A relation between diffusion,temperature and the cosmological constant

Abstract

We show that the temperature of a diffusing fluid with the diffusion constant \kappa^{2} in an expanding universe approaches a constant limit T=\kappa^{2}/H in its final de Sitter stage characterized by the horizon 1/H determined by the Hubble constant. If de Sitter surface temperature in the final equilibrium state coincides with the fluid temperature then the cosmological constant \Lambda=3H^{2}=6\pi\kappa^{2}.
