We will discuss some newly found solutions to the full massless semiclassical Einstein equation (SCE) in a cosmological setting (with Λ=0).
After a short introduction to the relevant notions, we present the SCE in a particular shape which allows for the construction of certain vacuum states. These states may be viewed as the least possible generalization of the Minkowski vacuum to generic cosmological space-times. In this setting, solving the SCE breaks down into solving a certain ODE which can be approached numerically and, at least generically, we obtain solutions that well fit physical expectations. Moreover, these solutions indicate dark energy as a quantum effect back-reacting on cosmological metrics and, since in our model m=Λ=0, this may not be traced back to the usual, obvious dark-energy/cosmological constant effect of a quantum field. Also we will shortly address some related results obtained in our setting.
