Teleparallel Darkness

Abstract

First a review of Teleparallel theory is done with special emphasis in the derivation of conservation equations within this theory and in particular of energy-momentum conservation. Given that we are allowed to speak about the existence of negative energy, the question is that in its interaction with matter, we need not have matter conservation: It is only the sum of both which should remain constant. This does not only leads to an accelerated expansion without the need of a cosmological constant, but it may also contribute to explain the origin of dark matter, and poses questions about the origin of inflation at earlier times. The prediction of the proposed model can be qualitatively compared to recent results of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) analysis.
