Abstract: We investigate the static and spherically symmetric solutions of Einstein's equations for a scalar field with non-canonical kinetic term, assumed to provide both the dark matter and dark energy components of the Universe. In particular, we give a prescription to obtain solutions (dark halos) whose rotation curve v_c(r) is in good agreement with observational data. We show that there exist suitable scalar field Lagrangians that allow to describe the cosmological background evolution and the static solutions with a single dark fluid.

Separating Dark Physics from Physical Darkness: Minimalist Modified Gravity vs. Dark Energy

The acceleration of the cosmic expansion may be due to a new component of physical energy density or a modification of physics itself. Mapping the expansion of cosmic scales and the growth of large scale structure in tandem can provide insights to distinguish between the two origins. Using Minimal Modified Gravity (MMG) - a single parameter gravitational growth index formalism to parameterize modified gravity theories - we examine the constraints that cosmological data can place on the nature of the new physics. For next generation measurements combining weak lensing, supernovae distances, and the cosmic microwave background we can extend the reach of physics to allow for fitting gravity simultaneously with the expansion equation of state, diluting the equation of state estimation by less than 25% relative to when general relativity is assumed, and determining the growth index to 8%. For weak lensing we examine the level of understanding needed of quasi- and nonlinear structure formation in modified gravity theories, and the trade off between stronger precision but greater susceptibility to bias as progressively more nonlinear information is used.

Probing the Coupling between Dark Components of the Universe

Authors: Zong-Kuan Guo, Nobuyoshi Ohta, Shinji Tsujikawa

Comments: 8 pages, 7 figures, RevTeX, references added
Report-no: KU-TP 012

We place observational constraints on a coupling between dark energy and dark matter by using 71 Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) from the first year of the five-year Supernova Legacy Survey (SNLS), the cosmic microwave background (CMB) shift parameter from the three-year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP), and the baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) peak found in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). The interactions we study are (i) constant coupling delta and (ii) varying coupling delta(z) that depends on a redshift z, both of which have simple parametrizations of the Hubble parameter to confront with observational data. We find that the combination of the three databases marginalized over a present dark energy density gives stringent constraints on the coupling, -0.08 < delta < 0.03 (95% CL) in the constant coupling model and -0.4 < delta_0 < 0.1 (95% CL) in the varying coupling model, where delta_0 is a present value. The uncoupled LambdaCDM model (w_X = -1 and delta = 0) still remains a good fit to the data, but the negative coupling (delta < 0) with a phantom equation of state of dark energy (w_X < -1) is slightly favoured over the LambdaCDM model.

String Gas Cosmology and Structure Formation - A Brief Review

Authors: Robert Brandenberger

Comments: Invited talk at CosPA 2006, Nov. 15 - 17, 2006, National Taiwan University, Taipei, to be publ. in the proceedings, 11 pages, 3 figures

For suitable cosmological backgrounds, thermal fluctuations of a gas of strings can generate a scale-invariant spectrum of cosmological fluctuations without requiring a phase of inflationary expansion. We highlight the key points of this mechanism, and discuss cosmological backgrounds in which this scenario can be realized. The spectrum of cosmological perturbations has a small red tilt (like in scalar field-driven inflation) but (unlike in inflation) there is a small blue tilt of the spectrum of gravitational waves.

Recent Supernovae Ia observations tend to rule out all the cosmologies?

Authors: R. G. Vishwakarma (Zacatecas University)

Comments: Replaced with accepted version

Dark energy and the accelerated expansion of the universe have been the direct predictions of the distant supernovae Ia observations which are also supported, indirectly, by the observations of the CMB anisotropies, gravitational lensing and the studies of galaxy clusters. Today these results are accommodated in what has become the `concordance cosmology': a universe with flat spatial sections t=constant with about 70% of its energy in the form of Einstein's cosmological constant \Lambda.
However, we find that as more and more supernovae Ia are observed, more accurately and towards higher redshift, the probability that the data are well explained by the cosmological models decreases alarmingly, finally ruling out the concordance model at more than 95% confidence level. This raises doubts against the `standard candle'-hypothesis of the supernovae Ia and their use to constrain the cosmological models. We need a better understanding of the entire SN Ia phenomenon in order to have cosmological consequences from them.

Do Type-Ia Supernovae Constrain the Total Equation of State?

Authors: William Komp

Comments: version 2, 21 pages, 7 figures, 3 tables, submitted to Prd

In this paper, we consider a couple of alternative dark energy models using the total equation of state of the cosmological fluid, $\wt$. These models are fit to the recent type-Ia supernovae data and are compared to previously considered models. The first model is based on the hyperbolic tangent and provides a good estimate of the rate of the transition to dark energy domination. The second model is a cubic spline model. This model demonstrates and quantifies the non-monotonicity in the total equation of state coming from the supernovae observations. At present, the supernovae observations indicate significance to non-monotonically decreasing dark energy. We derive constraints on the spline paramters and compare and constrast the results to the Cosmological Constant dark energy model. Both the hyperbolic and splines models indicate that a precise physical notion of dark enegy is a potentially ever more mysterious quantity?

