We study the interaction, in general curved spacetime, between a spinor and a scalar field describing dark energy; the so-called DE$_{ u}$ model in curved space. The dominant term is the dimension 5 operator, which results in different energy shifts for the neutrino states: an Aharonov-Bohm-like effect. We study the phenomenology of this term and make observational predictions to detect dark energy interactions in the laboratory due to its effect on neutrino oscillation experiments, which opens up the possibility of designing underground experiments to detect dark energy. This dimension 5 operator beyond the Standard Model interaction is less suppressed than the widely discussed dimension 6 operator, which corresponds to mass varying neutrinos; the dimension 5 operator does not suffer from gravitational instabilities.

Non-canonical scalar fields with the Lagrangian ${cal L} = X^alpha - V(phi)$, possess the attractive property that the speed of sound, $c_s^{2} = (2,alpha - 1)^{-1}$, can be exceedingly small for large values of $alpha$. This allows a non-canonical f
ield to cluster and behave like warm/cold dark matter on small scales. We demonstrate that simple potentials including $V = V_0coth^2{phi}$ and a Starobinsky-type potential can unify dark matter and dark energy. Cascading dark energy, in which the potential cascades to lower values in a series of discrete steps, can also work as a unified model. In all of these models the kinetic term $X^alpha$ plays the role of dark matter, while the potential term $V(phi)$ plays the role of dark energy.
In this work we explore some aspects of two holographic models for dark energy within the interacting scenario for the dark sector with the inclusion of spatial curvature. A statistical analysis for each holographic model is performed together with t
heir corresponding extensions given by the consideration of massive neutrinos. The first holographic approach considers the usual formula proposed by Li for the dark energy density with a constant parameter $c$ and for the second model we have a function $c(z)$ instead a constant parameter, this latter model is inspired in the apparent horizon. By considering the best fit values of the cosmological parameters we show that the interaction term for each holographic model, $Q$, keeps positive along the cosmic evolution and exhibits a future singularity for a finite value of the redshift, this is inherited from the Hubble parameter. The temperatures for the components of the dark sector are computed and have a growing behavior in both models. The cosmic evolution in this context it is not adiabatic and the second law it is fulfilled only under certain well-established conditions for the temperatures of the cosmic components and the interacting $Q$-term.
This talk discusses the relation between spacetime-dependent scalars, such as couplings or fields, and the violation of Lorentz symmetry. A specific cosmological supergravity model demonstrates how scalar fields can acquire time-dependent expectation
values. Within this cosmological background, excitations of these scalars are governed by a Lorentz-breaking dispersion relation. The model also contains couplings of the scalars to the electrodynamics sector leading to the time dependence of both the fine-structure parameter alpha and the theta angle. Through these couplings, the variation of the scalars is also associated with Lorentz- and CPT-violating effects in electromagnetism.
The $Lambda$-term in Einsteins equations is a fundamental building block of the `concordance $Lambda$CDM model of cosmology. Even though the model is not free of fundamental problems, they have not been circumvented by any alternative dark energy pro
posal either. Here we stick to the $Lambda$-term, but we contend that it can be a `running quantity in quantum field theory (QFT) in curved spacetime. A plethora of phenomenological works have shown that this option can be highly competitive with the $Lambda$CDM with a rigid cosmological term. The, so-called, `running vacuum models (RVMs) are characterized by the vacuum energy density, $rho_{vac}$, being a series of (even) powers of the Hubble parameter and its time derivatives. Such theoretical form has been motivated by general renormalization group arguments, which look plausible. Here we dwell further upon the origin of the RVM structure within QFT in FLRW spacetime. We compute the renormalized energy-momentum tensor with the help of the adiabatic regularization procedure and find that it leads essentially to the RVM form. This means that $rho_{vac}(H)$ evolves as a constant term plus dynamical components ${cal O}(H^2)$ and ${cal O}(H^4)$, the latter being relevant for the early universe only. However, the renormalized $rho_{vac}(H)$ does not carry dangerous terms proportional to the quartic power of the masses ($sim m^4$) of the fields, these terms being a well-known source of exceedingly large contributions. At present, $rho_{vac}(H)$ is dominated by the additive constant term accompanied by a mild dynamical component $sim u H^2$ ($| u|ll1$), which mimics quintessence.
The Averaged Null Energy Condition (ANEC) states that the integral along a complete null geodesic of the projection of the stress-energy tensor onto the tangent vector to the geodesic cannot be negative. ANEC can be used to rule out spacetimes with e
xotic phenomena, such as closed timelike curves, superluminal travel and wormholes. We prove that ANEC is obeyed by a minimally-coupled, free quantum scalar field on any achronal null geodesic (not two points can be connected with a timelike curve) surrounded by a tubular neighborhood whose curvature is produced by a classical source. To prove ANEC we use a null-projected quantum inequality, which provides constraints on how negative the weighted average of the renormalized stress-energy tensor of a quantum field can be. Starting with a general result of Fewster and Smith, we first derive a timelike projected quantum inequality for a minimally-coupled scalar field on flat spacetime with a background potential. Using that result we proceed to find the bound of a quantum inequality on a geodesic in a spacetime with small curvature, working to first order in the Ricci tensor and its derivatives. The last step is to derive a bound for the null-projected quantum inequality on a general timelike path. Finally we use that result to prove achronal ANEC in spacetimes with small curvature.
