Canonical and phantom scalar fields as an interaction of two perfect fluids    [PDF]

Mauricio Cataldo, Fabiola Arevalo, Patricio Mella
In this article we investigate and develop specific aspects of Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) scalar field cosmologies related to the interpretation that canonical and phantom scalar field sources may be interpreted as cosmological configurations with a mixture of two interacting barotropic perfect fluids: a matter component $\rho_1(t)$ with a stiff equation of state ($p_1=\rho_1$), and an "effective vacuum energy" $\rho_2(t)$ with a cosmological constant equation of state ($p_2=-\rho_2$). An important characteristic of this alternative equivalent formulation in the framework of interacting cosmologies is that it gives, by choosing a suitable form of the interacting term $Q$, an approach for obtaining exact and numerical solutions. The choice of $Q$ merely determines a specific scalar field with its potential, thus allowing to generate closed, open and flat FRW scalar field cosmologies.
