Unified model for inflation and dark energy

Astrophysics 2008-11-26 v1

Abstract

We present a model based on the idea that Planck-scale effects may produce a small explicit breaking of global symmetries. The model contains a new complex scalar field Ψ\Psi, charged under a certain global U(1) symmetry, interacting with a new real scalar field χ\chi, neutral under U(1). For exponentially small breaking, the model accounts for both {\em early} and {\em late} periods of acceleration of the universe.
