Quintessence with Coupled Scalar Fields
نویسنده
چکیده
We discuss the dynamics of a quintessence model involving two coupled scalar fields. The model presents two types of solutions, namely solutions that correspond to eternal and transient acceleration of the universe. In both cases, we obtain values for the cosmological parameters that satisfy current observational bounds as well as the nucleosynthesis constraint on the quintessence energy density.

One-loop quantum corrections to cosmological scalar field potentials
We study the loop corrections to potentials of complex or coupled real scalar fields used in cosmology to account for dark energy, dark matter or dark fluid. We show that the SUGRA quintessence and dark matter scalar field potentials are stable against the quantum fluctuations, and we propose solutions to the instability of the potentials of coupled quintessence and dark fluid scalar fields. We...
متن کاملScalar Non-luminous Matter in Galaxies
As a candidate for dark matter in galaxies, we study an SU(3) triplet of complex scalar fields which are non-minimally coupled to gravity. In the spherically symmetric static spacetime where the flat rotational velocity curves of stars in galaxies can be explained, we find simple solutions of scalar fields with SU(3) global symmetry broken to U(1) × U(1), in an exponential scalar potential, whi...
متن کاملInflation and quintessence with nonminimal coupling
The nonminimal coupling (NMC) of the scalar field to the Ricci curvature is unavoidable in many cosmological scenarios. Inflation and quintessence models based on nonminimally coupled scalar fields are studied, with particular attention to the balance between the scalar potential and the NMC term ξRφ2/2 in the action. NMC makes acceleration of the universe harder to achieve for the usual potent...
متن کاملA late time acceleration of the universe with two scalar fields : many possibilities
In the present work, an attempt has been made to explain the recent cosmic acceleration of the universe with two mutually interacting scalar fields, one being the Brans Dicke scalar field and the other a quintessence scalar field. Conditions have been derived for which the quintessence scalar field has an early oscillation and it grows during a later time to govern the dynamics of the universe.
متن کاملReinterpreting Quintessential Dark Energy through Averaged Inhomogeneous Cosmologies
Regionally averaged relativistic cosmologies have recently been considered as a possible explanation for the apparent late time acceleration of the Universe. This contribution reports on a mean field description of the backreaction in terms of a minimally coupled regionally homogeneous scalar field evolving in a potential, then giving a physical origin to the various phenomenological scalar fie...
