Implication

Theoretical analysis uncovers dark matter and dark energy dynamics in spacetime curvature through Higgs vacuum elasticity, suggesting a viable alternative to the standard model.

Key Points

Formalize and evaluate Higgs-Stiffness Gravity, a framework proposing that the dark sector originates from the tensorial elastic response of the Higgs condensate to spacetime curvature.
Constructed a gauge-invariant, ghost-free theoretical action featuring a tensorial homeostatic constraint and a single free parameter.
Benchmarked model predictions against DESI DR1 and Euclid mock cosmological datasets using the Akaike Information Criterion.
Derived dark matter as a reinforced stiffening pole at high curvatures and dark energy as a stretch pole at low curvatures while preserving vacuum stability.
Achieved a moderate statistical preference over the standard Lambda-CDM cosmological model, demonstrating an Akaike Information Criterion improvement of Delta AIC = -1.8.
