Abstract
There are two physical actions that have a natural setting in terms of
the coadjoint representation of the algebra of diffeomorphisms and of affine
Lie algebras. One is the usual geometric action that comes from coadjoint
orbits. The other action lives on the phase space that is transverse to the
orbits and are called transverse actions, where Yang-Mills theory in two
dimensions is an example. Here we show that the transverse action associated
with the Virasoro algebra might contain clues for a theory for dark energy.
These actions might also suggests a mechanism for symmetry changing.
