Abstract

We study models of non-minimally coupled relativistic fluid and kk-essence scalar field in the background of a flat Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker universe. The non-minimal coupling term is introduced in the Lagrangian level. We employ the variational approach with respect to independent variables that produce modified kk-essence field equations and the Friedmann equations. We have analyzed the coupled field-fluid framework explicitly using the dynamical system technique considering two different models based on inverse power-law potential. After examining these models it is seen that both models are capable of producing accelerating attractor solutions satisfying adiabatic sound speed conditions.
