Dark Energy, Cosmological Constant and Neutrino Mixing
Abstract
We show that the today estimated value of dark energy can be achieved by the vacuum condensate induced by neutrino mixing phenomenon. The tiny value of dark energy is linked to the sub-eV neutrino mass scale. Contributions to dark energy from auxiliary fields or mechanisms are not necessary in this approach.
