MAY BE DARK ENERGY IS NOT JUST Λ?

φ g µν BRAIDING METRIC WITH A SCALAR FIELD- Kinetic Gravity Braiding
WHAT IS KINETIC GRAVITY BRAIDING? S φ = d 4 x g [K (φ,x)+g (φ,x) φ] k-inflation/essence, Armendariz-Picon, Damour, Mukhanov, Steinhardt 1999/2000 where X 1 2 gµν µ φ ν φ Minimal coupling to gravity S tot = S φ + S EH However, derivatives of the metric are coupled to the derivatives of the scalar, provided G X 0 shift-symmetry: theory is not parity symmetric: φ φ + c φ φ
ACTION FOR KINETIC GRAVITY BRAIDING IS SIMILAR TO EINSTEIN-HILBERT ACTION The second derivatives (higher derivative -HD) enter the action but only linearly One can eliminate the HD(in time) only by breaking the Lorentz-invariant formulation of the theory. Boundary terms are required! Despite the HD in the action, the equations of motion are still of the 2nd order: NO new degrees of freedom - NO Ostrogradsky s ghosts order of equations of motion >2 implies Hamiltonian unbounded from below - ghosts
KINETIC GRAVITY BRAIDING IS SIMILAR TO GALILEON ( Nicolis, Rattazzi, Trincherini 2008) BUT Does not require the Galilean symmetry: φ φ + c General functions µ φ µ φ + c µ K (φ,x) Minimal coupling to gravity, NO NO higher order therms like φt µ µ & & G (φ,x) φ ;λ φ ;λ (( φ) 2 φ ;µν φ ;µν 1 4 φ ;µφ ;µ R General Galileon Indeed, manifestly healthy Galileons are NEVER Galilean symmetric!!!

The scalar evolves on its attractor throughout the presented period. During matter domination w X = 2, while w X = 7/3 during radiation domination. The sound speed is superluminal when the scalar energy density is subdominant, becoming subluminal when Ω X 0.1 and w X 1.4
1.5 1 0.5 0 0.5 1 1.5 Ω X w X c 2 s 2 5 4 3 2 1 0 log a Evolution of DE properties in the Friedmann universe which also contains dust and radiation. The energy density in the scalar is J-dominated (off attractor) until a transition during the matter domination epoch. This allows the scalar to increase its contribution to the total energy budget throughout radiation domination (w X =1/6) and provide an early DE peaked at matterradiation equality, from whence it begins to decline with w X =1/4. The transition to the attractor behaviour is rapid. The equation of state crosses w X = 1 and the scalar energy density begins to grow. The final stages of evolution are on the attractor and are similar to those presented in previous figure.

The shading contours correspond to the energy density of DE today Ω X0. Two parameterisations of DE behaviour are shown: w X and w X evaluated today, and w X evaluated today and at z =1/2. The requirement that the energy density in DE at matter-radiation equality be small, Ω eq X < 0.1 forces the value of the shift charge to be small today Q 0 < 10 2. This means that in the most recent history, the evolution has effectively been on attractor or very close to it and the permitted value of w X is very restricted and determined to all intents and purposes by Ω 0 X. 0.65 0.6 0.55

We choose to cut the parameters such that the contribution to this early DE at that time is no larger than 10%. It can clearly be seen that values of w X closer to 1 are obtained when the shift charge is larger, but this leads to more early DE, eventually disagreeing with current constraints

CONCLUSIONS I φ Scalar field with a non-canonical action can behave like imperfect fluid: on general (not exactly isotropic and homogeneous FRW) background: T µν Eu µ u ν µν P Fluid elements (particles) are shift-charges: charges with respect to: φ φ + c φ kinetically mixes / braids with the metric: ( φ) 2 µ ( gg µν ν φ ) c.f. F (1) µν (A α ) F (2)µν (B β )
CONCLUSIONS II Manifestly stable (no ghosts and no gradient instabilities) and large violation of the Null Energy Condition (NEC) is possible even in theories minimally coupled to gravity: healthy Phantom with w< 1 n =0 Vanishing shift-charge,, corresponds to cosmological attractors similar to Ghost Condensate / bad k-inflation. But here these attractors can be manifestly stable (no ghosts and no gradient instabilities) and their exact properties depend on external matter. Through Euler relation these attractors generically E = mn P 0 evolve to de Sitter in late time asymptotic. Interesting for DE & Inflation!
