textit{w}$ close but not equal to $$-1$$ in agreement with the latest DESI data.

In this paper, we investigate a digitised SU(2) lattice gauge theory in the Hamiltonian formalism. We use partitionings to digitise the gauge degrees of freedom and show how to define a penalty term based on finite element methods to project onto physical states of the system. Moreover, we show for a single plaquette system that in this framework the limit $$g\rightarrow 0$$ can be approached at constant cost.

We perform an analysis of the scalar sector of 3 Higgs Doublet Models with softly broken $$\Delta (54)$$ and $$\Sigma (36)$$ symmetries. We consider the various vacuum expectation value alignments and consider, for each, softly broken terms that deviate the alignment. We check the evolution of the minima, present analytical and numerical results for the lifting of the degeneracies of the physical eigenstates, and describe the decays of the states considering any residual symmetries.

The Regge–Gribov model of the pomeron and odderon in non-trivial transverse space is studied by the renormalization group technique in the single-loop approximation. The pomeron and odderon are taken to have different bare intercepts and slopes. The behaviour when the intercepts move from below to their critical values compatible with the Froissart limitation is studied. The singularities in the form of non-trivial branch points indicating a phase transition are found in the vicinity of five fixed points reported in a previous publication. Since new phases violate the projectile–target symmetry, the model is found non-physical for the bare intercepts above their critical value.

We find complete solutions of $\textit{S}$-matrix bootstrap equations for the scatterings of massless particles in (1+1) dimensions with $\textit{A}$ symmetries. We show that only three types (minimal, diagonal, and saturated cases) of these $\textit{S}$-matrices can generate RG flows that lead to UV-complete theories, and other RG flows predicted in [11] are inconsistent with the bootstrap equations. Using these $\textit{S}$-matrices, we derived the TBA equations and corresponding $\textit{Y}$-systems that generate the RG flows between the IR and UV CFTs.

It is commonly believed that a unitary supersymmetric quantum field theory (QFT) involving graviton and gravitino fields on fixed 4-dimensional de Sitter spacetime ($\textit{dS}$ ) cannot exist due to known challenges associated with supersymmetry (SUSY) in $\textit{dS}$ . In this paper, we contradict this expectation by presenting a new unitary supersymmetric QFT on $\textit{dS}$ : the free supersymmetric theory of the chiral graviton and chiral gravitino fields. By chiral we mean that the corresponding field strengths are anti-self-dual, and the gauge potentials are complex, each carrying a single complex propagating degree of freedom. The global SUSY transformations are generated by the standard Dirac Killing spinors of $\textit{dS}$ . The theory overcomes the known obstacles to unitary global SUSY on $\textit{dS}$ by closing the commutator between two SUSY transformations on $\textit{so}$(4, 2) ⊕ $\textit{u}$(1) rather than the de Sitter algebra $\textit{so}$(4, 1). Crucially, the $\textit{so}$(4, 2) symmetry is realised through unconventional conformal-like transformations. This free theory cannot become interacting while preserving SUSY in a way that makes the spin-2 sector the true graviton sector of General Relativity, as the three-graviton coupling cannot be $\textit{u}$(1)-invariant.

Given that dark matter and normal matter are nontrivially unified in a grand unified theory, called dark grand unification, we derive novel residual theories at low energy explaining dark matter and neutrino mass. The first chain of which is $\textit{E}$ → SU(3) ⊗ SU(3) ⊗ SU(3) , which contains a matter parity by itself stabilizing a dark matter candidate and producing neutrino mass via a seesaw. The second chain is Trinification → SU(3) ⊗ SU(3) ⊗ U(1) ⊗ U(1) , which results in a novel family-universal 3-3-1-1 model, opposite to the normal 3-3-1-1 (or corresponding 3-3-1) model. Surprisingly, it is a variant of both minimal 3-3-1 model and 3-3-1 model with right-handed neutrinos since both $\textit{e}$ and $\textit{ν}$ are located at the bottoms of lepton triplets. Since this universal 3-3-1-1 model is properly embedded in the trinification, the above matter parity works governing dark matter stability as well as suppressing unwanted fermion mixings. Further, neutrino masses are naturally generated by a canonical seesaw combined with a scotogenic scheme.
