Abstract
I show how to compute the nonlinear power spectrum across the entire dynamical dark energy model space. Using synthetic CDM data, I train a neural ordinary differential equation (ODE) to infer the evolution of the nonlinear matter power spectrum as a function of the background expansion and mean matter density across of cosmic evolution. After training, the model generalises to {\it any} dynamical dark energy model parameterised by . With little optimisation, the neural ODE is accurate to within up to k = . Unlike simulation rescaling methods, neural ODEs naturally extend to summary statistics beyond the power spectrum that are sensitive to the growth history.
