Abstract

We revisit a non-perturbative formulation leading to a vacuum-created gravitational pair of \((3\bar {3})\)-brane by a Poincare dual higher form U(1) gauge theory on a D4-brane. In particular, the analysis has revealed a dynamical geometric torsion \(\mathcal {H}_{3}\) for an onshell Neveu-Schwarz (NS) form on a fat 4-brane. We argue that a D-instanton can be a viable candidate to incorporate the quintessence correction hidden to an emergent (3 + 1)-dimensional brane universe. It is shown that a dynamical non-perturbative correction may be realized with an axionic scalar QFT on an emergent anti-3-brane within a gravitational pair. The theoretical tool provokes thought to believe for an extra instantaneous dimension transverse to our classical brane-universe in an emergent scenario. Interestingly a D-instanton correction, sourced by an axion on an anti-3-brane, may serve as a potential candidate to explain the accelerated rate of expansion of our 3-brane universe and may provide a clue to the origin of dark energy.
