Implications of the Two-Component Dark Energy Model for Hubble Tension
Abstract
Dark energy plays a crucial role in the evolution of cosmic expansion. In most studies, dark energy is considered a single dynamic component. In fact, multi-component dark energy models may theoretically explain the accelerated expansion of the universe as well. In our previous research, we constructed the CDM () models and conducted numerical research, finding strong observational support when the value of n is small. Based on our results, both the and Akaike information criterion (AIC) favor the CDM model more than the CDM model. However, previous studies were limited to two equal-component dark energy models, failing to consider the component proportions as variables. Therefore, we will further explore the CDM model. To simplify the model, we fix in one component and set the other component to , varying the proportions of both components in the population. Under different , we obtain the one-dimensional distribution of with respect to . Further fitting reveals the evolution of under varying and . We also perform the same operation on . To evaluate the error of fitting, we introduce two indicators, and MAPE, to quantify the fitting ability of our models. We find that when is less than -1, increases with the decrease of and the increase of , effectively alleviating tension. For , it still prefers the CDM model, and the CDM model will decrease significantly when it approaches the CDM model. The excellent performance of and MAPE further proves that our model has an outstanding fitting effect and extremely high reliability.
