Abstract

We study the (w0,wa)(w_0, \, w_a) parametrization of the dark energy (DE) equation of state, with and without the effective field theory of dark energy (EFTofDE) framework to describe the DE perturbations, parametrized here by the braiding parameter αB\alpha_B and the running of the Planck mass αM\alpha_M. We combine the EFTofLSS full-shape analysis of the power spectrum and bispectrum of BOSS data with the tomographic angular power spectra CggC_\ell^{gg}, CκgC_\ell^{\kappa g}, CTgC_\ell^{Tg} and CTκC_\ell^{T\kappa}, where gg, κ\kappa and TT stand for the DESI luminous red galaxy map, Planck PR4 lensing map and Planck PR4 temperature map, respectively. To analyze these angular power spectra, we go beyond the Limber approximation, allowing us to include large-scale data in CggC_\ell^{gg}. The combination of all these probes with Planck PR4, DESI DR2 BAO and DES Y5 improves the constraint on the 2D posterior distribution of {w0,wa}\{w_0, \, w_a\} by 50%\sim 50 \% and increases the preference for evolving dark energy over Λ\Lambda from 3.8σ3.8 \sigma to 4.6σ4.6 \sigma. When we remove BAO and supernovae data, we obtain a hint for evolving dark energy at 2.3σ2.3 \sigma. Regarding the EFTofDE parameters, we improve the constraints on αB\alpha_B and αM\alpha_M by 40%\sim 40 \% and 50%50 \% respectively, finding results compatible with general relativity at 2σ\sim 2 \sigma. We show that these constraints do not depend on the choice of the BAO and supernovae likelihoods.
