ELKO SPINOR MODEL WITH TORSION AND COSMOLOGY

초록

We investigate the cosmology of ELKO spinor model when minimal coupling with torsion is included. Unlike the Dirac spinor which interacts only with the totally anti-symmetric components of torsion tensor, we find the interaction of the time component of the trace of torsion tensor with ELKO spinor provides different aspects of cosmology with fermions. We discuss a couple of cases with given potentials of ELKO spinor which can result in interesting cosmological consequences. Especially, we show that there exists an exact cosmological solution in which the universe began its acceleration only recently and this solution is an attractor. This corresponds to specific forms of torsion and potential with a mild fine-tuning which can address the coincidence problem.
