Can dark energy evolve to the phantom?

Open access
Vikman, Alexander·2005·Physical Review D

Abstract

Dark energy with the equation of state $w(z)$ rapidly evolving from the dustlike ($w\ensuremath{\simeq}0$ at $z\ensuremath{\sim}1$) to the phantomlike ($\ensuremath{-}1.2\ensuremath{\lesssim}w\ensuremath{\lesssim}\ensuremath{-}1$ at $z\ensuremath{\simeq}0$) has been recently proposed as the best fit for the supernovae Ia data. Assuming that a dark energy component with an arbitrary scalar-field Lagrangian $p(\ensuremath{\varphi},{\ensuremath{\nabla}}_{\ensuremath{\mu}}\ensuremath{\varphi})$ dominates in the flat Friedmann universe, we analyze the possibility of a dynamical transition from the states $(\ensuremath{\varphi},\stackrel{\ifmmode \dot{}\else \textperiodcentered \fi{}}{\ensuremath{\varphi}})$ with $w\ensuremath{\ge}\ensuremath{-}1$ to those with $w<\ensuremath{-}1$ or vice versa. We have found that generally such transitions are physically implausible because they are either realized by a discrete set of trajectories in the phase space or are unstable with respect to the cosmological perturbations. This conclusion is confirmed by a comparison of the analytic results with numerical solutions obtained for simple models. Without the assumption of the dark energy domination, this result still holds for a certain class of dark energy Lagrangians, in particular, for Lagrangians quadratic in ${\ensuremath{\nabla}}_{\ensuremath{\mu}}\ensuremath{\varphi}$. The result is insensitive to topology of the Friedmann universe as well.

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.
