A Higher-Derivative Hubble Parameter Dark Energy Model: Cosmological Analysis and Scalar Field Correspondence

Abstract

In this work, we study a Dark Energy (DE) energy density model which depends on the Hubble parameter squared $H^2$ and on its first, second and third time derivatives $\dot{H}$, $\ddot{H}$ and $\dddot{H}$. Considering a scale factor $a$ with a power-law dependence on the time (with $n$ indicating the power-law index), we obtain some important cosmological quantities as function of the , like the energy densities of Matter $\rho_m$ and of DE $\rho_D$, the fractional energy densities of DM $\Omega_m$ and of DE $\Omega_D$, the Hubble parameter squared $H^2$, the deceleration parameter $q$, the evolutionary form of the fractional energy density of DE $\Omega'_D$, the pressure of DE $p_D$ and the Equation of State (EoS) parameter of DE $\omega_D$, for both non interacting and interacting cases. For the interacting case, we consider 9 different interacting term $Q$, all functions of the Hubble parameter $H$ and/or of $\rho_m$ and $\rho_D$. Finally, we establish a correspondence between the DE model we study and some scalar field theories, including tachyon, k-essence, quintessence, Yang-Mills (YM) and Nonlinear Electrodynamics (NLED) fields.
