abstract

We present a model independent method of reconstructing the Lagrangian for the k-essence field driving the present acceleration of the universe. We consider the simplest k-essence model for which the potential is constant. Later we use three parametrizations for the Hubble parameter $H(z)$, consistent with the recent SN1a data, to yield the Lagrangian $F$. Our reconstruction program does not generate any physically realistic Lagrangian for models that allow phantom crossing, whereas models without phantom crossing, yield well behaved Lagrangian.

    A reconstruction method is derived that turns background expansion and linear perturbation data into full non-linear Lagrangians for quintessence, scalar-tensor, k-essence, and shift-symmetric cubic Galileon dark ener...

  2. Uplifting, Depressing, and Tilting Dark Energy

    astro-ph.CO 2025-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Interactions cannot generically explain the dark energy equation of state crossing w=-1 required by DESI-era distance data; the dark energy itself must cross the phantom divide.
