We report on recent results according to which the vacuum condensate characterizing many physical systems can give contributions to dark energy and dark matter of the universe. In particular, it is shown that thermal states of the intercluster medium, the vacuum energy of fields in curved space-time and of mixed neutrinos contribute to the dark matter. The vacuum condensates generated by the mixing of axions and photons and the one produced by superpartners of neutrinos may represent a component of the dark energy.

Abstract
We report on recent results according to which the vacuum condensate characterizing many physical systems can give contributions to dark energy and dark matter of the universe. In particular, it is shown that thermal states of the intercluster medium, the vacuum energy of fields in curved space-time and of mixed neutrinos contribute to the dark matter. The vacuum condensates generated by the mixing of axions and photons and the one produced by superpartners of neutrinos may represent a component of the dark energy.File in questo prodotto:
