Perturbation evolution with a non-minimally coupled scalar field | Rachel Bean

30 Apr 2001 | Journal: | Phys.Rev. D64 (2001) 123516 | Subject: | astro-ph gr-qc hep-ph | Abstract: | We recently proposed a simple dilaton-derived quintessence model in which the scalar field was non-minimally coupled to cold dark matter, but not to `visible’ matter. Such couplings can be attributed to the dilaton in the low energy limit of string theory, beyond tree level. In this paper we discuss the implications of such a model on structure formation, looking at its impact on matter perturbations and CMB anisotropies. We find that the model only deviates from $Lambda$CDM and minimally coupled theories at late times, and is well fitted to current observational data. The signature left by the coupling, when it breaks degeneracy at late times, presents a valuable opportunity to constrain non-minimal couplings given the wealth of new observational data promised in the near future. | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/0104464 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
