Observations from DESI DR2 are challenging the $\Lambda$CDM paradigm by suggesting that the equation-of-state parameter of dark energy evolves across $w = -1$, a phenomenon known as the Quintom scenario. Inspired by this development, we…
Cosmological observations of the recent universe suggest that dark energy equation of state parameter $w$ is growing with time, departing from a cosmological constant for which $w=-1$. Standard quintessence models allow for a varying…

We aim at the construction of dark energy models without exotic matter but with a phantom-like equation of state (an effective phantom phase). The first model we consider is decaying vacuum cosmology where the fluctuations of the vacuum are…

We examine dark energy models in which a quintessence or a phantom field, $\phi$, rolls near the vicinity of a local minimum or maximum, respectively, of its potential $V(\phi)$. Under the approximation that $(1/V)(dV/d\phi) \ll 1$,…
In this paper, we investigate a kind of special quintom model, which is made of a quintessence field $\phi_1$ and a phantom field $\phi_2$, and the potential function has the form of $V(\phi_1^2-\phi_2^2)$. This kind of quintom fields can…

We argue that dark energy with multiple fields is theoretically well-motivated and predicts distinct observational signatures, in particular when cosmic acceleration takes place along a trajectory that is highly non-geodesic in field space.…
We derive two field theory models of interacting dark energy, one in which dark energy is associated with the quintessence and another in which it is associated with the tachyon. In both, instead of choosing arbitrarily the potential of…
