Luis P. Chimento, M\'onica Forte, Ruth Lazkoz, Mart\'in G. Richarte

TL;DR
This paper generalizes the quintom cosmological model by introducing an internal space structure with multiple scalar fields, deriving exact solutions, and exploring their stability, crossing of the phantom divide, and implications for cosmic evolution.
Contribution
It extends the quintom scenario to an N-dimensional internal space, finds new dual transformations, and provides exact solutions including models crossing the phantom divide.
Findings
Existence of solutions crossing the phantom divide.
Solutions that blow up at finite time, indicating superaccelerated expansion.
The model encompasses ΛCDM, bouncing, and cosmic string scenarios.
Abstract
We introduce the Lagrangian for a multi-scalar field configuration in a -dimensional internal space endowed with a constant metric and generalize the quintom cosmological scenario. We find the energy momentum tensor of the model and show that the set of dual transformations, that preserve the form of the Einstein equations in the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) cosmology, is enlarged. We show that the stability of the power law solutions leads to an exponential potential which is invariant under linear transformations in the internal space. Moreover, we obtain the general exact solution of the Einstein-Klein-Gordon equations for that potential. There exist solutions that cross the phantom divide and solutions that blow up at a finite time, exhibiting a superaccelerated behavior and ending in a big rip. We show that the quintom model with a separable potential can be…
