abstract
The DESI collaboration have recently analyzed their first year of data, finding a preference for thawing dark energy scenarios when using parameterized equations of state for dark energy. We investigate whether this preference persists when the data is analyzed within the context of a well-studied field theory model of thawing dark energy, exponential quintessence. No preference for this model over $\Lambda$CDM is found, and both models are poorer fits to the data than the Chevallier-Polarski-Linder $w_0$--$w_a$ parameterization. We demonstrate that the worse fit is due to a lack of sharp features in the potential that results in a slowly-evolving dark energy equation of state that does not have enough freedom to simultaneously fit the combination of the supernovae, DESI, and cosmic microwave background data. Our analysis provides guidance for constructing dynamical dark energy models that are able to better accommodate the data.

Post-Inflationary Constraints on Nonminimally Coupled Quintessential Inflation
Gravitational-wave constraints on the reheating temperature rule out single-exponential nonminimally coupled quintessential inflation and require a double-exponential coupling that predicts thawing dark energy with w0...

Simple quintessence models in light of DESI-BAO observations
Thawing quintessence with linear or quadratic potentials is favored over LambdaCDM only when the DESY5 supernova catalog is used; with Pantheon+ or Union3 the preference is mild.

Examining Quintessence Models with DESI Data
NEC-obeying hilltop and exponential quintessence models give at most marginal improvement over the cosmological constant against DESI 2024 data, and the prominent k=10 hilltop 'excellent mimic' claim is an artifact of...

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

Robust Preference for Dark Sector Interactions
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.

Cosmology of axion dark energy in supersymmetric models and constraints on high scale parameters
A two-cosine axion dark energy potential fits CMB+BAO+supernova data better than the standard one-cosine potential, while preferring a sub-Planckian decay constant and a feeble dark-matter coupling.

Observational constraints on early time non-phantom behaviour of dynamical dark energy
Early scaling dark energy is constrained to be less than about one percent at matter-radiation equality and is disfavored by model selection, while late-time CPL dynamics show only a weak preference away from ΛCDM.

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

Breaking Free from the Swampland of Impossible Universes through the DESI Portal
DESI data indicating evolving dark energy may allow string theory to describe observed universes without violating swampland constraints on constant dark energy.
