abstract
Recent cosmological observations suggest that the dark energy equation of state may have changed in the latter stages of cosmic history. We introduce a quintessence scenario, termed bounded dark energy, capable of explaining this feature in a technically natural way. Our approach is motivated from a bottom-up perspective, based on the concept of mirage cut-off, where we demonstrate the stability of the quintessence potential against large quantum corrections. At the same time, the bounded dark energy framework aligns well with top-down considerations motivated from quantum gravity arguments. We employ both human-driven insights and machine learning techniques to identify explicit realizations of bounded dark energy models. We then perform an analysis based on Markov Chain Monte-Carlo to assess their predictions against CMB, galaxy surveys, and supernova data, showing that bounded dark energy provides a good fit to current observations. We also discuss how upcoming measurements can further test and refine our proposal.

A swampland-inspired DM-EDE coupling is tested against DESI DR2 BAO data, showing the EDE potential construction affects late-time dark energy constraints.
Two three-parameter extensions of the mAH dark energy parametrization are compared to LambdaCDM, wCDM, CPL and others using CMB, DESI BAO, H(z), RSD and three SNIa samples, yielding Delta chi-squared improvements of 6-38 and 2-5 sigma tensions with LambdaCDM.
