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.

  1. Disentangling Similarity and Relatedness in Topic Models

    cs.CL 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Topic models lie on a spectrum from thematic-relatedness-rich to similarity-rich, and that position predicts which downstream tasks they handle well.

  2. K-essence sources of Kerr-Schild spacetimes

    gr-qc 2025-04 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    K-essence Lagrangians that can source Kerr-Schild spacetimes must be at most quadratic in the kinetic term, and linear when the congruence is autoparallel or when linearized solutions are also exact.

  3. Dynamical Boson Stars

    gr-qc 2012-02 unverdicted novelty 2.0 of 10

    Boson stars are particle-like solutions in general relativity that model dark matter, black hole mimickers, and binary systems.
