abstract

The recent result of Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) in combination with other cosmological data shows evidence of the evolving dark energy parameterized by $w_0w_a$CDM model. We interpret this result in terms of a quintessential scalar field and demonstrate that it can explain the DESI result even though it becomes eventually phantom in the past. Relaxing the assumption on the functional form of the equation-of-state parameter $w=w(a)$, we also discuss a more realistic quintessential model. The implications of the DESI result for Swampland conjectures, cosmic birefringence, and the fate of the Universe are discussed as well.

    astro-ph.CO 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For exponential-potential quintessence, a new fourth-order analytic correction, including a background expansion correction, improves the predicted dark energy equation of state compared with the leading-order thawing...

  2. General Relativistic Entropic Acceleration at the perturbation level: a CLASS implementation and first Boltzmann-code constraints

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    First full Boltzmann-code implementation of entropic dark energy, with MCMC constraints from CMB+BAO+SN, yields α≈1 and a fit statistically indistinguishable from ΛCDM.

  3. Dark Energy Crosses the Line: Quantifying and Testing the Evidence for Phantom Crossing

    astro-ph.CO 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Using CPL fits to six data combinations, the paper finds 3.1-5.2 sigma preference for a phantom-to-quintessence crossing of the dark energy equation of state, and shows that modified non-crossing models generally fit ...

  4. Physical vs phantom dark energy after DESI: thawing quintessence in a curved background

    astro-ph.CO 2025-04 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Curved thawing quintessence models fit DESI DR2 BAO, CMB, and Pantheon+ data as well as the flat w0-wa parametrization, so phantom crossing is model-dependent rather than required.

  5. Scalar-Tensor Gravity and DESI 2024 BAO data

    astro-ph.CO 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    With Planck and DESI BAO data, the Brans-Dicke Galileon model prefers a nonzero Galileon term and yields H0 = 71.0 +1.5 -1.3 km/s/Mpc, consistent with SH0ES at 1.2 sigma.

  6. Impact of DESI BAO Data on Inflationary Parameters: stability against late-time new physics

    astro-ph.CO 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Using CMB, supernova, and DESI BAO data, this study finds that inflationary parameters n_s and A_s remain stable (shifts under 1%) when SDSS BAO data is replaced by DESI BAO data across several late-time models.

  7. BAO vs. SN evidence for evolving dark energy

    astro-ph.CO 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Using DES BAO and reanalyzing DES5Y supernovae with a low/high-redshift magnitude offset, the paper shows the evidence for evolving dark energy depends strongly on supernova systematics.

  8. Upper limits on dark energy-dark matter interaction from DESI DR2 in a field-theoretic analysis

    astro-ph.CO 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A field-theoretic calculation finds that dark energy and dark matter interact only very weakly, and DESI data rule out the strong-interaction regime that would change quintessence behavior.

  9. Do we really need alternatives to the $\omega_0\omega_a$CDM parameterization after the DESI DR2?

    astro-ph.CO 2026-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In a common physically motivated pivot basis, the standard CPL parameterization is mildly preferred over the fafbCDM density expansion and reproduces quintessence backgrounds at least as well.

  10. Robust Preference for Dark Sector Interactions

    astro-ph.CO 2026-01 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Interacting dark matter–dark energy models fit DESI BAO and CMB data as well as evolving-dark-energy (CPL) models, with a coupling preference that persists under DES-Dovekie supernova recalibration.

  11. Cosmological constraints on Galileon dark energy with broken shift symmetry

    astro-ph.CO 2025-09 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A broken shift symmetric cubic Galileon with a quadratic potential, fitted to DESI DR2, supernova and CMB data, is strongly favored over ΛCDM for DESY5/Union3 supernovae and reproduces the phantom-crossing equation of...

  12. About electroweak domain walls in Majoron models

    hep-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Electroweak instantons alone do not produce Majoron domain walls; a tiny instanton mass from B+L breaking is cosmologically negligible and can act as a bias or dark energy.

  13. Updated Constraints on Omnipotent Dark Energy: A Comprehensive Analysis with CMB and BAO Data

    gr-qc 2025-04 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Updated constraints on the DMS20 dark energy model from CMB, BAO, and Pantheon+ data keep it consistent with Lambda CDM while generically producing two phantom-divide crossings; the H0 tension is reduced only with enl...

  14. Robustness of dark energy phenomenology across different parameterizations

    astro-ph.CO 2025-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    The viability of minimally and non-minimally coupled quintessence models is robust across CPL, JBP, BA, and EXP parameterizations, with all four reproducing the models' predicted observables accurately.

  15. The DESI DR1/DR2 evidence for dynamical dark energy is biased by low-redshift supernovae

    astro-ph.CO 2025-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    The DESI dynamical dark energy preference drops below 2 sigma after correcting a 0.043 mag intercept discrepancy in the low-redshift supernovae of DESY5.

  16. Is excess smoothing of Planck CMB ansiotropy data partially responsible for evidence for dark energy dynamics in other $w(z)$CDM parametrizations?

    astro-ph.CO 2025-01 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In three new w(z)CDM parametrizations, Planck CMB plus non-CMB data favor evolving dark energy over a cosmological constant at roughly 2 sigma when the Planck lensing anomaly parameter is fixed, and at roughly 1 sigma...

  17. Do Observations Prefer Thawing Quintessence?

    astro-ph.CO 2024-11 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A Bayesian reanalysis with DESI, Planck, and supernova data shows that the reported preference for thawing quintessence is a prior-volume artifact that disappears under less data-informed priors.

  18. The Lifespan of our Universe

    hep-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    If the axion dark energy model with a negative cosmological constant is the true explanation of DES/DESI data, the universe will end in a big crunch at a total age of about 33 billion years.

  19. An overview of what current data can (and cannot yet) say about evolving dark energy

    astro-ph.CO 2025-02 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    The apparent preference for evolving dark energy depends strongly on which supernova catalog and which BAO survey are used, and is not robust across all independent data combinations.

  20. Dark energy and lensing anomaly in Planck CMB data

    astro-ph.CO 2025-02 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    When the Planck lensing amplitude AL is fitted freely, DESI+CMB+SN data no longer prefer evolving dark energy, and DESI BAO's lower matter density worsens the lensing anomaly in LambdaCDM.

    astro-ph.CO 2025-01 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Using DESI BAO, galaxy clusters, supernovae and Hubble data, the authors find no evidence for violation of the cosmic distance duality and favor flat ΛCDM.

    astro-ph.CO 2024-12 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Reconstructing Ωm from DESI's w0waCDM fits shows an SNe-driven low-redshift departure from ΛCDM, with a 3.4σ disagreement between a DES supernova subsample and DESI full-shape clustering at the same effective redshift.

  23. A short review on Quintom dark energy theory

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 2.0 of 10

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