A Unified picture of Dark Matter and Dark Energy from Invisible QCD

Understand

It has been shown in a companion paper that the late time acceleration of the universe can be accounted for by an extension of the QCD color to a $SU(3)$ invisible sector (IQCD).

• In this work we discuss a unified framework such the scale of dark chiral-breaking dictates both the accelerated expansion of the universe, and the origin of dark matter.
• We find that the strong and gravitational dynamics of dark quarks and gluons evolve to eventually form exotic dark stars.
• We discuss the dynamical complexity of these dark compact objects in light of dark big bang nucleosynthesis.
