Holographic dark energy with the sign-changeable interaction term

Abstract

We use three infrared (IR) cutoffs, including the future event horizon, the Hubble and Granda–Oliveros (GO) cutoffs, to construct three holographic models of dark energy (DE). Additionally, we consider a Friedmann–Robertson–Walker (FRW) universe filled by a dark matter (DM) and a DE that interact with each other through a mutual sign-changeable interaction with positive coupling constant. Thereinafter, we address the evolution of the some cosmological parameters, such as the equation of state (EoS) and dimensionless density parameters of DE as well as the deceleration parameter, during the cosmic evolution from the matter-dominated era until the late-time acceleration. We observe that a holographic dark energy (HDE) model with Hubble cutoff interacting with DM cannot be in line with the current universe. Our study shows that models with the future event horizon as the IR cutoff or the GO cutoff are in good agreement with the observational data. In fact, we find out that these two recent models can predict the universe transition from a deceleration phase to the acceleration one in a compatible way with observations. The three obtained models may also allow the EoS parameter to cross the phantom line, a result which depends on the values of the system’s constants such as the value of the interaction coupling constant.
