From a variational action with nonminimal coupling with a scalar field and classical scalar and fermionic interaction, cosmological field equations can be obtained. Imposing a Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker (FLRW) metric, the equations lead directly to a cosmological model consisting of two interacting fluids, where the scalar field fluid is interpreted as dark energy and the fermionic field fluid is interpreted as dark matter. Several cases were studied analytically and numerically. An important feature of the non-minimal coupling is that it allows crossing the barrier from a quintessence to phantom behavior. The insensitivity of the solutions to one of the parameters of the model permits it to find an almost analytical solution for the cosmological constant type of universe.

The evolutionary pictures for phantom field in loop quantum cosmology are discussed in this paper. Comparing the dynamical behaviors of the phantom field with one of the canonical scalar fields in loop quantum cosmology scenario, we found that the [Formula: see text] phase trajectories are the same, but the [Formula: see text] phase-spaces are very different, and the phantom field with considering potentials can drive neither super inflation nor slow-roll inflation in loop quantum cosmology (LQC) scenario. While the universe is filled with multiple dark fluids, to ensure that the condition [Formula: see text] does not violate, the energy density of dark matter [Formula: see text] and the equation-of-state of phantom field [Formula: see text] should satisfy the condition [Formula: see text] at the bounce point. If this constraint condition holds, the universe can enter an inflationary stage, and it is possible to unify the description of phantom field, dark matter and inflation. We introduced a toy model which has the same form of the general Chaplygin gas to unify the dark energy, dark matter and slow-roll inflation, and the slow-roll inflation of the toy model has also been discussed.

Static (not stationary) solutions of the Einstein–Klein–Gordon (EKG) equations including matter are obtained for real scalar fields. The scalar field interaction with matter is considered. The introduced coupling allows the existence of static solutions in contraposition with the case of the simpler EKG equations for real scalar fields and gravity. Surprisingly, when the considered matter is a photon-like gas, it turns out that the gravitational field intensity at large radial distances becomes nearly a constant, exerting an approximately fixed force to small bodies at any distance. The effect is clearly related with the massless character of the photon-like field. It is also argued that the gravitational field can generate a bounding attraction, that could avoid the unlimited increase in mass with the radius of the obtained here solution. This phenomenon, if verified, may furnish a possible mechanism for explaining how the increasing gravitational potential associated to dark matter, finally decays at large distances from the galaxies. A method for evaluating these photon bounding effects is just formulated in order to be further investigated.

We discuss the inflationary model presented in [1], involving a gauge singlet scalar field and fermionic dark matter added to the standard model. Either the Higgs or the singlet scalar could play the role of the inflaton, and slow roll is realized through its non-minimal coupling to gravity. The effective scalar potential is stabilized by the mixing between the scalars as well as the coupling with the fermionic field. Mixing of the two scalars also provides a portal to dark matter. Constraints on the model come from perturbativity and stability, collider searches and dark matter constraints and impose a constraining relationship on the masses of dark matter and scalar fields. Inflationary predictions are generically consistent with current Planck data.

The Universe

We consider the history of the universe from a possible big bang or a bounce into a late period of a unified interacting dark energy–dark matter model. The model is based on the Two Measures Theories (TMT) which introduces a metric independent volume element and this allows us to construct a unification of dark energy and dark matter. A generalization of the Two Measures Theories gives a diffusive nonconservative stress-energy–momentum tensor in addition to the conserved stress-energy tensor which appear in Einstein equations. These leads to a formulation of interacting DE–DM dust models in the form of a diffusive-type interacting Unified Dark Energy and Dark Matter scenario. The deviation from [Formula: see text]CDM is determined by the diffusion constant [Formula: see text]. For [Formula: see text] the model is indistinguishable from [Formula: see text]CDM. Numerical solutions of the theories show that in some [Formula: see text] the evolution of the early universe is governed by Stiff equation of state or the universe bounces to hyper-inflation. But all of those solutions have a final transition to [Formula: see text]CDM as a stable fixed point for the late universe.

Starting with geometrical premises, we infer the existence of fundamental cosmological scalar fields. We then consider physically relevant situations in which spacetime metric is induced by one or, in general, by two scalar fields, in accord with the Papapetrou algorithm. The first of these fields, identified with dark energy (DE), has exceedingly small but finite (subquantum) Hubble mass scale ([Formula: see text] eV), and might be represented as a neutral superposition of quasi-static electric fields. The second field is identified with dark matter (DM) as an effectively scalar conglomerate composed of primordial neutrinos and antineutrinos in a special tachyonic state.

Unified Description

The generalized hybrid metric-Palatini theory of gravity admits a scalar-tensor representation in terms of two interacting scalar fields. We show that, upon an appropriate choice of the interaction potential, one of the scalar fields behaves like dark energy, inducing a late-time accelerated expansion of the universe, while the other scalar field behaves like pressureless dark matter that, together with ordinary baryonic matter, dominates the intermediate phases of cosmic evolution. This unified description of dark energy and dark matter gives rise to viable cosmological solutions, which reproduce the main features of the evolution of the universe.
