Dynamical Dark Energy Signatures from a New Transition $Om(z)$ Parametrization in Flat FLRW Cosmology
Abstract
We investigate a cosmic scenario using a new transition parameterization of the diagnostic, , in the spatially flat Friedmann Lema\^itre Robertson-Walker (FLRW) framework. Using observational datasets such as Observational Hubble Data (OHD), Pantheon Plus (PP), and SH0ES, we analyze the evolution of the function to probe deviations from the standard CDM model and constrain free parameter space {, l, m } using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) analysis with the emcee sampler. Our analysis reveals a clear transition in the slope of from negative to positive at transition redshift values , , and for the OHD, OHD+PP, and OHD+PPSH0ES datasets, respectively. This behavior suggests a dynamical evolution of dark energy, indicating a transition from a quintessence-like phase to a phantom regime. From the combined OHD+PPSH0ES dataset, we obtain a best-fit value of the Hubble constant , which is consistent with the SH0ES calibration and supports the viability of our model. Additionally, our analysis indicates that the current age of the Universe is approximately Gyr from all available combinations of datasets, which is consistent with observational expectations. Further, we find that the deceleration-to-acceleration transition, which marks the beginning of cosmic acceleration, is inferred to occur within the redshift interval , highlighting the emergence of dark energy as the dominant component in the Universe's recent expansion history. Our transition parameterization captured progressive cosmological changes and enabled seamless interpolation over cosmic epochs.
