Gravitational potential evolution in Unified Dark Matter Scalar Field Cosmologies: an analytical approach

arXiv:1103.0234 · doi:10.1142/S0217732311036723

Abstract

We investigate the time evolution of the gravitational potential Phi for a special class of non-adiabatic Unified Dark matter Models described by scalar field lagrangians. These models predict the same background evolution as in the LambdaCDM and possess a non-vanishing speed of sound. We provide a very accurate approximation of Phi, valid after the recombination epoch, in the form of a Bessel function of the first kind. This approximation may be useful for a future deeper analysis of Unified Dark Matter scalar field models.
