Cosmic evolution driven by a generalized logarithmic dark energy equation of state

I investigate a dynamical dark energy model based on a generalized logarithmic equation of state, derived from a canonical scalar field Lagrangian and extending the Ma–Zhang parametrization via two parameters [Formula: see text]. Fixing [Formula: see text], I compute the cosmic time–redshift relation [Formula: see text] by numerically evaluating the integral [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] follows from the Friedmann equation and a redshift-dependent [Formula: see text].

Abstract

I investigate a dynamical dark energy model based on a generalized logarithmic equation of state, derived from a canonical scalar field Lagrangian and extending the Ma–Zhang parametrization via two parameters [Formula: see text]. Fixing [Formula: see text], I compute the cosmic time–redshift relation [Formula: see text] by numerically evaluating the integral [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] follows from the Friedmann equation and a redshift-dependent [Formula: see text]. I reconstruct the scalar field dynamics [Formula: see text] and potential [Formula: see text] corresponding to this phenomenological input, and calculate the evolution of key cosmological quantities including [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. Using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling, I constrain the model against observational data for [Formula: see text], recovering posterior distributions for [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. I further analyze the onset of future singularities and the coincidence problem, noting that the current age of the universe may lie near the midpoint to a big rip. Perturbative stability is confirmed within the parameter space considered. The framework provides a flexible and physically consistent approach to modeling evolving dark energy within a scalar field theory.
