Abstract

We investigate whether or nor it is possible to find a scalar field model or models that are capable of explaining simultaneously the observed N-z relation given by the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey, which still seems to exhibit a spatial periodicity of the galaxy distribution(the 'picket-fence structure'), and the CMB spectrum obtained by the WMAP experiments. It is found that both the observed size of the spatial periodicity and the amplitude of the 2dF N-z relation can be fairly well fitted by the theoretical computations based on the scalar field models with -20≤ ξ≤ -10, and 140≤ m\rm s ≤ 160, where ξ is the gravitational coupling parameter, and m\rm s the normalized mass of the scalar field, respectively. To reproduce the CMB spectrum of the WMAP, we find that it is very crucial to have a null state of the scalar field in the early epochs of evolution of the universe.
