We propose in this paper a quintom model of dark energy with a single scalar field $\phi$ given by the lagrangian ${\cal L}=-V(\phi)\sqrt{1-\alpha^\prime\nabla_{\mu}\phi\nabla^{\mu}\phi +\beta^\prime \phi\Box\phi}$. In the limit of $\beta^\prime\to$0 our model reduces to the effective low energy lagrangian of tachyon considered in the literature. We study the cosmological evolution of this model, and show explicitly the behaviors of the equation of state crossing the cosmological constant boundary.

  3. A short review on Quintom dark energy theory

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 unverdicted

    Quintom dark energy models permit the equation of state to cross w=-1, supporting bouncing cosmologies and CMB-based tests of dark energy nature.
