It is pointed out that a natural introduction of quintessence is an axion with an almost massless quark. With an appropriate gauge or discrete symmetry, one can obtain the quintessence potential height of order $(0.003 eV)^4$. Even though the QCD axion with almost massless up quark is a possibility, we stress the almost massless quark in the hidden sector together with the QCD axion toward the quintessence.

  1. Natural Phantom Dark Energy from a $\mathbb{Z}_N$--Axion

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.5

    A Z_N-symmetric multi-copy dark-QCD axion, broken by single-sector reheating, yields natural phantom-crossing dark energy with dark-pion DM in a viable parameter window.
