Pavlov, AnatolyWestmoreland, ShawnSaaidi, KhaledRatra, Bharat V.2014-02-182014-02-182014-02-18http://hdl.handle.net/2097/17177We generalize the time-variable dark energy scalar field Φ model (ΦCDM) to nonflat space. We show that even in the space-curvature-dominated epoch the scalar field solution is a time-dependent fixed point or attractor, with scalar field energy density that grows relative to the energy density in spatial curvature. This is the first example of a physically consistent and complete model of dynamical dark energy in a nonflat geometry.en-USThis Item is protected by copyright and/or related rights.
