It is widely acknowledged that, for formal purposes, a minimally coupled scalar field is equivalent to an effective perfect fluid with equation of state determined by the scalar potential. This correspondence is not complete because the Lagrangian densities P and -rho, which are equivalent for a perfect fluid, are not equivalent for a minimally coupled scalar field. The exchange between these two Lagrangian densities amounts to exchanging a canonical scalar field with a phantom scalar field.
