New generic evolution for -essence dark energy with
Abstract
We reexamine k-essence dark energy models with a scalar field Φ and a factorized Lagrangian, L = V (φ)F(X), with X = $$1\over{2}$$∇µΦ∇µΦ. A value of the equation of state parameter, w, near -1 requires either X ≈ 0 or dF/dX ≈ 0. Previous work showed that thawing models with X ≈ 0 evolve along a set of unique trajectories for w(a), while those with dF/dX ≈ 0 can result in a variety of different forms for w(a). We show that if dV /dΦ is small and (1/V )(dV /dΦ) is roughly constant, then the latter models also converge toward a single unique set of behaviors for w(a), different from those with X ≈ 0. We derive the functional form for w(a) in this case, determine the conditions on V (Φ) for which it applies, and present observational constraints on this new class of models. We note that k-essence models with dF/dX ≈ 0 correspond to a dark energy sound speed c$$2\atop{s}$$ ≈ 0.
