Motivated by the apparent discrepancy between Cosmic Microwave Background measurements of the Hubble constant and measurements from Type-Ia supernovae, we construct a model for Dark Energy with equation of state $w = p / \rho < -1$,…
ecent observations of type Ia supernovae indicate that the Universe is in an accelerating phase of expansion. The fundamental quest in theoretical cosmology is to identify the origin of this phenomenon. In principle there are two…

We perform a detailed analysis of the asymptotic behavior of a multifield cosmological model with phantom terms. Specifically, we consider the Chiral-Phantom model consisting of two scalar fields with a mixed kinetic term, while one scalar…
We investigate in this paper the cosmological evolution of a dark energy model with two scalar fields where one of the scalar has canonical kinetic energy and another scalar has negative kinetic energy term. For such a system with…
Recently, the observed equation of state for dark energy appears to favor values below $-1$. The tendency implies that the nature of dark energy may be quite different from that of the cosmological constant. In view of the adjustment on the…
Recent observations suggest that the cosmological equation-of-state parameter w is close to -1. To say this is to imply that w could be slightly less than -1, which leads to R.Caldwell's "Phantom cosmologies". These often have the property…
In this paper we investigate quintom cosmologies with arbitrary potentials from the dynamical systems perspective. The dynamical systems analysis is complete in the sense that it includes the asymptotic regime where both scalar fields…
In this paper we consider FRW cosmology in $F(R,\phi)$ gravity. It is shown that in particular cases the bouncing behavior may appears in the model whereas the equation of state (EoS) parameter may crosses the phantom divider. For the…
The phase space analysis of cosmological parameters $\Omega_{\phi}$ and $\gamma_{\phi}$ is given. Based on this, the well-known quintessence cosmology is studied with an exponential potential $V(\phi)=V_{0}\exp(-\lambda\phi)$. Given…
We investigate cosmological evolution in models where the effective potential V(\phi) may become negative for some values of the field \phi. Phase portraits of such theories in space of variables (\phi,\dot\phi,H) have several qualitatively…
Phantom energy can be visualized as a scalar field with a (non-canonical) negative kinetic energy term. We use the dynamical system formalism to study the attractor behavior of a cosmological model containing a phantom scalar field $\phi$…
Dark energy cosmologies with an equation of state parameter $w$ less than -1 are often found to violate the null energy condition and show unstable behaviour. A solution to this problem may require the existence of a consistent effective…
A new cosmological scenario driven by a slow rolling homogeneous scalar field whose exponential potential $V(\Phi)$ has a quadratic dependence on the field $\Phi$ in addition to the standard linear term is discussed. The derived equation of…
We construct gravitational modifications that go beyond Horndeski, namely theories with extended nonminimal derivative couplings, in which the coefficient functions depend not only on the scalar field but also on its kinetic energy. Such…
A mathematical model of the Universe evolution, based on asymmetric doublet of classical and phantom dcalar Higgs fields with a kinetic connection between the components, has been constructed and studied. A detailed qualitative analysis was…
We investigate the cosmological attractor of the minimally coupled, self-interacting phantom field with a positive energy density but negative pressure. It is proved that the phantom cosmology is rigid in the sense that there exists a…
We study a cosmological model of gravity coupled to three, self-interacting scalar fields, one of them with negative kinetic term. The theory has cosmological solutions described by three-dimensional quadratic autonomous equations, leading…
We apply the formalism of quantum cosmology to models containing a phantom field. Three models are discussed explicitly: a toy model, a model with an exponential phantom potential, and a model with phantom field accompanied by a negative…
Cosmological models based on an asymmetric scalar Higgs doublet (canonical $\Phi$ and phantom $\phi$ fields) with potential interaction between the components are proposed. A qualitative analysis of the corresponding dynamic systems is…
