The author carefully discusses the several different models which exist in the literature under the common name of a quintessence model for the cosmic expansion. He then calculates the details for such a model where the underlying field is a real scalar field with an equation of state representing a negative pressure effectively. He shows why the quintessence field cannot be spatially homogeneous, and he shows why runaway scalar fields fulfil the sticking point theorem. This theorem states the following: if the universe has crossed the sticking point, then it will expand forever, and the scalar field becomes frozen. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1029.00077].