Dark Energy, A Cosmological Constant, and Type Ia Supernovae

Authors: Lawrence M. Krauss, Katherine Jones-Smith (CERCA, Case Western Reserve University), Dragan Huterer (KICP, University of Chicago)

Comments: 8 pages, submitted to New Journal of Physics

We focus on uncertainties in supernova measurements, in particular of individual magnitudes and redshifts, to review to what extent supernovae measurements of the expansion history of the universe are likely to allow us to constrain a possibly redshift-dependent equation of state of dark energy, $w(z)$. focus in particular on the central question of how well one might rule out the possibility of a cosmological constant $w=-1$. We argue that it is unlikely that we will be able to significantly reduce the uncertainty in the determination of $w$ beyond its present bounds, without significant improvements in our ability to measure the cosmic distance scale as a function of redshift. Thus, unless the dark energy significantly deviates from $w(z)=-1$ at some redshift, very stringent control of the statistical and systematic errors will be necessary to have a realistic hope of empirically distinguishing exotic dark energy from a cosmological constant.

Cuscuton Cosmology: Dark Energy meets Modified Gravity

Authors: Niayesh Afshordi (ITC, Harvard), Daniel J.H. Chung (UW-Madison), Michael Doran (Heidelberg), Ghazal Geshnizjani (UW-Madison)

Comments: 10 pages, 5 figures, submitted to PRD

In a companion paper (hep-th/0609150), we have introduced a model of scalar field dark energy, Cuscuton, which can be realized as the incompressible (or infinite speed of sound) limit of a k-essence fluid. In this paper, we study how Cuscuton modifies the constraint sector of Einstein gravity. In particular, we study Cuscuton cosmology and show that even though Cuscuton can have an arbitrary equation of state, or time dependence, and is thus inhomogeneous; its perturbations do not introduce any additional dynamical degree of freedom and only satisfy a constraint equation, amounting to an effective modification of gravity on large scales. Therefore, Cuscuton can be considered to be a minimal theory of evolving dark energy, or a minimal modification of a cosmological constant, as it has no internal dynamics. Moreover, this is the only modification of Einstein gravity to our knowledge that does not introduce any additional degrees freedom. We then study two simple Cuscuton models, with quadratic and exponential potentials. The quadratic model has the exact same expansion history as LCDM, and yet contains an early dark energy component with constant energy fraction, which is constrained to < 2%, mainly from WMAP Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and SDSS Lyman-alpha forest observations. The exponential model has the same expansion history as the DGP self-accelerating braneworld model, but generates a much smaller Integrated Sachs-Wolfe (ISW) effect, and is thus consistent with the CMB observations. Finally, we show that the evolution is local on super-horizon scales, implying that there is no gross violation of causality, despite Cuscuton's infinite speed of sound.

Measuring deviations from a cosmological constant: a field-space parameterization

Authors: Robert Crittenden, Elisabetta Majerotto, Federico Piazza

Comments: 5 pages, 6 figures

Most parameterizations of the dark energy equation of state do not reflect realistic underlying physical models. Here, we develop a relatively simple description of dark energy based on the dynamics of a scalar field which is exact in the limit that the equation of state approaches a cosmological constant, assuming some degree of smoothness of the potential. By introducing just two parameters defined in the configuration space of the field we are able to reproduce a wide class of quintessence models. We examine the observational constraints on these models as compared to linear evolution models, and show how priors in the field space translate into priors on observational parameters.

Reconstructing generalized ghost condensate model with dynamical dark energy parametrizations and observational datasets


Authors: Jingfei Zhang, Xin Zhang, Hongya Liu

Comments: 8 pages, 3 figures; references added

Observations of high-redshift supernovae indicate that the universe is accelerating at the present stage, and we refer to the cause for this cosmic acceleration as ``dark energy''. In particular, the analysis of current data of type Ia supernovae (SNIa), cosmic large-scale structure (LSS), and the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy implies that, with some possibility, the equation-of-state parameter of dark energy may cross the cosmological-constant boundary ($w=-1$) during the recent evolution stage. The model of ``quintom'' has been proposed to describe this $w=-1$ crossing behavior for dark energy. As a single-real-scalar-field model of dark energy, the generalized ghost condensate model provides us with a successful mechanism for realizing the quintom-like behavior. In this paper, we reconstruct the generalized ghost condensate model in the light of three forms of parametrization for dynamical dark energy, with the best-fit results of up-to-date observational data.

An Introduction to Loop Quantum Gravity Through Cosmology
Authors: Abhay Ashtekar
Comments: 20 pages, 4 figures, Introductory Review
Report-no: IGPG-07/01-02, NSF-KITP-07-05

This introductory review is addressed to beginning researchers. Some of the distinguishing features of loop quantum gravity are illustrated through loop quantum cosmology of FRW models. In particular, these examples illustrate: i) how `emergent time' can arise; ii) how the technical issue of solving the Hamiltonian constraint and constructing the \emph{physical} sector of the theory can be handled; iii) how questions central to the Planck scale physics can be answered using such a framework; and, iv) how quantum geometry effects can dramatically change physics near singularities and yet naturally turn themselves off and reproduce classical general relativity when space-time curvature is significantly weaker than the Planck scale.

Cosmological Scalar Fields Unification
Authors: Abdel Pérez-Lorenzana, Merced Montesinos, Tonatiuh Matos
(Submitted on 11 Jul 2007)

Abstract: We present a model where early inflation and late accelerating expansion of the Universe are driven by the real and imaginary parts of a single complex scalar field, which we identified as inflaton and phantom field, respectively. This inflaton-phantom unification is protected by an internal SO(1,1) symmetry, with the two cosmological scalars appearing as the degrees of freedom of a sole fundamental representation. The unification symmetry allows to build successful potentials. We observe that our theory provides a matter-phantom duality, which transforms scalar matter cosmological solutions into phantom solutions and vice versa. We also suggest that a complete unification of all scalar fields of cosmological interest is yet possible under a similar footing.
