Quintessence from M-theory
The status of exponential scalar potentials in supergravity is reviewed, and updated. One version of N=8 D=4 supergravity with a positive exponential potential, obtainable from a ‘non-compactification’ of M-theory, is shown to have an accelerating cosmological solution that realizes ‘eternal quintessence’.
متن کاملQuintessence, Flat Potential and String/M Theory Axion
A slow-rolling scalar field (Quintessence) has been proposed as the origin of accelerating universe at present. We discuss some features of quintessence, particularly those related with the flatness of its potential. We distinguish two types of quintessences, a metrical quintessence which couples to the particle physics sector only through the mixing with the spacetime metric and a non-metrical...
متن کاملString Theory and Quintessence
We discuss the obstacles for defining a set of observable quantities analogous to an S-matrix which are needed to formulate string theory in an accelerating universe. We show that the quintessence models with the equations of state −1 < w < −1/3 have future horizons and may be no better suited to an S-matrix or S-vector description. We also show that in a class of theories with a stable supersy...
متن کاملKAIST-TH 99/03, hep-ph/9902292 String or M Theory Axion as a Quintessence
A slow-rolling scalar field (Q ≡ Quintessence) with potenial energy VQ ∼ (3 × 10−3 eV)4 has been proposed as the origin of accelerating universe at present. We investigate the effective potential of Q in the framework of supergravity model including the quantum corrections induced by generic (nonrenormalizable) couplings of Q to the gauge and charged matter multiplets. It is argued that the Käh...
متن کاملQuintessence Problem and Brans-Dicke Theory
For the last few decades, it is generally believed that after a (small) period of inflationary era (when the universe was accelerated) the universe has been evolving in a Big bang scenario (deceleration of the universe) and most of the present day observations are in accord with this cosmological model (known as Standard Cosmological Model). But difficulty has started when recent data from high...
