摘要
En 中文
In view of the recent measurement of H-0 from the Hubble Space Telescope and Supernova H0 for the Equation of State (SH0ES) team, we explore the possibility of existence of a negative cosmological constant [anti-de Sitter (AdS) vacua in the dark energy sector] in the Universe. In this regard, we consider quintessence fields on top of a negative cosmological constant and compare such construction with Lambda cold dark matter (Lambda CDM) model using a different combination of cosmic microwave background, Type Ia supernova, baryon acoustic oscillation, and H-0 data. Various model comparison estimators show that quintessence models with a negative Lambda are either preferred over Lambda CDM or perform equally as the Lambda CDM model. This suggests that the presence of a negative Lambda (AdS ground state) in our Universe, which can naturally arise in string theory, is consistent with cosmological observations.
