Journal ArticleDOI
Quintessence, cosmic coincidence, and the cosmological constant
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce the notion of a ''tracker field'' a form of quintessence, and show how it may explain the coincidence, adding new motivation for the quintessense scenario.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cosmological tracking solutions
TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduced the notion of tracker fields to avoid the initial conditions problem and showed that a substantial fraction of the energy density of the universe may consist of quintessence in the form of a slowly rolling scalar field.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cluster Abundance Constraints for Cosmological Models with a Time-varying, Spatially Inhomogeneous Energy Component with Negative Pressure
Limin Wang,Paul J. Steinhardt +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a general expression for the abundance of rich clusters is derived for any models with a mixture of cold dark matter plus cosmological constant or quintessence (a time-evolving, spatially inhomogeneous component with negative pressure).
Journal ArticleDOI
Cluster Abundance Constraints on Quintessence Models
Limin Wang,Paul J. Steinhardt +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a general expression for the mass power spectrum of a mixture of cold dark matter plus cosmological constant or quintessence (a time-evolving, spatially-inhomogeneous component with negative pressure) is derived.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cosmological signature of new parity violating interactions
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined two classes of parity violation in cosmological birefringence, possibly driven by quintessence, and an asymmetry in the amplitude of right versus left-handed gravitational waves produced during inflation.
