Acceleration of the universe with a simple trigonometric potential

Abstract: In this paper, we investigate the quintessence model with a minimally coupled scalar field in the context of recent supernovae observations. By choosing a particular form of the deceleration parameter q , which gives an early deceleration and late time acceleration for dust dominated model, we show that this sign flip in q can be obtained by a simple trigonometric potential. The early matter dominated model expands with q = 1/2 as desired and enters a negative q phase quite late during the evolution.

“…A similar form of q has also been proposed by Banerjee and Das [29] in the case of Robertson-Walker space-time. Singh [30] investigated a cosmological model of Bianchi type-I with both deceleration and acceleration by using the special form a in equation (17).…”

“…Quintessence models, among the many proposed scalar field models, are the ones endowed with a potential so that the contribution to the pressure sector, can evolve to attain an adequately large negative value, thus generating the observed cosmic acceleration [7,8]. One main drawback of these quintessence models is that most of the quintessence potentials are chosen arbitrarily and do not have a proper theoretical justification explaining their genesis.…”
