We study a scalar phi field that unifies inflation and dark energy with a long period of a hot decelerating universe in between these two stages of inflation. A key feature is that the transition between the intermediate decelerated phase…

We demonstrate that a scalar field is unable to reverse its direction of motion while continuously exchanging energy with another fluid. If the rate of transfer is modulated by the scalar's acceleration, the field can undergo a rapid…
