Vector Field Models of Inflation and Dark Energy
Vector field models of inflation and dark energy are investigated. We consider nonminimal couplings of the vectors both in the matter and in the gravity sector. The cosmological equations, allowing anisotropic background expansion, are then studied as a dynamical system. We show the general conditions for the existence of scaling solutions for spatial fields. A vector with an inverse power-law ...
متن کاملA new massive vector field theory
In this paper, we put forth a new massive spin-1 field theory. In contrast to the quantization of traditional vector field, the quantization of the new vector field is carried out in a natural way. The Lorentz invariance of the theory is discussed, where owing to an interesting feature of the new vector field, the Lorentz invariance has a special meaning. In term of formalism analogical to QED(...
متن کاملCritical collapse of a massive vector field
Critical gravitational collapse was first found by Choptuik[1] in simulations of a spherically symmetric massless scalar field. A natural question to pose is then how critical collapse behaves when the scalar field has a mass, since this will introduce a characteristic length that destroys the scale invariance of the field equations. This question was studied by Brady et. al.[2] The results of ...
متن کاملVector Models for Dark Energy
We explore the possibility that the present stage of accelerated expansion of the universe is due to the presence of a cosmic vector field. We show that vector theories allow for the generation of an accelerated phase without the introduction of potential terms or unnatural scales in the Lagrangian. We propose a particular model with the same number of parameters as ΛCDM and excellent fits to S...
متن کاملDark Matter and Dark Energy from a single scalar field
The strong CP problem was solved by Peccei & Quinn by introducing axions, which are a viable candidate for DM. Here the PQ approach is modified so to yield also Dark Energy (DE), which arises in fair proportions, without tuning any extra parameter. DM and DE arise from a single scalar field and, in the present ecpoch, are weakly coupled. Fluctuations have a fair evolution. The model is also fit...
