Ghost scalar field dark energy models from an extended Kaluza–Klein perspective

Abstract

Abstract Reconstruction process of scalar field models (quintessence, tachyon, dilaton and K-essence), which can be performed by making use of some dark energy density definitions such as holographic, Ricci, new agegraphic and ghost types proposals, has been an interesting and very attractive area to many physicists in literature. In this work, in a five-dimensional framework, we establish a correspondence between the quintessence, tachyon and the dilaton type scalar field definitions and the generalized ghost dark energy model by considering the extended form of the Kaluza–Klein (EKK) gravity. Accordingly, we numerically study the associated equation of state parameters, as well as their kinetic energy and scalar potential terms.
