Abstract
A QED-based model of a new version of Vacuum Energy has recently been suggested, which leads to a simple, finite, one parameter representation of Dark Energy. An elementary, obvious, but perhaps radical generalization is then able to describe both Dark Energy and Inflation in the same framework of Vacuum Energy. One further, obvious generalization then leads to a relation between Inflation and the Big Bang, to the automatic inclusion of Dark Matter, and to a possible understanding of the birth (and death) of a Universe.

Solution for a vacuum energy following from the existence of fluctuating lepton and quark pairs in the quantum vacuum
Mechanism which can generate a present day vacuum energy, associated with dark energy and that which is suitable for inflation, describing how our universe evolved from a speck of infinitesimally small, space-time dimensions [2, For a review of inflation, see for example: P.J
That distinction appears because present day lepton and quark pair fluctuations are described in terms of renormalized charge
Summary
This paper defines an extension of a previous QED-based model of dark energy [1], which described a “bootstrap”. That distinction appears because present day lepton and quark pair fluctuations are described in terms of renormalized charge It is quite possible, following the functional analysis of QED charge renormalization presented in [3], where the summation and inclusion of the contributions of an infinite number of loop functionals L[A] suggested that charge renormalization is finite; and to within the qualitative approximations of that estimate, indicate that the fine structure constant calculated with e0, rather than the renormalized eR is given by α0 = π/2. This will be the value used when writing the loop fluctuation (k2) for the inflation case.
