Coupled quintessence and the coincidence problem
We consider a model of interacting cosmological constant/quintessence, where dark matter and dark energy behave as, respectively, two coexisting phases of a fluid, a thermally excited Bose component and a condensate, respectively. In a simple phenomenological model for the dark components interaction we find that their energy density evolution is strongly coupled during the universe evolution. ...
متن کاملQuintessence Cosmology and the Cosmic Coincidence
Within present constraints on the observed smooth energy and its equation of state parameter wQ = P/ρQ, it is important to find out whether the smooth energy is static (cosmological constant) or dynamic (quintessence). The most dynamical quintessence fields observationally allowed are now still fast-rolling and no longer satisfy the tracker approximation if the equation of state parameter varie...
متن کاملCoupled Quintessence in a Power-Law Case and the Cosmic Coincidence Problem
The problem of the cosmic coincidence is a longstanding puzzle. This conundrum may be solved by introducing a coupling between the two dark sectors. In this Letter, we study a coupled quintessence scenario in which the scalar field evolves in a power law potential and the mass of dark matter particles depends on a power law function of φ. It is shown that this scenario has a stable attractor so...
متن کاملThe Helium Abundance Problem and Non-minimally Coupled Quintessence
Recently, it has been discovered that the expansion of the Universe is accelerating. This requires the existence of a dark energy component in the Universe with an equation of state p = wρ, w < 0. One example of such a component is a cosmological constant. However, it is difficult to understand in the present framework of particle physics why it is so small. A fine tuning of 10 is required if t...
متن کاملThe Dynamics of Quintessence, The Quintessence of Dynamics
Quintessence theories for cosmic acceleration imbue dark energy with a non-trivial dynamics that offers hope in distinguishing the physical origin of the component. We review quintessence models with an emphasis on this dynamics and discuss classifications of the different physical behaviors. The pros and cons of various parameterizations are examined as well as the extension from scalar fields...
