Abstract

We consider a specific dark energy model, which only includes the Lagrangian up to the cubic order in terms of the vector field self-interactions in the generalized Proca theory. We examine the cosmological parameters in the model by using the data sets of CMB and CMB+HST, respectively. In particular, the Hubble constant is found to be H0=71.800.72+1.07H_0=71.80^{+1.07}_{-0.72} (72.480.60+0.7272.48^{+0.72}_{-0.60}) kms1Mpc1\rm kms^{-1}Mpc^{-1} at 68%68\%~C.L. with CMB (CMB+HST), which would alleviate the Hubble constant tension. We also obtain that the reduced χ2\chi^2 values in our model are close to unity when fitting with CMB and CMB+HST, illustrating that our model is a good candidate to describe the cosmological evolutions of the universe.
