Quintessence from M-theory
نویسنده
چکیده
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’.

Quintessence, 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 کاملObservable interactions of quintessence with ordinary matter and neutrinos
For any realistic theory of quintessence that allows for a violation of the equivalence principle (VEP), we study the experimental constraints on such theories coming from ordinary matter as well as neutrinos. We discuss and compare constraints from two basically different (extra) contributions to differences of fermion masses: one is due to the vacuum expectation value (vev) of quintessence, a...
متن کامل3 M . W . Kalinowski ( Higher Vocational State School in Che lm , Poland ) Comment on a Quintessence Particle Mass in the Kaluza – Klein Theory and Properties of its Field
We calculate a mass of a quintessence particle of order 10−5 eV and we find several solutions for quintessence field equation. We consider also a quintessence speed of sound in several schemes and quintessence fluctuations. In this paper we consider several consequences of the Nonsymmetric Kaluza–Klein (Jordan–Thiry) Theory. We consider a value of a mass of quintessence particle, several intere...

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...
