Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the possible theoretical constraint on the parameter nn of the agegraphic quintessence model by considering the requirement of the weak gravity conjecture that the variation of the quintessence scalar field ϕ\phi should be less than the Planck mass MpM_{\rm{p}}. We obtain the theoretical upper bound n2.5n\lesssim 2.5 that is inconsistent with the current observational constraint result 2.637<n<2.9832.637<n<2.983 (95.4% CL). The possible implications of the tension between observational and theoretical constraint results are discussed.
