We construct the non-canonical kinetic term of a k-essence field directly from the effective equation of state function wk(z), which describes the properties of the dark energy. Adopting the usual parametrizations of equation of state, we numerically reproduce the shape of the non-canonical kinetic term and discuss some features of the constructed form of k-essence.

We consider the agegraphic models of dark energy in a braneworld scenario with brane–bulk energy exchange. We assume that the adiabatic equation for the dark matter is satisfied while it is violated for the agegraphic dark energy due to the energy exchange between the brane and the bulk. Our study shows that with the brane–bulk interaction, the equation of state parameter of agegraphic dark energy on the brane, wD, can have a transition from the normal state, where wD > -1, to the phantom regime, where wD < -1, while the effective equation of state for dark energy always satisfies [Formula: see text].

Interesting Possibility

In an effective field theory model with an ultraviolet momentum cutoff, there is a relation between the effective equation-of-state of dark energy and the ultraviolet cutoff scale. It implies that a measure of the equation of state of dark energy different from minus one, ω ≠ -1, does not rule out vacuum energy as dark energy. It also indicates an interesting possibility that precise measurements of the infrared properties of dark energy can be used to probe the ultraviolet cutoff scale of effective quantum field theory coupled to gravity. In a toy model with a vacuum energy-dominated universe with a Planck scale cutoff, the dark energy effective equation of state is w eff ≈ -0.96.

A slightly different power law-scaling fits to the picture of our 13.7 billion years old flat universe which is expanding presently at 67 km/s/Mpc with an acceleration. The model which is an attempt to retain power-law scaling in the light of the accepted facts about the universe we are living in, has a constant effective equation of state parameter as the cosmic fluid is a solution of matter, radiation and dark energy. It is successful in explaining the acceleration of universe which the normal power law fails if the present Hubble parameter is 67 km/s/Mpc and age of the universe is 13.7 billion years, and it is free from the defect of singularity.

Dimming mechanisms based on the conversion of photons into axions have been recently suggested which could justify the observation of equation of state values w = P/ρ less than -1 that do not correspond to the presence of phantom energy in the universe. It is argued that, though such a mechanism may in fact increase the actual value of w, it does not actually solve the phantom problem because the produced axions precisely are of the kind which has been considered to make up phantom energy and therefore the suggested mechanism can never make the actual value of w to exactly reach the value -1 from below, such as it also happens with other suggested mechanisms intended to get rid of phantoms from cosmology. It is conjectured that the actual current value of w must likely be less than -1 but so close to it that present observational accuracies could not allow discriminating between a cosmological constant and the phantom energy as the form currently taken by dark energy in the universe.

Two phenomenological variable Λ models, viz.Λ ~ (ȧ/a)2 and Λ ~ ρ, have been studied under the assumption that the equation of state parameter ω is a function of time. The selected Λ models are found to be equivalent both in four and five dimensions. The possibility of signature flip of the deceleration parameter is also shown.

Polytropic Equation

Equation-of-state parameter plays a significant role for guessing the real nature of dark energy. Here polytropic equation-of-state p = ωρnis chosen for some of the kinematical Λ-models viz., [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and Λ ~ ρ. Although in dust cases (ω = 0) closed form solutions show no dependency on the polytropic index n, but in non-dust situations some new possibilities are opened up including phantom energy with supernegative (ω < -1) equation-of-state parameter.

We assume that universe is dominated by non-relativistic matter and tachyon field and reconstruct the potential of tachyon field directly from the effective equation of state (EOS) of dark energy. We apply the method to four known parametrizations of equation of state and discuss the general features of the resulting potentials.

Evolution Analysis

We demonstrate how to describe in an unified way early and late-time acceleration in the context of mimetic F(R) gravity. As we show, an exponential F(R) gravity model has appealing features, with regard to unification and we perform an analysis of the late-time evolution. The resulting picture is interesting since in the mimetic case, certain pathologies of some ordinary F(R) models are remedied in a consistent way, owing to the presence of the mimetic potential and the Lagrange multiplier. We quantify the late-time evolution analysis by studying the scaled dark energy density, the dark energy equation of state and the total effective equation of state, and as we show the late-time evolution is crucially affected by the functional form of the F(R) gravity. It is intriguing that the most appealing case corresponds to the exponential F(R) gravity which unifies late- and early-time acceleration. Finally, we study the behavior of the effective gravitational constant and the growth factor, and as we show, significant differences between the mimetic and ordinary F(R) exponential model are spotted in the growth factor.

Quintessence Model

In this paper, we regard dilaton in Weyl-scaled induced gravitational theory as coupled quintessence, which is called DCQ model by us. Parametrization of the dark energy model is a good method by which we can construct the scalar potential directly from the effective equation of state function ωσ(z) describing the properties of the dark energy. Applying this method to the DCQ model, we consider four parametrizations of ω(z) and investigate the features of the constructed DCQ potentials, which possess two different evolutive behaviors called "O" mode and "E" mode. Lastly, we comprise the results of the constructed DCQ model with those of quintessence model numerically.
