We investigate a solution which is relevant to the late universe. We show that if phi is taken to be a complex scalar field, then an exact solution to the vacuum equations requires that the Friedmann equation possesses both a constant term and one which is proportional to the inverse sixth power of the scale factor. Possible interpretations and phenomenological implications of this result are discussed.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessJordan-Brans-Dicke theorysupernovae Type 1Adark energyArticle10.2478/s11534-011-0067-72-s2.0-8005403940114716N/A14659WOS:000297743500012N/A
