Structure Formation with a Self-Tuning Scalar Field
Open accessAbstract
A scalar field with an exponential potential has the particular property that it is attracted into a solution in which its energy scales as the dominant component (radiation or matter) of the Universe, contributing a fixed fraction of the total energy density. We study the growth of perturbations in a cold dark matter dominated $\ensuremath{\Omega}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}1$ universe with this extra field, with an initial flat spectrum of adiabatic fluctuations. The observational constraints from structure formation are satisfied as well, or better, than in other models, with a contribution to the energy density from the scalar field ${\ensuremath{\Omega}}_{\ensuremath{\varphi}}\ensuremath{\sim}0.1$ which is small enough to be consistent with entry into the attractor prior to nucleosynthesis.

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.
