A new single-dynamical-scalar-field model of dark energy

Astrophysics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

A new single-dynamical-scalar-field model of dark energy is proposed, in which either higher derivative terms nor structures of extra dimension are needed. With the help of a fixed background vector field, the parameter for the effective equation of state of dark energy may cross w=1w=-1 in the evolution of the universe. After suitable choice of the potential, the crossing w=1w=-1 and transition from decelerating to accelerating occur at z0.2z\approx 0.2 and z1.7z\approx 1.7, respectively.
