Entropy bounds render quantum corrections to the cosmological constant $Λ$ finite. Under certain assumptions, the natural value of $Λ$ is of order the observed dark energy density $∼ 10^-10 eV^4$, thereby resolving the cosmological constant problem. We note that the dark energy equation of state in these scenarios is $w ≡ p / ρ = 0$ over cosmological distances, and is strongly disfavored by observational data. Alternatively, $Λ$ in these scenarios might account for the diffuse dark matter component of the cosmological energy density.
The title of this 2008 journal article suggests entropy bounds are part of the formula for dark matter. The author is associated with the California Institute of Technology and the work for this journal article was supported in part under a Department of Education contract. The idea proposed, rather than hypothesis, is that entropy bounds provide the needed corrections to the cosmological constant to address its shortcomings. The methodology is in narrative form and presents various mathematical formulas supporting entropy bounds. Rather than using the scientific process, this piece is an explanation in support of entropy bounds and cosmological constant. No conclusion was included. This journal article will be helpful in our dark energy project because we will are looking at cosmological constant and this journal article addresses the gaps and shortcomings within it.
