abstract
We take a phenomenological approach to study the cosmological evolution of decaying vacuum cosmology ($\Lambda(t)$CDM) based on a simple assumption about the form of the modified matter expansion rate. In this framework, almost all the current vacuum decaying models can be unified in a simple manner. We argue that the idea of letting vacuum decay to resolve the fine-tuning problem is inconsistent with cosmological observations. We also discuss some issues in confronting $\Lambda(t)$CDM with observation. Using the effective equation of state formalism, we indicate that $\Lambda(t)$CDM is a possible candidate for phantom cosmology. Moreover, confronted with a possible trouble of effective equation of state formalism, we construct the effect dark energy density. Finally, we discuss the evolution of linear perturbation.

QFT in FLRW spacetime yields a running vacuum energy density ρ_vac(H) that unifies mild dynamical dark energy today with H^4 inflation without an inflaton field.
Effective phantom dark energy is a background-level reconstruction that does not imply fundamental pathologies such as ghost instabilities or null energy condition violation by the underlying stress tensor.

Effective Phantom Dark Energy: What Cosmological Reconstruction Does and Does Not Imply
