We present a detailed investigation of the dynamical behavior of mimetic gravity with a general potential for the mimetic scalar field. Performing a phase-space and stability analysis, we show that the scenario at hand can successfully describe the thermal history of the universe, namely the successive sequence of radiation, matter, and dark-energy eras. Additionally, at late times the universe can either approach a de Sitter solution, or a scaling accelerated attractor where the dark-matter and dark-energy density parameters are of the same order, thus offering an alleviation of the cosmic coincidence problem. Applying our general analysis to various specific potential choices, including the power-law and the exponential ones, we show that mimetic gravity can be brought into good agreement with the observed behavior of the universe. Moreover, with an inverse square potential we find that mimetic gravity offers an appealing unified cosmological scenario where both dark energy and dark matter are characterized by a single scalar field, and where the cosmic coincidence problem is alleviated.

  1. Two-field mimetic gravity revisited and Hamiltonian analysis

    gr-qc 2019-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A two-field mimetic gravity model has two scalar degrees of freedom, not one, and the extra entropy mode is a ghost when the fields have opposite-sign kinetic terms.

    gr-qc 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Introduces Fractional Holographic Dark Energy (FHDE) via fractionally corrected entropy from a modified Wheeler-DeWitt equation and studies its late-time cosmology, field reconstructions, and extensions to modified gr...

  3. Interacting dark energy in the early 2020s: a promising solution to the $H_0$ and cosmic shear tensions

    astro-ph.CO 2019-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    An interacting dark energy model with coupling proportional to the dark energy density alleviates the H0 and S8 tensions in Planck 2018 data but is not preferred once BAO and supernova data are included.

  4. Autonomous Dynamical System of Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet Cosmologies

    gr-qc 2019-08 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A phase space analysis of Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet cosmology finds a stable equilibrium and a heteroclinic orbit, but the equilibrium requires the Gauss-Bonnet coupling to vanish and the orbit violates the Friedmann constraint.
