Abstract

In this study, we investigate the oscillatory dark energy model wsinCDMw_{\sin}\mathrm{CDM} based on the DESI BAO data together with OHD, Pantheon Plus, and SH0ES measurements. We examine how the DESI data influence the dark energy equation-of-state plane (w0,wa)(w_0, w_a) within cosmological models that are free from Hubble tension and employ a Monte Carlo Markov Chain (MCMC) approach. Our findings indicate that although the parameter space still favors wa<0w_a < 0 and w0>1w_0 > -1 , the cosmological constant remains consistent with the DESI+OHD+PP combination at the 2σ2\sigma level. We also observe that the best-fit Hubble constant H0H_0 is higher for the DESI+OHD+PP+SH0ES data combination, leading to a residual Hubble tension of less than 1σ1\sigma to remain consistent with the SH0ES measurement. These results suggest that attempts to address the Hubble tension tend to reduce indication of DESI for the oscillatory dark energy model. Therefore, claims that the cosmological constant should be approached with greater caution, considering both the latest observational datasets and the existing cosmological tensions. We also obtained the present deceleration parameter and the effective equation-of-state value as q0=0.36q_0 = -0.36 and weff=0.57w_{\mathrm{eff}} = -0.57, respectively, for the DESI+OHD+PP+SH0ES dataset combination. Further analysis indicated a strong departure of w0w_0 from w=1w=-1 at the 4σ4\sigma level for the DR2+OHD+DES-5yr data combination. The inferred Ωm\Omega_{m} tended to shift toward higher values when supernova samples were included, indicating a systematic preference for larger Ωm\Omega_{m} in combinations involving supernova data.
