Dark energy as generalised superfluid excitations

Abstract: In this paper we present a generic form of the cosmological Equation of State derived from the formalism of Statistical Mechanics, assuming that a cosmic acceleration scenario can be interpreted as a system of quasi-particles. By considering a generalised superfluidity approach, in which the energy spectrum can be modulated via a parameter $s$, a negative equation of state arises as excitations associated with an \textit{exotic} superfluid system. We show that for $s\sim 0.293$, $w\simeq-1$, which can be related to the standard equation of state for the $\Lambda$CDM model.
