Stealth's cosmologies

Abstract

We present a novel approach to construct cosmological models endowed with a particular scalar field, the stealth. The model is constructed by studying a scalar field no-minimally coupled to the gravitational field with sources; as sources, we used a perfect fluid and analyzed the simplest case of dust and the power-law cosmology. Surprisingly, we find that these stealth fields, which have no back-reaction to background space-time, have a contribution to cosmological dynamics. Furthermore, we provide analytic expressions of the stealth's contributions to the energy density in both cases, and for the pressure in the power-low cosmology, which means that such contributions to cosmological evolution are quantifiable. Additionally, we discuss the behaviors of the self-interaction potential for some cases.
