Exponential Quintessence: Analytic Relationship Between the Current Equation of State Parameter and the Potential Parameter
Abstract
Motivated by the indications of time-varying dark energy equation of state reported from DESI, we investigate a quintessence model with an exponential potential V0 e−λϕ/mpl. We derive an analytical relationship between the current equation of state parameter for the quintessence field and the potential parameter λ required to realize radiation and matter domination. Our results provide a useful analytical relation for inferring the potential parameter λ from the observed current equation of state parameter. Furthermore, based on this framework, we provide a new approximate analytical upper bound on the potential parameter λ for current accelerated expansion. Concretely, we obtain λ<1.94 as an approximate analytic estimate by adopting Ωϕ0=0.685.
