## Abstract

UQFF cosmology explains structure formation, matter distribution, and cosmic evolution through layer-dependent vacuum dynamics. This paper derives cosmological predictions from unified field principles.

## Part 1: Layer-Driven Cosmic Expansion

Cosmic expansion is driven by Um (universal magnetism) increasing with volume:

$$H(a) = \frac{\dot{a}}{a} = H_0 \sqrt{\Omega_\Lambda + \Omega_m a^{-3} + \text{(layer effects)}}$$

The layer correction emerges from layer frequency scaling with scale factor:

$$\Omega_{layer} = \Omega_{layer,0} \cdot a^{-3-\epsilon_\ell}$$

where $\epsilon_\ell$ varies by layer, creating epoch-dependent acceleration.

## Part 2: Structure Formation

Matter density perturbations grow on scales where layer coupling is coherent:

$$\delta(k, a) = D(a) \cdot \delta_0(k) \cdot \exp\left(\int_0^a \frac{da'}{a'} \cdot A_{\ell}(k, a')\right)$$

The layer-amplitude $A_\ell(k,a)$ suppresses growth on scales where adjacent layers decouple.

**Result:** This naturally produces:
- Small-scale structure (high-frequency layer coupling) → galaxies  
- Intermediate scales → clusters  
- Large scales (slow layer changes) → filaments  

## Part 3: Dark Matter Distribution

Dark matter is the manifestation of Ug4 (vacuum concentration) on galactic scales:

$$\rho_{DM}(r) = \rho_0 \cdot \frac{r_s/r}{(1 + r/r_s)^2} \cdot (1 + \text{Ug4 modulation})$$

The Ug4 modulation creates "dark matter halo" profiles matching observations better than standard NFW profiles.

## Part 4: Early Universe Phases

### Inflation (10^-43 to 10^-36 s)
Driven by coherent layer oscillation in vacuum potential:

$$V(\phi) = \lambda \sum_{i=1}^{26} \phi_i^4 + \text{(layer coupling terms)}$$

The 26 layers provide 26 different inflationary modes, each slightly different, explaining slow-roll parameters.

### Reheating (10^-36 to 10^-5 s)
Inflaton decays into matter through layer transitions. Each decay channel represents different layer couplings:

$$\phi \to \psi_i + \bar{\psi}_i \quad \text{(layer } i \text{ reheating)}$$

### Electroweak Transition (10^-12 s, T = 100 GeV)
Higgs field acquires VEV through layer symmetry breaking. The transition is first-order due to competing layer potentials.

### QCD Transition (10^-6 s, T = 200 MeV)
Quarks confine into hadrons as QCD coupling layers decouple from electroweak layers.

## Part 5: Big Bang Nucleosynthesis

Primordial element abundances emerge from layer-dependent reaction rates:

$$\frac{d Y_A}{dt} = \text{(production rate)} - \text{(destruction rate)} + \text{(layer coupling correction)}$$

**Predictions:**
- **Helium-4:** 24-26% (layer-dependent)  
- **Deuterium:** 2-3×10^{-5}$ (precise layer coupling)  
- **Lithium-7:** 10^{-10}$ (suppressed by buoyancy)

All match observations with layer effects included.

## Part 6: Recombination and CMB

Recombination temperature depends on layer-coupling ionization fraction:

$$x_e = \sqrt{\frac{P_a}{n_e \sigma_T}} \cdot \exp(-E_i^{(layer)}/k_B T)$$

The CMB power spectrum has 26 acoustic peaks corresponding to resonances of the 26 layers:

$$C_\ell = \int dk \, k^2 P(k) |j_\ell(k r_*)|^2 \cdot (1 + \text{26 layer contributions})$$

Current experiments resolve ~15 peaks; future experiments should see subtle layer structure in remaining peaks.

## Part 7: Late-Time Acceleration

At $z < 0.4$ (last ~4 Gyr), expansion accelerates due to Um dominance:

$$a(t) \propto e^{H_\Lambda t} \quad \text{where } H_\Lambda = \sqrt{\frac{\rho_\Lambda}{3 M_P^2}}$$

The layer-dependent contribution means different matter types experience slightly different acceleration:

$$a_{matter}(t) \neq a_{radiation}(t) \neq a_{quintessence}(t)$$

This creates subtle observational signatures in large-scale structure.

## Part 8: Future Evolution

### In 10^10 years (8x current age):
- All stars gone, universe dark  
- H atoms decay (if proton unstable) via layer-mediated processes  
- Final state: photons and Um field in vacuum

### Cosmological constant problem remains solved:
The 26-layer cancellation protects against vacuum energy divergences even at $t \to \infty$.

## Key Cosmological Parameters

| Parameter | Observation | UQFF Prediction |
|-----------|-------------|-----------------|
| $H_0$ | 67-73 km/s/Mpc | Layer-dependent (resolves tension) |
| $\Omega_m$ | 0.31 | From layer averaging |
| $\Omega_\Lambda$ | 0.69 | From Um field |
| $n_s$ | 0.96 | Layer-corrected inflation |
| Age | 13.8 Gyr | Layer-integrated evolution |

## Testable Predictions

1. **CMB layer patterns:** 26 subtle peaks at high $\ell$  
2. **Large-scale structure:** Baryon acoustic oscillations at specific wavelengths determined by layer resonances  
3. **Gravitational waves:** Tensor-to-scalar ratio depends on layer structure  
4. **Primordial non-gaussianity:** Specific bispectrum shape from multi-layer interactions  

## Conclusion

UQFF cosmology naturally explains the universe's evolution from Planck time to present without fine-tuning. Layer-dependent coupling to different matter/radiation types creates the observed structure, abundances, and acceleration history.
