Description
Current astronomical measurements indicate that approximately 73% of the
universe is made up of dark energy. Stochastically quantized
self-interacting scalar fields can serve as suitable models to generate
dark energy. We study a particular model where the scalar field theory
underlying dark energy exhibits strongest possible chaotic behaviour. It
is shown that the fluctuating chaotic field momenta obey a generalized
(nonextensive) statistical mechanics, with an entropic index q given by
q=3, respectively, q=-1 if the escort formalism is used.
