The U(1) gauge invariance, i.e. δ
˜
K = 0, may be achieved
by the notion of a metric (fluctuation) sourced by the local
degrees in a geometric torsion. A priori the gauge invariance
of the curvature scalar

K seems to incorporate a condition on
the two form:

Nevertheless the perturbation gauge theory ensures an
infinitesimally small global (two form) mode coupling in
a geometric torsion (5) and hence the condition may be
ignored. Then the emerging notion of a metric underlying
a propagating geometric torsion in the non-perturbative cur-
vature formalism is given by

The symmetry under an interchange μ ↔ ν in the r.h.s.
ensures that the naive condition on a two form becomes
insignificant. Interestingly the emergent metric incorporates
the notion of space-time in the curvature scalar
˜
K and hence
justifies the open string effective metric arguably obtained in

It is remarkable to note that an effective space-time is vacuum
created on a pair of (D
¯
D)
3
-branes by a dynamical two form
in a U(1) gauge theory on a D
4
-brane. The vacuum refers to
a background black hole on a D
4
-brane which is well known
to be sourced by a global mode of a NS two form. Hence
a geometric torsion underlying the second order curvature
formalism is associated with a universe with a vacuum cre-
ated pair of (D
¯
D)
3
-branes. In fact, the dynamical space-time
without torsion in 4D has been argued to have begun at the
Big Bang singularity defined at a cosmological horizon in
a5D-brane world with torsion. It is noteworthy to remark
that the space-time curvature sourced by a geometric torsion
in 5D naturally incorporates an intrinsic angular momentum
on a vacuum created pair of (D
¯
D)
3
-branes. The world vol-
umes of a brane and an anti-brane are separated by an extra
fifth dimension transverse to each other. It may imply that
an observer in a D
3
-brane universe is inaccessible to an anti-
D
3
-brane universe or vice versa. Nevertheless the invisible
effect of an anti-D
3
-brane space-time is indeed compelling
on a 3-brane universe due to the hidden fifth dimension. Anal-
ysis may reveal that the brane universe geometry seems to be
influenced by a potential candidate for dark energy.
3.1 Quintessence
The CMB observations in cosmology ensure that the vac-
uum energy density is not a constant. The time variation
of the cosmological vacuum energy density in the early
epoch leading to a de Sitter geometry has been argued in
the i nflationary models. In this context a quintessence is
well known to describe a time varying, spatially homoge-
neous component of cosmic density with a negative pressure
and a positive energy density. In the recent past a slowly
rolling time dependent scalar field is believed to describe the
quintessence presumably due to its simplest form as a ten-
sor field which couples minimally to Einstein gravity. The
acceleration of the universe is parameterized by the cosmo-
logical equation of state: ω = P/ρ, where P =−T

and ρ = T

> 0, respectively, define the pressure and energy
density sourced by a scalar field. In the recent years the obser-
vational cosmology primarily has focused on the measure-
ment of ω sourced by a quintessence. It takes a bounded
value: −1 <ω<−1/3.
The quintessence energy density underlying geometric
torsion in the formalism may be seen to be sourced by a
