QUINTESSENTIAL INFLATION FROM 5D WARPED PRODUCT SPACES ON A DYNAMICAL FOLIATION
Assuming the existence of a 5D purely kinetic scalar field on the class of warped product spaces we investigate the possibility of mimic both an inflationary and a quintessential scenarios on 4D hypersurfaces, by implementing a dynamical foliation on the fifth coordinate instead of a constant one. We obtain that an induced chaotic inflationary scenario with a geometrically induced scalar potential and an induced quasi-vacuum equation of state on 4D dynamical hypersurfaces is possible. While on a constant foliation, the universe can be considered as matter-dominated today, in a family of 4D dynamical hypersurfaces, the universe can be passing period of accelerated expansion with a deceleration parameter nearly -1. This effect of the dynamical foliation results negligible at the inflationary epoch allowing for a chaotic inflationary scenario and becomes considerable at the present epoch allowing a quintessential scenario.
