A quintessential introduction to dark energy.
Most of the energy in the Universe consists of some form of dark energy that is gravitationally self-repulsive and that is causing the expansion of the Universe to accelerate. The possible candidates are a vacuum energy density (or, equivalently, a cosmological constant) and quintessence, a time-evolving, spatially inhomogeneous component with negative pressure. In this review, we focus on quin...
متن کاملConstraining the runaway dilaton and quintessential dark energy
We investigate a form of quintessential dark energy for which the time evolution of a scalar dilaton field φ is given by |φ(a)|/mP ≡ α1 ln t + α2t = α ln a + β a2ζ , where a is the scale factor of a spatially flat FRW universe. This ansatz for φ is motivated by generic solutions of a scalar dilaton field in some effective string theory models in four dimensions, which also captures basic featur...
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...
متن کاملLow-scale Quintessential Inflation
In quintessential inflationary model, the same master field that drives inflation becomes, later on, the dynamical source of the (present) accelerated expansion. Quintessential inflationary models require a curvature scale at the end of inflation around 10MP in order to explain the large scale fluctuations observed in the microwave sky. If the curvature scale at the end of inflation is much sma...
متن کاملModeling Quintessential Inflation
We develop general criteria to construct unified frameworks for inflation and quintessence which employ a unique scalar field to drive both. By using such a minimal theoretical framework we avoid having to fine-tune couplings and massscales. In particular the initial conditions for quintessence are already fixed at the end of the inflationary epoch. We provide concrete realizations of the metho...
