Sub-horizon Perturbation Behavior in Extended Quintessence
نویسنده
چکیده
In the general context of scalar-tensor theories, we consider a model in which a scalar field coupled to the Ricci scalar in the gravitational sector of the Lagrangian, is also playing the role of an “Extended Quintessence” field, dominating the energy content of the Universe at the present time. In this framework, we study the linear evolution of the perturbations in the Quintessence energy density, showing that a new phenomenon, named here “gravitational dragging”, can enhance the scalar field density perturbations as much as they reach the non-linear regime. The possibility of dark energy clumps formation is thus discussed.

On the dark energy clustering properties
We highlight a viable mechanism leading to the formation of dark energy structures on sub-horizon cosmological scales, starting from linear perturbations in scalar-tensor cosmologies. We show that the coupling of the dark energy scalar field, or Quintessence, to the Ricci scalar induces a “dragging” of its density perturbations through the general relativistic gravitational potentials. We discu...
متن کاملCoupled and Extended Quintessence: theoretical differences and structure formation
The case of a coupling between dark energy and matter (Coupled Quintessence) or gravity (Extended Quintessence) has recently attracted a deep interest and has been widely investigated both in the Einstein and in the Jordan frames (EF, JF), within scalar tensor theories. Focusing on the simplest models proposed so far, in this paper we study the relation existing between the two scenarios, isola...

By choosing the future event horizon as the horizon of the flat FLRW universe, we show that although the interacting holographic dark energy model is able to explain the phantom divide line crossing, but the thermodynamics second law is not respected in this model. We show that if one takes the particle event horizon as the horizon of the universe, besides describing ω = −1 crossing in a consis...

By choosing the future event horizon as the horizon of the flat FLRW universe, we show that the interacting holographic dark energy model is able to explain the phantom divide line crossing. We show that if one takes the particle event horizon as the horizon of the universe, besides describing ω = −1 crossing, (based on astrophysical data) he is able to determine appropriately the ratio of dark...
متن کاملConstraints on the primordial curvature perturbation from primordial black holes
We calculate the constraints on the primordial curvature perturbation at the end of inflation from the present day abundance of Primordial Black Holes (PBHs), as a function of the reheat temperature TRH. We first extend recent work on the formation of PBHs on scales which remain within the horizon during inflation and calculate the resulting constraints on the curvature perturbation. We then ev...
