Quintessence Cosmology and Varying

Open access
Chiba, T., Kohri, K.·2002·Progress of Theoretical Physics

Abstract

If the reported measurements of the time variation of the fine structure constant from observations of distant QSOs are correct, combined with the Oklo limit, they would strongly constrain the class of the quintessence potential. If these results prove valid, future satellite experiments (STEP) should measure the induced violation of the weak equivalence principle. Future cosmological observations of nearby (z ≲ 0.5) absorption systems would make it clear whether the variation is significant or not.

  • Chiba and Khori (2002) argued that an ultra-light quintessence field induces a time variation of the coupling constant if it is coupled to ordinary matter and studied a coupling of the form δ_e φ F_{μν} F^{μν}/M_P.

    “Chiba and Khori (2002) also argued that an ultra-light quintessence field induces a time variation of the coupling constant if it is coupled to ordinary matter and studied a coupling of the form d e /F lm F lm =M P , as, e.g., expected from Kaluza-Klein theories (see Sect. 3.4 below).”

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.
