The aim of this work is to apply the observable-state model for the quantum field theory of a \phi^n self- interaction. We show how to obtain finite values for the 2-point and n-point correlation functions without introducing counterterms…

An oscillating scalar field as a quintessence model for dark energy is proposed. The case of a power-law potential is particularly intriguing and is the focus of the present article. In this model the equation of state w_{OQ} of dark energy…

Reconstructing the expansion history of the Universe from type Ia supernovae data, we fit the growth rate measurements and put model-independent constraints on some key cosmological parameters, namely, $\Omega_\mathrm{m},\gamma$, and…

We consider a model identification problem in which an outcome variable contains nonignorable missing values. Statistical inference requires a guarantee of the model identifiability to obtain estimators enjoying theoretically reasonable…

We explore snares in determining the equation of state of dark energy ($\omega$) when one uses the so-called principal component analysis for multiple observations. We demonstrated drawbacks of principal component analysis in an earlier…

This study examines interacting quintessence dark energy models and their observational constraints for a general parameterization of the quintessence potential, which encompasses a broad range of popular potentials. Four different forms of…

We use simulated Hubble parameter data in the redshift range 0 \leq z \leq 2 to explore the role and power of observational H(z) data in constraining cosmological parameters of the {\Lambda}CDM model. The error model of the simulated data…

We demonstrate that it is possible to calculate not only the mean of an underlying population but also its dispersion, given only a single observation and physically reasonable constraints (i.e., that the quantities under consideration are…

Quintessence theories for cosmic acceleration imbue dark energy with a non-trivial dynamics that offers hope in distinguishing the physical origin of the component. We review quintessence models with an emphasis on this dynamics and discuss…

With the tracking condition, the stability of quintessence solutions are examined. It is found that there is only one physically relevant fixed point for the system generically. Two specific examples of quintessence potentials are worked…

The surprising discovery of an accelerating universe led cosmologists to posit the existence of "dark energy"--a mysterious energy field that permeates the universe. Understanding dark energy has become the central problem of modern…

Any physical theory aims to establish the relationship between physical systems in terms of the interaction between these systems. However, any known approach in the literature to infer this interaction is dependent on the particular…

Interacting quintessence models have been proposed to explain or, at least, alleviate the coincidence problem of late cosmic acceleration. In this paper we are concerned with two aspects of these kind of models: (i) the dynamical evolution…

Due to increased awareness of data protection and corresponding laws many data, especially involving sensitive personal information, are not publicly accessible. Accordingly, many data collecting agencies only release aggregated data, e.g.…

We analyse the constraints that can be placed on a cosmological constant or quintessence-like component by combining observations of Type Ia supernovae with measurements of anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background. We use the recent…

We examine the status of various dark energy-models in light of the recently observed SN 1997ff at z \approx 1.7. The modified data still fit a pure cosmological constant \Lambda or a quintessence with an equation of state similar to that…

Most parameterizations of the dark energy equation of state do not reflect realistic underlying physical models. Here, we develop a relatively simple description of dark energy based on the dynamics of a scalar field which is exact in the…
