This work explores the theory and phenomenology of extended Quintessence models of Dark Energy, including the funny effects of gravity and Dark Energy coupling. It investigates the CMB spectrum and bispectrum, B modes, acceleration, and structure formation. The fine-tuning and "coincidence" problems are analyzed, and search for attractor solutions is conducted. The paper also examines the effects of Dark Energy on weak lensing, as well as the backreaction of perturbations on the background metric.

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 V(f), while its energy density and pressure combine to produce a negative equation of state w=p/r • Fine-tuning problem: in analogy with L, the need to tune initial values of f to get the observed energy density and equation of state; • “Coincidence’’ problem: why rm ~ rfjust today ? 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 are • present) , an “effective” potential is generated in the KG equation, • boosting the dynamics of f at early times. • EQ admits tracking trajectories AND they are good trackers (large basin of attraction)

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) Perrotta F., Baccigalupi 2002; Perrotta et al. 2003 Acquaviva V., Baccigalupi C., Perrotta F., 2004
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 Ws, 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
