Supersymmetric Quintessence
Abstract
Recent data point in the direction of a cosmological constant dominated universe. We investigate the role of supersymmetric QCD with Nf < Nc as a possible candidate for dynamical cosmological constant (``quintessence''). We take in full consideration the multi-scalar nature of the model, allowing for different initial conditions for the Nf independent scalar VEVs and studying the coupled system of Nf equations of motion. The issues related to the coupling of the scalars with other cosmological fields are also addressed.
