abstract

Recently, a novel class of models for inflation has been found in which the inflationary dynamics is driven solely by (non-canonical) kinetic terms rather than by potential terms. As an obvious extension, we show that a scalar field with non-canonical kinetic terms alone behaves like an energy component which is time-varying and has negative pressure presently, i.e. quintessence. We present a model which has a constant equation of state, that is, a ``kinetic'' counterpart of the Ratra-Peebles model of a quintessence field with a potential term. We make clear the structure of the phase plane and show that the quintessential solution is a late-time attractor. We also give a model for the ``phantom'' component which has an equation of state with $w=p/\rho <-1$.

Quintom Model Perturbations

astro-ph.CO · 2026-06-25 · unverdicted · novelty 4.0

A two-field quintom model reproduces w0waCDM perturbation features and is mildly favored over it in Bayesian fits to BAO, CMB, and SNIa data.

The sound of dynamical dark energy and modified gravity

astro-ph.CO · 2026-05-29 · unverdicted · novelty 4.0

Using CMB, SN, BAO and shear data, the work shows dynamical dark energy in MG models correlates with deviations from GR below z=2 at >95% CL, a link that holds for varying sound speed but vanishes for a cosmological constant.

Relativistic effects in k-essence

astro-ph.CO · 2026-04-22 · unverdicted · novelty 4.0

Relativistic effects dominate large-scale galaxy power spectra and grow with redshift, but are largely insensitive to k-essence microphysics in Fourier space while the angular spectrum shows clearer model distinctions, especially for the tachyon.
