A G_2G2-Holonomy Model for Late-Time Cosmic Acceleration in M-theory: Alleviating the Hubble Tension through Geometric Vacuum Energy
arXiv:2505.06654
Abstract
A framework is developed within an eleven-dimensional M-theory scenario where dynamical geometric moduli, originating from a -holonomy compactification, generate an evolving cosmological term, . This ``Geometric Vacuum Energy'' (GVE) is shown to be consistent across both cosmological and astrophysical scales. We demonstrate that a natural attractor solution alleviates the Hubble tension, yielding an inferred and a suppressed structure growth parameter , while remaining in excellent agreement with cosmic chronometer data (). Its predictions in the strong-gravity regime profoundly strengthen the framework's self-consistency. We show that this model supports stable, hairy black hole solutions whose existence conditions are congruent with the cosmological attractor (). Furthermore, these objects exhibit a rich, falsifiable phenomenology, including (i) the definitive breaking of isospectrality in their gravitational-wave quasi-normal modes, (ii) a suppressed Integrated Sachs-Wolfe effect, and (iii) unique thermodynamic and electromagnetic accretion signatures. These interconnected findings highlight a pathway where a single, theoretically-motivated framework can naturally reconcile multiple observational puzzles.
This version is withdrawn due to a fundamental revision of the geometric moduli stabilization parameters. The author has developed a more rigorous first-principles derivation from G2-holonomy manifolds that renders the phenomenological assumptions in this early version obsolete
