Abstract

Dark energy models due to a slowly evolving scalar (quintessence) field are studied for various potentials in a universe with negative curvature. The potentials differ in whether they possess a minimum at or are monotonically declining, i.e. have a minimum at infinity. The angular power spectrum of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) as well as the magnitude-redshift relation of the type Ia supernovae are compared with the quintessence models. It is demonstrated that some of the models with are in agreement with the observations, i.e. possess acoustic peaks in the angular power spectrum of the CMB anisotropy as observed experimentally, and yield a magnitude-redshift relation in agreement with the data. Furthermore, it is found that the power spectrum of the large-scale structure (LSS) agrees with the observations too.
