Extended Quintessence and its Late-time Domination
نویسنده
چکیده
Various astronomical observations point towards the evidence for dark energy. One of the most mysterious problem is the coincidence problem: why dark energy becomes dominant only recently. We present a scenario based on extended quintessence models to explain the late-time domination of dark energy without severe fine-tuning of initial conditions and model parameters.

Tracking Quintessence Would Require Two Cosmic Coincidences
Good tracking requires that the quintessence energy fraction slowly increase while the roll λ ≡ −d lnV/κdφ slowly decreases, but is not yet truly slow-rolling. The supernova bound on the present quintessence equation of state requires either (1) a cosmological constant or other finetuned ”crawling quintessence” or (2) ”roll-over quintessence” that tracked until recently, but now became slow rol...
متن کاملWhat We Already Know about Quintessence
Good tracking requires significant quintessence energy fraction, even in the past, but a potential energy that is not yet truly slow-rolling. The supernova bound on cosmic acceleration excludes constant equation of state and inverse power potentials, but allows the SUGRA potential and other good trackers, in which quintessence energy domination and kinetic energy suppression both began only rec...

متن کاملBaryogenesis from ‘electrogenesis’ in a scalar field dominated epoch
Scalar fields can play a dominant role in the dynamics of the Universe until shortly before nucleosynthesis. Examples are provided by domination by a kinetic mode of a scalar field, which may be both the inflaton and the late time ‘quintessence’, and also by more conventional models of reheating. The resultant modification to the pre-nucleosynthesis expansion rate can allow solely an asymmetry ...
متن کاملConstraints on Extended Quintessence from High - Redshift Supernovae
We obtain constraints on quintessence models from magnitude-redshift measurements of 172 type Ia Supernovae. The considered quintessence models are ordinary quintessence, with Ratra-Peebles and SUGRA potentials, and extended quintessence with a Ratra-Peebles potential. We compute confidence regions in the Ωm0 −α plane and find that for SUGRA potentials it is not possible to obtain useful constr...
