Reconstruction of the dark energy scalar field potential by Gaussian process [CEA]

http://arxiv.org/abs/2305.04752


Dark energy is believed to be responsible for the acceleration of the universe. In this paper, we reconstruct the dark energy scalar field potential $V(\phi)$ using the Hubble parameter H(z) through Gaussian Process analysis. Our goal is to investigate dark energy using various H(z) datasets and priors. We find that the choice of prior has little effect on the reconstructed $V(\phi)$, but the choice of H(z) dataset has a significant impact. Our result shows that Observational H(z) data (OHD) produces better results in reconstructing $V(\phi)$ compared to cosmic chronometers (CC). Additionally, we simulate H(z) data to measure the effect of increasing the number of data points on the accuracy of reconstructed $V(\phi)$. We find that doubling the number of H(z) data points can improve the accuracy rate of reconstructed $V(\phi)$ by 5$\%$ to 30$\%$.
