Models of dark energy

  • Chapter
The Invisible Universe: Dark Matter and Dark Energy

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Physics ((LNP,volume 720))

Abstract

In this talk we present a pedagogical review of scalar field dynamics. The main emphasis is put on the underlying basic features rather than on concrete scalar field models. Cosmological dynamics of standard scalar fields, phantoms and tachyon fields is developed in detail. Scaling solutions are discussed emphasizing their importance in modelling dark energy. The developed concepts are implemented in an example of quintessential inflation. A brief discussion of scaling solutions for coupled quintessence is also included.
