CPL-parametrized cosmic expansion in Galileon gravity: Constraints from recent data
Abstract
We explore the cosmic expansion history within the framework of Galileon gravity by employing a redshift-based expression for the Hubble rate, , derived from the CPL parametrization . This parametrization allows for a time-dependent expansion history consistent with the non-linear Galileon field equations. To constrain the model parameters, we perform a MCMC analysis using Hubble parameter measurements, DESI DR2 BAO data and Pantheon+ datasets. The best fit values obtained are km/s/Mpc, , and . Model comparison using information criteria yields and indicating that the Galileon model is a strong contender to the CDM model. The deceleration parameter shows a transition at , with . Energy density and pressure remain physically viable with and with the present day equation of state value of , which suggests mild dynamical dark energy. NEC and DECare satisfied, while SEC is violated. The model yields , and Om diagnostic shows a peak value of at , converging to at late times.These results demonstrate that Galileon gravity remains a viable and flexible alternative to CDM in describing late-time cosmic acceleration.
