Self-tracking solutions for asymptotic scalar fields

Journal of High Energy Physics Springer 2025:12 (2025) 135

Authors:

Martin Mosny, Joseph P Conlon, Edmund J Copeland

Abstract:

We explore the dynamics of pure scalar fields rolling on an exponential potential in the absence of any additional background fluid and demonstrate the existence of self-tracking solutions in which the self-perturbations of the scalar field act as an effective radiation background. The validity of these solutions is demonstrated through both analytic techniques and numerical simulations using CosmoLattice. We discuss applications to string cosmologies with significant trans-Planckian field excursions between inflation and BBN, including the required initial level of scalar perturbations to avoid overshoot.
