三次Horndeski理论中的新标度解

New scaling solutions in cubic Horndeski theories

Ines S. Albuquerque, Noemi Frusciante, Nelson J. Nunes, Shinji Tsujikawa

摘要:

我们提出了一个可行的暗能量的情况下存在的立方Horndeski相互作用和一个标准的标量场动力学项与两个指数势。我们表明存在新的缩放解决方案,沿立方耦合$G_3$提供了一个重要的贡献,以同样的方式作为背景流体密度的规模的场密度。解最终进入由标量场主导的不动点驱动的宇宙加速时代,该不动点产生于第二指数势。我们澄清可行的参数空间中,所有的理论上一致的条件,包括那些没有鬼和拉普拉斯不稳定性满足标度和标量场占主导地位的临界点。与具有相同标量势的Quintessence相比,我们发现立方耦合产生了一些新的特征:(i)允许的模型参数空间更宽,因为更陡的势可以驱动宇宙加速:(ii)相对于Quintessence,现在的暗能量状态方程$w_ϕ$可以更接近$-1$;(iii)即使在标度时代,与立方耦合相关的密度在标准场密度上占主导地位,在低红移时,前者的贡献往往被抑制。我们还计算了与准静态近似下的物质扰动和弱透镜势在亚视界极限的增长相关的量,并表明立方耦合导致的扰动的修改后的演变,可以区分从Quintessence。

英文摘要:

We propose a viable dark energy scenario in the presence of cubic Horndeski interactions and a standard scalar-field kinetic term with two exponential potentials. We show the existence of new scaling solutions along which the cubic coupling $G_3$ provides an important contribution to the field density that scales in the same way as the background fluid density. The solutions finally exit to the epoch of cosmic acceleration driven by a scalar-field dominated fixed point arising from the second exponential potential. We clarify the viable parameter space in which all the theoretically consistent conditions including those for the absence of ghost and Laplacian instabilities are satisfied on scaling and scalar-field dominated critical points. In comparison to Quintessence with the same scalar potential, we find that the cubic coupling gives rise to some novel features: (i) the allowed model parameter space is wider in that a steeper potential can drive the cosmic acceleration; (ii) the dark energy equation of state $w_ϕ$ today can be closer to $-1$ relative to Quintessence; (iii) even if the density associated with the cubic coupling dominates over the standard field density in the scaling era, the former contribution tends to be suppressed at low redshifts. We also compute quantities associated with the growth of matter perturbations and weak lensing potentials under the quasi-static approximation in the sub-horizon limit and show that the cubic coupling leads to the modified evolution of perturbations which can be distinguished from Quintessence.
