On Some Exponential Potentials for a Cosmological Scalar Field as Quintessence

Astrophysics 2008-11-26 v3 General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology

Abstract

We present general exact solutions for two classes of exponential potentials in scalar field models for quintessence. The coupling is minimal and we consider only dust and scalar field. To some extent, it is possible to reproduce experimental results from supernovae.
