Power-law expansion and Higgs-type potential in a scalar-tensor model
arXiv:1401.0863 · doi:10.1209/0295-5075/105/19001
Abstract
In the scalar-tensor model with Gauss-Bonnet and kinetic couplings, the power-law dark energy solution may be described by Higgs-type potential. It was found that in the solution describing early time epoch of matter dominance, the potential presents symmetry breaking phase, and the power law solution leading to accelerated expansion corresponds to Higgs-type potential in its symmetric shape.
