Scalar field models for an accelerating universe
I describe a new class of quintessence+CDMmodels in which late time scalar field oscillations can give rise to both quintessence and cold dark matter. Additionally, a versatile ansatz for the luminosity distance is used to reconstruct the quintessence equation of state in a model independent manner from observations of high redshift supernovae. 1. A new model of quintessence and cold dark matte...
متن کاملScalar - tensor gravity in an accelerating universe
We consider scalar-tensor theories of gravity in an accelerating universe. The equations for the background evolution and the perturbations are given in full generality for any parametrization of the Lagrangian, and we stress that apparent singularities are sometimes artifacts of a pathological choice of variables. Adopting a phenomenological viewpoint, i.e., from the observations back to the t...
متن کاملAccelerating Universe and the Scalar-Tensor Theory
To understand the accelerating universe discovered observationally in 1998, we develop the scalar-tensor theory of gravitation originally due to Jordan, extended only minimally. The unique role of the conformal transformation and frames is discussed particularly from a physical point of view. We show the theory to provide us with a simple and natural way of understanding the core of the measure...
متن کاملAccelerating Universe and Scalar-Tensor Theories
Observational probes of dark energy converge on the fact that its equation of state w is close to −1. Some of these probes (for example the Gold SnIa sample) mildly support the possibility that w is time dependent and crosses the phantom divide line w = −1. Such a crossing is inconsistent with dark energy in the form of a single minimally coupled scalar field for any form of the field Lagrangia...
متن کاملReconstruction of a scalar-tensor theory of gravity in an accelerating universe
The present acceleration of the Universe strongly indicated by recent observational data can be modeled in the scope of a scalar-tensor theory of gravity. We show that it is possible to determine the structure of this theory along with the present density of dustlike matter from two observable cosmological functions: the luminosity distance and the linear density perturbation in the dustlike ma...
