Abstract
Scalar fields are favorite among the possible candidates for the dark energy. Most frequently discussed are those with degenerate minima at [Formula: see text]. In this paper, a slightly modified two-Higgs doublet model is taken to contain the Higgs field(s) as the dark energy candidate(s). The model considered has two nondegenerate minima at [Formula: see text], instead of one degenerate minimum at [Formula: see text]. The component fields of one SU(2) doublet ([Formula: see text]) act as the standard model (SM) Higgs, while the component fields of the second doublet ([Formula: see text]) are taken to be the dark energy candidates (lying in the true vacuum). It is found that one can arrange for late time acceleration (dark energy) by using an SU(2) Higgs doublet, whose vacuum expectation value is zero, in the quintessential regime.
