We investigate cosmological scenarios with a non-minimal derivative coupling between the scalar field and the curvature, examining both the quintessence and the phantom cases in zero and constant potentials. In general, we find that the universe transits from one de Sitter solution to another, determined by the coupling parameter. Furthermore, according to the parameter choices and without the need for matter, we can obtain a Big Bang, an expanding universe with no beginning, a cosmological turnaround, an eternally contracting universe, a Big Crunch, a Big Rip avoidance and a cosmological bounce. This variety of behaviors reveals the capabilities of the present scenario.

  1. Breaking the Dark Sector Degeneracy with Nonparametric Expansion--Growth Reconstruction

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Joint nonparametric expansion–growth reconstruction finds no significant dark-sector interaction or dark-energy dynamics, remaining consistent with ΛCDM over 0≲z≲2.

  2. A `singular' bounce in the theory of gravity with non-minimal derivative coupling

    gr-qc 2025-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In a closed universe bounce with non-minimal derivative coupling, the geometry and energy densities are regular but the scalar field's time derivative diverges, so the full dynamical system is singular.
