Alternative dark energy theories allow the equation of state parameter w to differ from -1
Alternative dark energy frameworks, such as quintessence, quintom, and alpha-attractor models, explicitly permit the dark energy equation of state parameter w to deviate from the cosmological constant value of -1.
Multiple theoretical and observational studies confirm that alternative dark energy models accommodate an equation of state parameter w that differs from -1, aligning with recent observational hints from datasets like DESI.
