We investigate the cosmological evolution of the power law K-essence dark energy (DE) model $F(X)= -\sqrt{X} + X$ with a new interaction $Q = \alpha\rho _m\rho _{\phi }H^{-1}$ in FRWL spacetime. The evolution behavior of dark energy under…
Scale invariant theories are often used to address the hierarchy problem, however the regularization of their quantum corrections introduces a dimensionful coupling (dimensional regularization) or scale (Pauli-Villars, etc) which break this…
