隐藏低红移处的暗能量跃迁

Hiding dark energy transitions at low redshift

Michael J. Mortonson, Wayne Hu, Dragan Huterer

摘要:

我们发现,只要它们发生在超低红移z<0.02处,暗能量状态方程中的大起伏在观测上是允许的,在理论上也是可能的。这些波动会伪装成哈勃速率中百分之几或更少的局部跃迁,甚至会逃脱未来对膨胀历史和结构的高精度、高红移测量。表现出这种行为的标量场模型在电势中具有明显的特征,即场在当前的e倍的一小部分内穿过。状态方程参数可以变得任意大,如果一个急剧下降或隆起的潜力造成的动能和势能的领域都是大的,并有相反的符号。虽然正则标量场模型可以在低红移时降低膨胀率,但增加局域膨胀率需要标量场的非正则动力学项。

英文摘要:

We show that it is both observationally allowable and theoretically possible to have large fluctuations in the dark energy equation of state as long as they occur at ultra-low redshifts z<0.02. These fluctuations would masquerade as a local transition in the Hubble rate of a few percent or less and escape even future, high precision, high redshift measurements of the expansion history and structure. Scalar field models that exhibit this behavior have a sharp feature in the potential that the field traverses within a fraction of an e-fold of the present. The equation of state parameter can become arbitrarily large if a sharp dip or bump in the potential causes the kinetic and potential energy of the field to both be large and have opposite sign. While canonical scalar field models can decrease the expansion rate at low redshift, increasing the local expansion rate requires a non-canonical kinetic term for the scalar field.
