The Gravitating Perfect Fluid-Scalar Field Equations: Quintessence and Tachyonic Matter

Abstract: The system consisting of a self gravitating perfect fluid and scalar field is considered in detail. The scalar fields considered are the quintessence and "tachyonic" forms which have important application in cosmology. Mathematical properties of the general system of equations are studied including the algebraic and differential identities as well as the eigenvalue structure. The Cauchy problem for both quintessence and the tachyon is presented. We discuss the initial constraint equations which must be satisfi… Show more

“…The simplest candidate of the dark energy is a tiny positive time-independent cosmological constant Λ, for which w = −1. Another possibility is quintessence [5,6], a cosmic real scalar field that is displaced from the minimum of its potential. With the evolution of the universe, the scalar field slowly rolls down its potential.…”

“…Also the tachyonic field has a potential which has an unstable maximum at the origin and decays to almost zero as the field goes to infinity. Depending on various forms of this potential following this asymptotic behaviour a lot of works have been carried out on tachyonic dark energy [16][17][18][19], tachyonic dark matter [20][21][22] and inflation models [23,24].…”
