Quintessence  

In General > s.a. cosmology; fine-structure constant; generalized cosmological models.
* Idea: A possibly time-varying, inhomogenous cosmological scalar field with canonical kinetic terms and negative pressure (for example, described by a tachyonic field), rolling down a potential, that may be responsible for the late accelerated expansion of the universe.
* Issue: How can it be distinguished from a cosmological constant? Or another field like a Chaplygin gas?
