Fantasia of a Superfluid Universe — In memory of Kerson Huang [CEA]

http://arxiv.org/abs/1612.01347


This article introduces Kerson Huang’s theory on superfluid universe in these aspects: I. choose the asymptotically free Halpern-Huang scalar field(s) to drive inflation; II. use quantum turbulence to create matter; III. consider dark energy as the energy density of the cosmic superfluid and dark matter the deviation of the superfluid density from its equilibrium value; IV. use quantum vorticity to explain phenomena such as the non-thermal filaments at the galactic center, the large voids in the galactic distribution, and the gravitational collapse of stars to fast-rotating blackholes.
