Quintessence models based on a scalar field, phi, with an inverse power law potential display simple tracking behavior at early times, when the quintessence energy density, rho_phi, is sub-dominant. At late times, when rho_phi becomes…
Dark energy constraints have forced viable alternatives that differ substantially from a cosmological constant Lambda to have an equation of state w that evolves across the phantom divide set by Lambda. Naively, crossing this divide makes…
We present a quintessence model for the dark energy in which the quintessence scalar field is produced by the decay of a super heavy dark matter and gradually condensate to a classical scalar field. This model can explain both the smallness…
In this paper we have explored the consequences of a model of dark energy with its energy density varying exponentially with the scale factor. We first consider the model with $ \rho_{\phi} \propto e^{\kappa a} $, where $\kappa $ is a…

New constraints on the expansion rate of the Universe seem to favor evolving dark energy in the form of thawing quintessence models, i.e., models for which a canonical, minimally coupled scalar field has, at late times, begun to evolve away…
We study late-time acceleration scenarios using a quintessence field initially trapped in a metastable false vacuum state. The false vacuum has non-zero vacuum energy and could drive exponential expansion if not coupled with gravity. Upon…
