Phantom energy: dark energy with w <--1 causes a cosmic doomsday.

We explore the consequences that follow if the dark energy is phantom energy, in which the sum of the pressure and energy density is negative. The positive phantom-energy density becomes infinite in finite time, overcoming all other forms of matter, such that the gravitational repulsion rapidly brings our brief epoch of cosmic structure to a close. The phantom energy rips apart the Milky Way, s...

Avoiding the dark energy coincidence problem with a cosmic vector

We show that vector theories on cosmological scales are excellent candidates for dark energy. We consider two different examples, both are theories with no dimensional parameters nor potential terms, with natural initial conditions in the early universe and the same number of free parameters as ΛCDM. The first one exhibits scaling behaviour during radiation and a strong phantom phase today, end...

Cosmology with Interaction between Phantom Dark Energy and Dark Matter and the Coincidence Problem

We study a cosmological model in which phantom dark energy has an interaction with dark matter by introducing a term in the equations of motion of dark energy and dark matter. Such a term is parameterized by a product of a dimensionless coupling function δ, Hubble parameter and the energy density of dark matter, and it manifests an energy flow between the dark energy and dark matter. We discuss...

Dark energy, dissipation and the coincidence problem

Luis P. Chimento, Alejandro S. Jakubi, and Diego Pavón Departamento de F́ısica, Universidad de Buenos Aires, 1428 Buenos Aires, Argentina Departamento de F́ısica, Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona, 08193 Bellaterra, Spain Abstract In a recent paper we showed that a quintessence scalar field plus a dissipative matter fluid can drive late cosmic accelerated expansion and simultaneously solve the co...

The Coincidence Problem in YM Field Dark Energy Models

The coincidence problem is one of the most troubles for the dark energy models, which has been gracefully answered in the quintessence and k-essence models with tracking solutions. In this letter, we study this problem in the Yang-Mills (YM) field dark energy models, and find that it is also naturally avoided in this kind of models: no matter what kind of initial condition the YM fields have, a...
