Dark matter and dark energy from quark bag model

Abstract

We calculate the present expansion of our Universe endowed with relict\ncolored objects - quarks and gluons - that survived hadronization either as\nisolated islands of quark-gluon "nuggets", or spread uniformly in the Universe.\nIn the first scenario, the QNs can play the role of dark matter. In the second\nscenario, we demonstrate that uniform colored objects can play the role of dark\nenergy providing the late-time accelerating expansion of the Universe.\n
