The impact on cosmology of a primordial scaling field

Abstract:

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 briefly discuss the dynamics of such a scalar field and its impact on Big Bang nucleosynthesis, the growth of large scale structure and abundance of damped Lyman$-\alpha$ systems at high redshift. Given the simplicity of the model, i...
