Dark energy rapidly evolving from the dustlike state in the close past to the phantomlike state at present has been recently proposed as the best fit for the supernovae Ia data. Assuming that a dark energy component with an arbitrary scalar-field Lagrangian, which has a general dependence on the field itself and its first derivatives, dominates in the flat Friedmann universe, we analyze the possibility of a dynamical transition from the states with w>-1 to those with w<-1 or vice versa. We have found that generally such transitions are physically implausible because they are either realized by a discrete set of trajectories in the phase space or are unstable with respect to the cosmological perturbations. This conclusion is confirmed by a comparison of the analytic results with numerical solutions obtained for simple models. Without the assumption of the dark energy domination, this result still holds for a certain class of dark energy Lagrangians, in particular, for Lagrangians quadratic in field's first derivatives. The result is insensitive to topology of the Friedmann universe as well.

The silent dark sector: a field-theory approach to unified dark fluids with vanishing speed of sound
All vanishing-speed-of-sound TDiff scalar theories reduce to a two-parameter mimetic action describing the dark sector as interacting dust plus vacuum; a quadratic-potential example tracks the DESI CPL background.

Affine ANEC selects the closed FRW branch for geodesically complete cosmology
Affine ANEC obstructs non-static flat and open FRW from being null geodesically complete while ANEC-satisfying, but allows explicit scalar-field realizations for closed FRW with NEC-respecting matter.

Realization of quintom dark energy after DESI DR2 in Nieh-Yan modified teleparallel gravity
Coupling a single fluid or scalar dark energy to the Nieh-Yan density removes its unstable perturbation, allowing a healthy quintom-B crossing and predicting gravitational-wave velocity birefringence.

Open case for a closed universe
A no-go theorem proves flat and open FRW universes cannot be nonsingular, geodesically complete and ANEC-consistent while closed universes can, with positive curvature mimicking phantom dark energy at the 1% level.

Using DESI DR2, DES supernovae, and two CMB likelihoods, the authors find wDM about 0.001 and wDE about -0.94 when varied jointly, a roughly 2-sigma joint preference away from Lambda-CDM, with a non-phantom Pade-w plu...
