Work Fun
• Theory, Extended Quintessence, funny effects of Gravity and Dark Energy Coupling
• Phenomenology, CMB spectrum and bispectrum, B modes, acceleration and structure formation
“Quintessence’’ models of DE
A classical, minimally-coupled scalar field evolves in a potential Vwhile its energy density and pressure combine to produce a negative equation of state w=p/
• Fine-tuning problem: in analogy with the need to tune initial values of to get the observed energy density and equation of state;
• “Coincidence’’ problem: why m ~just today ?
Search for ATTRACTOR SOLUTIONS (“tracking fields”)Search for ATTRACTOR SOLUTIONS (“tracking fields”)
R-boost Klein-Gordon equation in EQ:
Since R diverges as a-3 as a 0 (if non-relativistic species arepresent) , an “effective” potential is generated in the KG equation, boosting the dynamics of at early times. EQ admits tracking trajectories AND they are good trackers(large basin of attraction)
Approaching without fine-tuning
Matarrese S., Baccigalupi C., Perrotta F., to appear on Phys. Rev. D
W0= -0.999, TEQ for different initial K,V
Linear and non-linear perturbations
• Clustering properties: scalar field perturbations may interact with matter perturbations in EQ models.
• Weak lensing : variations of G induce corrections in distance calculations; perturbations gain a new d.o.f., the anisotropic stress
• CMB effects (ISW, projection, lensing, bispectrum)• Effects on LSS and structure formation • Backreaction of EQ perturbations on the background metric? (difference between Einstein
tensor formed from the averaged metric and the averaged value of the Einstein tensor)
• Search for purely gravitational explanation of cosmic acceleration (EQ without
potential)

DEfast
• A cmbfast 4.0 based code for dark energy cosmologies
• Scalar field dark energy models in ordinary or scalar-tensor cosmologies
• Effective dark energy models (Linder 2003): w=w0+(1-a)(w1-w0)
• Used for ~ 10 papers
CMB Cls and Dark Energy
• ISW killed by Cosmic Variance
• Projection degenerated with s, H0, K, … but still the basic effect on which CMB constraints on dark energy are based so far
• Projection unable to probe w(z), two redshift integrals wash that out
