HD - THEP - 00 - 22 March 2000 Quintessential Adjustment of the Cosmological Constant
We construct a time dependent adjustment mechanism for the cosmological " constant " which could be at work in a late Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe dominated by quintessence and matter. It makes use of a Brans-Dicke field that couples to the evolving standard-model vacuum energy density. Our explicit model possesses a stable late-time solution with a fixed ratio of matter and field energy...
متن کاملSimulations of Quintessential Cold Dark Matter: beyond the cosmological constant
We study the nonlinear growth of cosmic structure in different dark energy models, using large volume N-body simulations. We consider a range of quintessence models which feature both rapidly and slowly varying dark energy equations of state, and compare the growth of structure to that in a universe with a cosmological constant. We use a four parameter equation of state for the dark energy whic...
متن کاملCosmological constraints on quintessential halos
A complex scalar field has recently been suggested to bind galaxies and flatten the rotation curves of spirals. Its cosmological behavior is thoroughly investigated here. Such a field is shown to be a potential candidate for the cosmological dark matter that fills up a fraction VCDM;0.3 of the Universe ~where CDM denotes cold dark matter!. However, problems arise when the limits from galactic d...
متن کاملOn Dynamical Adjustment Mechanisms for the Cosmological Constant
After recalling why dynamical adjustment mechanisms represent a particularly attractive possibility for solving the cosmological constant problem, we briefly discuss their intrinsic difficulties as summarized in Weinberg’s no-go theorem. We then comment on some problems of the recently proposed ‘self-tuning’ mechanism in 4+1 dimensions. Finally, we describe an alternative approach which uses th...
متن کاملQuintessential inflation from a variable cosmological constant in a 5 D vacuum
We explore an effective 4D cosmological model for the universe where the variable cosmological constant governs its evolution and the pressure remains negative along all the expansion. This model is introduced from a 5D vacuum state where the (space-like) extra coordinate is considered as noncompact. The expansion is produced by the inflaton field, which is considered as non-minimally coupled t...
