Possible Connection between Dark Energy and Electromagnetic Interactions    [PDF]

Metin Arik, N. Katirci
We investigate a model where dark energy is caused by the photon ?eld coupling to gravitation. The cosmological background expectation value of the electromagnetic scalar potential generates the Planck mass as well as causing an exponential expansion which is identi?ed with dark energy. The Higgs-like mechanism for the vector potential predicts the photon mass to be exactly zero.
