We study how the evolution of a dark energy quintessence fluid is modified by the presence of a matter inhomogeneity. To do so, we study linear perturbations of a flat FLRW background containing dust and a slowly rolling scalar field. Under the assumptions of spherical symmetry and a static density contrast, i.e. , we obtain simple analytical solutions for perturbations in the matter and dark energy-dominated epochs. As a consequence, we show that perturbations of the scalar field, if a coupling la Bekenstein is assumed, trigger a spatial dependence of the fine-structure ‘constant’ which then varies as Δα ∝ 1/r. We finally highlight that such variations can be constrained with spectroscopic observations of stars from within our galaxy, therefore offering a new probe of the nature of dark renergy.

不均匀性对缓慢滚动精髓的影响:对精细结构常数局部变化的影响
我们研究暗能量精华流体的演化如何因物质不均匀性的存在而改变。为此,我们研究了包含灰尘和缓慢滚动的标量场的平坦 FLRW 背景的线性扰动。在球对称和静态密度对比的假设下,即,我们获得了物质和暗能量主导时代中扰动的简单解析解。因此,我们显示的标量场的该扰动,如果耦合LA贝肯斯坦假设,触发空间微细结构“恒定”,然后作为变化Δ的依赖性α α1 / [R. 我们最后强调,这种变化可以通过对银河系内恒星的光谱观察来限制,因此提供了对暗能量本质的新探索。
