abstract

We study a dark energy scenario in the presence of a tachyon field $\phi$ with potential $V(\phi)$ and a barotropic perfect fluid. The cosmological dynamics crucially depends on the asymptotic behavior of the quantity $\lambda=-M_pV_\phi/V^{3/2}$. If $\lambda$ is a constant, which corresponds to an inverse square potential $V(\phi) \propto \phi^{-2}$, there exists one stable critical point that gives an acceleration of the universe at late times. When $\lambda \to 0$ asymptotically, we can have a viable dark energy scenario in which the system approaches an ``instantaneous'' critical point that dynamically changes with $\lambda$. If $|\lambda|$ approaches infinity asymptotically, the universe does not exhibit an acceleration at late times. In this case, however, we find an interesting possibility that a transient acceleration occurs in a regime where $|\lambda|$ is smaller than of order unity.

  1. Kinetic coupled tachyon: A dynamical system analysis

    gr-qc 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A kinetically coupled tachyon dark energy model admits a new stable scaling attractor for a range of coupling and potential parameters, providing a mechanism to keep dark energy and dark matter densities comparable.

  2. Cosmology in symmetric teleparallel gravity and its dynamical system

    gr-qc 2019-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    In f(Q) symmetric teleparallel gravity, accelerating expansion is geometric; dynamical analysis of f(Q)=Q+αQ² yields five critical points with stable de Sitter (P4) and matter-dominated (P5) attractors.

  3. An overview of what current data can (and cannot yet) say about evolving dark energy

    astro-ph.CO 2025-02 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    The apparent preference for evolving dark energy depends strongly on which supernova catalog and which BAO survey are used, and is not robust across all independent data combinations.
