Our universe is observed to be accelerating due to the dominant dark energy with negative pressure. The dark energy equation of state (w) holds a key to understanding the ultimate fate of the universe. The cosmic voids behave like bubbles in the universe so that their shapes must be quite sensitive to the background cosmology. Assuming a flat universe and using the priors on the matter density parameter (Omega_m) and the dimensionless Hubble parameter (h), we demonstrate analytically that the ellipticity evolution of cosmic voids may be a sensitive probe of the dark energy equation of state. We also discuss the parameter degeneracy between w and Omega_m.

  1. Cosmic voids evolution in modified gravity via hydrodynamics

    astro-ph.CO 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Voids in luminal Galileon gravity are always unscreened, and a reality requirement on the fifth force rules out ~82% of the favored parameter space, yielding a redshift-dependent minimum void depth.

  2. Void spin distribution as a powerful probe of $\sigma_{8}$

    astro-ph.CO 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Void spin distributions, fitted by a generalized Gamma function, are shown in simulations to vary sensitively with sigma8 but not with Omega_cdm h^2, neutrino mass, or dark energy equation of state, offering a new deg...
