چکیده

Cosmological observations suggest the existence of two different kinds of energy densities dominating at small (< ∼ 500 Mpc) and large (> ∼ 1000 Mpc) scales. The dark matter component, which dominates at small scales, contributes Ωm ≈ 0.35 and has an equation of state p = 0, while the dark energy component, which dominates at large scales, contributes ΩV ≈ 0.65 and has an equation of state p ≃ −ρ. It is usual to postulate weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) for the first component and some form of scalar field or cosmological constant for the second component. We explore the possibility of a scalar field with a Lagrangian L = −V (φ) √

We investigate the four-dimensional supergravity theory obtained from the compactification of eleven-dimensional supergravity on a smooth manifold of G2 holonomy. We give a new derivation for the Kähler potential associated with the scalar kinetic term of the N = 1 four-dimensional theory. We then examine some solutions of the four-dimensional theory which arise from wrapped M-branes.

A very weakly coupled scalar field with mass m and initial vacuum expectation value V will provide enough mass to close the universe provided V ≃ (3 × 10 8 GeV)(100 GeV/m) 1/4. We discuss possible models in which such a field could arise. (a) Electronic address (internet): [email protected].

We present evidence that the simplest particle-physics scalar-field models of dynamical dark energy can be separated into distinct behaviors based on the acceleration or deceleration of the field as it evolves down its potential towards a zero minimum. We show that these models occupy narrow regions in the phase-plane of w and w′, the dark energy equation-of-state and its time-derivative in uni...

We study the zero-point energy of a massless scalar field subject to spheroidal boundary conditions. Using the zeta-function method, the zero-point energy is evaluated for small ellipticity. Axially symmetric vector fields are also considered. The results are interpreted within the context of QCD flux tubes and the MIT bag model.
