Tracking quintessence and k-essence in a general cosmological background
Rupam Das, Thomas W. Kephart, Robert J. Scherrer
Abstract
We derive conditions for stable tracker solutions for both quintessence and k-essence in a general cosmological background, H2 f(ρ). We find that tracker solutions are possible only when η= d ln f /d ln ρis constant, aside from a few special cases, which are enumerated. Expressions for the quintessence or k-essence equation of state are derived as a function of ηand the equation of state of the dominant background component.
