abstract

A scalar field with an exponential potential has the particular property that it is attracted into a solution in which its energy scales as the dominant component (radiation or matter) of the Universe, contributing a fixed fraction of the total energy density. We study the growth of perturbations in a CDM dominated $\Omega=1$ universe with this extra field, with an initial flat spectrum of adiabatic fluctuations. The observational constraints from structure formation are satisfied as well, or better, than in other models, with a contribution to the energy density from the scalar field $\Omega_\phi \sim 0.1$ which is small enough to be consistent with entry into the attractor prior to nucleosynthesis.

Inflation driven by repulsive-like primordial black holes

gr-qc · 2026-04-28 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Repulsive-like primordial black holes in the Swiss-cheese framework produce quasi-de Sitter expansion, enabling inflation with evaporation reheating and acting as early dark energy for certain masses and densities.

Dynamical dark energy from Kretschmann scalar at low redshifts

astro-ph.CO · 2026-04-17 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Replacing the cosmological constant with the Kretschmann scalar yields a dynamical dark energy model that fits supernova and cosmic chronometer data and produces a phantom-crossing equation-of-state parameter w(z) similar to recent phenomenological fits.

The Status of Single Scalar Field Dark Energy

astro-ph.CO · 2026-07-08 · conditional · novelty 4.5

Cosmological data can constrain only a handful of EFT parameters for single-scalar dark energy; extended models show modest preference over Λ but remain underdetermined and challenged by fifth forces and screening.

    In a 5D open FRW model, negative curvature sustains tracker-like radion evolution that enables dynamical compactification via Casimir stabilization before 4D inflation dilutes curvature remnants.
