Abstract

The reconstruction of the dark energy model has been studied widely. The dark energy model can be reconstructed from the parametrized Hubble parameter. The parametrized equation of state of the dark energy can be got by fitting the data sets from observations, so the dark energy model can also be reconstructed from the parametrized equation of state. In chapter 3, we introduce the reconstruction of the dark energy model detailedly. This thesis consists of four chapters.General relativity and the "Cosmological Principle" are the two theoretical pillars of the big bang cosmology. In chapter 1, we introduce the basic equations for the studies of the dark energy - the differential equations for the scale factor and the continuity equation, which are all derived from the "two pillars".In chapter 2, we introduce the observational evidences for the dark energy and some dark energy models, i.e. ∧CDM model, scalar field models, which are introduced to try to explain the nature of the dark energy. The ∧CDM model is a simple one, which can give the equation of state of the dark energy ω = - 1. Although this model can fit almost all data sets from observations, it has two serous problems - "fine-tuning problem" and "coincidence problem". The ω for the scalar field model is not a constant but evolves with the redshift z. Some scalar field models can give ω > - 1, some can give ω < - 1, and some even can give ω crossing -1. Quintessence, k-essence, tachyon, phantom, quintom models are mentioned in this chapter.In chapter 3, firstly we introduce the details of the method of reconstructing the dark energy model from Hubble parameter. Then we introduce the parametrization of the equation of state of the dark energy and the reconstructions of three dark energy models - quintessence field, k-essence field, tachyon field. The reconstruction of the tachyon model is our work. Using the method developed by Guo et al [52], we reconstruct the potential of the tachyon from the equation of state of the dark energy ω_φ(z). The shapes of the potentials of the tachyon field are numerically reproduced for four typical parametrized models. We find that for these four models, the potentials are all monotonous and possess the same asymptotic behavior at the low redshift.In the last chapter, we make some conclusions, and then introduce the work that
