A Focused Review of Quintom Cosmology: From Quintom Dark Energy to Quintom Bounce

Abstract

The recently released data of DESI DR2 favors a dynamical dark energy theory, with the equation of state crossing the cosmological constant boundary $w=-1$. In this paper, we briefly review quintom cosmology, especially the quintom bounce. We will give three examples of a quintom bounce and one example of a cyclic universe with quintom matter.
