Abstract

We propose an interacting holographic tachyon model of dark energy. A correspondence between the tachyon energy density and the interacting holographic dark energy is established. As a result, we reconstruct the potential of the interacting holographic tachyon field and the dynamics of the tachyon field, in a flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker background. We show that the evolution of the universe for -1 < w < 0 can be completely described by the resulting interacting tachyon model. © 2010 IOP Publishing Ltd.
