Specific internal self-interactions in gaseous cosmic fluids are shown to give rise to effective negative pressures which may violate the strong energy condition. On this basis we discuss the transition from an initial de Sitter phase to a subsequent Friedmann-Lema^{i}tre-Robertson-Walker period as a non-equilibrium configuration of an ultrarelativistic gas. An accelerated expansion of the present universe is obtained as the consequence of a negative internal friction force which is self-consistently exerted on the non-relativistic cold dark matter (CDM) type microscopic constituents of the cosmic gas.

We study the dynamical properties of tracker quintessence models using a general parametrization of their corresponding potentials, and show that there is a general condition for the appearance of a tracker behavior at early times. Likewise, we deter
mine the conditions under which the quintessence tracker models can also provide an accelerating expansion of the universe with an equation of state closer to $-1$. Apart from the analysis of the background dynamics, we also include linear density perturbations of the quintessence field in a consistent manner and using the same parametrization of the potential, with which we show the influence they have on some cosmological observables. The generalized tracker models are compared to observations, and we discuss their appropriateness to ameliorate the fine-tuning of initial conditions and their consistency with the accelerated expansion of the Universe at late times.
Quintessence field is a widely-studied candidate of dark energy. There is tracker solution in quintessence models, in which evolution of the field $phi$ at present times is not sensitive to its initial conditions. When the energy density of dark ener
gy is neglectable ($Omega_phill1$), evolution of the tracker solution can be well analysed from tracker equation. In this paper, we try to study evolution of the quintessence field from full tracker equation, which is valid for all spans of $Omega_phi$. We get stable fixed points of $w_phi$ and $Omega_phi$ (noted as $hat w_phi$ and $hatOmega_phi$) from the full tracker equation, i.e., $w_phi$ and $Omega_phi$ will always approach $hat w_phi$ and $hatOmega_phi$ respectively. Since $hat w_phi$ and $hatOmega_phi$ are analytic functions of $phi$, analytic relation of $hat w_phisimhatOmega_phi$ can be obtained, which is a good approximation for the $w_phisimOmega_phi$ relation and can be obtained for the most type of quintessence potentials. By using this approximation, we find that inequalities $hat w_phi<w_phi$ and $hatOmega_phi<Omega_phi$ are statisfied if the $w_phi$ (or $hat w_phi$) is decreasing with time. In this way, the potential $U(phi)$ can be constrained directly from observations, by no need of solving the equations of motion numerically.
We show that the cosmological evolution of a scalar field in a potential can be obtained from a renormalisation group equation. The slow roll regime of inflation models is understood in this context as the slow evolution close to a fixed point, descr
ibed by the methods of renormalisation group. This explains in part the universality observed in the predictions of a certain number of inflation models. We illustrate this behavior on a certain number of examples and discuss it in the context of the AdS/CFT correspondence.
We consider several new classes of viable vector field alternatives to the inflaton and quintessence scalar fields. Spatial vector fields are shown to be compatible with the cosmological anisotropy bounds if only slightly displaced from the potential
minimum while dominant, or if driving an anisotropic expansion with nearly vanishing quadropole today. The Bianchi I model with a spatial field and an isotropic fluid is studied as a dynamical system, and several types of scaling solutions are found. On the other hand, time-like fields are automatically compatible with large-scale isotropy. We show that they can be dynamically important if non-minimal gravity couplings are taken into account. As an example, we reconstruct a vector-Gauss-Bonnet model which generates the concordance model acceleration at late times and supports an inflationary epoch at high curvatures. The evolution of vortical perturbations is considered.
We examine hilltop quintessence models, in which the scalar field is rolling near a local maximum in the potential, and w is close to -1. We first derive a general equation for the evolution of the scalar field in the limit where w is close to -1. We
solve this equation for the case of hilltop quintessence to derive w as a function of the scale factor; these solutions depend on the curvature of the potential near its maximum. Our general result is in excellent agreement (delta w < 0.5%) with all of the particular cases examined. It works particularly well (delta w < 0.1%) for the pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone Boson potential. Our expression for w(a) reduces to the previously-derived slow-roll result of Sen and Scherrer in the limit where the curvature goes to zero. Except for this limiting case, w(a) is poorly fit by linear evolution in a.
