Parametrization of K-essence and Its Kinetic Term

Astrophysics 2011-04-12 v2

Abstract

We construct the non-canonical kinetic term of a k-essence field directly from the effective equation of state function wk(z)w_k(z), which describes the properties of the dark energy. Adopting the usual parametrizations of equation of state we numerically reproduce the shape of the non-canonical kinetic term and discuss some features of the constructed form of k-essence.
