Reconstructing sign-switching dark energy histories: Scalar-field regularity, conditional potential comparison, and representative dynamics

Shahnawaz A. Adil, Özgür Akarsu, Mariam Bouhmadi-López +3

Phenomenologically similar sign-switching dark-energy histories need not have comparable scalar-field realizations. We reconstruct minimally coupled scalars with fixed kinetic sign…

Dissipative Cosmology and the Nature of Dark Energy: Insights from Bulk Viscosity with DESI DR2 observations

Shahnawaz A. Adil, Sonej Alam, Somasri Sen +1

We explore a cosmological model in which dark energy is described by a bulk viscous fluid, providing a dissipative mechanism for late-time cosmic acceleration. Considering both min…

Background-level reconstruction of scalar-field potentials from dark-energy histories and comparison with analytic potential families

Shahnawaz A. Adil, Miguel A. Zapata, Özgür Akarsu +1

We present a unified \emph{background-level} framework that maps a prescribed late-time dark-energy density history onto an effective scalar-field description in a…

How Holographic is the Dark Energy? A Spline Nodal reconstruction approach

Miguel A. Zapata, Gabriela Garcia-Arroyo, Shahnawaz A. Adil +1

In this work, we explore the generalized holographic dark energy (HDE) scenario. We relate the HDE density to the future-horizon scale via a non-parametric function, which is recon…

Exploring the Growth-Index () Tension with CDM

Luis A. Escamilla, Özgür Akarsu, Eleonora Di Valentino +2

Recent observational analyses have revealed a significant tension in the growth index , which characterizes the growth rate of cosmic structures. Specifically, when treating …

Cosmological constraints on CDM scenario in a type II minimally modified gravity

Özgür Akarsu, Antonio De Felice, Eleonora Di Valentino +5

The idea of a rapid sign-switching cosmological constant (mirror AdS-dS transition) in the late universe at , known as the CDM model, has significantly improve…

Testing an oscillatory behavior of dark energy

Luis A. Escamilla, Supriya Pan, Eleonora Di Valentino +3

The main aim of this work is to use a model-independent approach, along with late-time observational probes, to reconstruct the dark energy (DE) equation of state .…

CDM cosmology from a type-II minimally modified gravity

Özgür Akarsu, Antonio De Felice, Eleonora Di Valentino +5

We integrate CDM, a promising scenario for alleviating cosmological tensions, into VCDM, a type-II minimally modified gravity. This promotes the scenario to a fully pred…

Screening in a new modified gravity model

Ozgur Akarsu, John D. Barrow, Charles V. R. Board +2

We study a new model of Energy-Momentum Squared Gravity (EMSG), called Energy-Momentum Log Gravity (EMLG), constructed by the addition of the term $f(T_{μν}T^{μν})=α\ln(λ\,T_{μν}T^…

Anisotropic massive Brans-Dicke gravity extension of the standard CDM model

Ozgur Akarsu, Nihan Katirci, Nese Ozdemir +1

We present an explicit detailed theoretical and observational investigation of an anisotropic massive Brans-Dicke (BD) gravity extension of the standard CDM model, wherein the e…

A divergence-free parametrization for dynamical dark energy

Ozgur Akarsu, Tekin Dereli, J. Alberto Vazquez

We introduce a new parametrization for the dark energy, led by the same idea to the linear expansion of the equation of state in scale factor and in redshift , which diverge…
