New cosmological model of quintessence and dark matter

Open access
Sahni, Varun, Wang, Limin·2000·Physical Review D

Abstract

We propose a new class of quintessence models in which late times oscillations of a scalar field give rise to an effective equation of state which can be negative and hence drive the observed acceleration of the universe. Our ansatz also describes a new form of dark matter which we call frustrated cold dark matter (FCDM). FCDM inhibits gravitational clustering on small scales and could provide a natural resolution to the core density problem for disk galaxy halos.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
