Stealth scalar fields in dissipative FLRW cosmology obey a generalized Riccati equation with dissipative pressure as driving term, admitting a stable entropy-selected attractor and an unstable repeller that track non-equilibrium evolution to de Sitter.

abstract
Recently, the phenomenological description of cosmological particle production processes in terms of effective viscous pressures has attracted some attention. Using a simple creation rate model we discuss the question to what extent this approach is compatible with the kinetic theory of a relativistic gas. We find the effective viscous pressure approach to be consistent with this model for homogeneous spacetimes but not for inhomogeneous ones.

Cosmological Stealth fields and Non-Equilibrium thermodynamics
