摘要
The compactification of M theory with time-dependent hyperbolic internal space gives an effective scalar field with exponential potential which provides a transient acceleration in the Einstein frame in four dimensions. Ordinary matter and radiation are present in addition to the scalar field coming from compactification. We find that we have to fine-tune the initial conditions of the scalar field so that our universe experiences acceleration now. During the evolution of our universe, the volume of the internal space increases about 12 times. The time variation of the internal space results in a large time variation of the fine structure constant which violates the observational constraint on the variation of the fine structure constant. The large variation of the fine structure constant is a generic feature of transient acceleration models.
