Explore the theoretical framework of dynamical dark energy through an ultralight axion model and its implications for the ultimate fate of our universe in this 47-minute conference talk. Delve into cutting-edge cosmological research that examines how ultralight axions could serve as candidates for dark energy, driving the accelerated expansion of the universe. Learn about the mathematical foundations underlying axion field dynamics and their potential role in cosmic evolution. Investigate the theoretical predictions for the lifespan of our universe under this model, including discussions of future cosmic scenarios and the long-term stability of spacetime. Gain insights into current observational constraints on axion dark energy models and their compatibility with existing cosmological data. Understand the broader implications of this research for our understanding of fundamental physics, including connections to string theory and quantum field theory in curved spacetime.
