1. Introduction
The fact that neutrinos have masses [
1,
2] has drawn significant attention from physicists. The squared mass difference between different neutrino species have been measured, i.e.,
in solar and reactor experiments, and
in atmospheric and accelerator beam experiments [
2]. The possible mass hierarchies of neutrinos are
and
, which are called the normal hierarchy (NH) and the inverted hierarchy (IH). When the mass splittings between different neutrino species are neglected, we treat the case as the degenerate hierarchy (DH) with
.
Some famous particle physics experiments, such as tritium beta decay experiments [
3,
4,
5,
6] and neutrinoless double beta decay (0
) experiments [
7,
8], have been designed to measure the absolute masses of neutrinos. Recently, the Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino (KATRIN) experiment provided an upper limit of
eV on the neutrino-mass scale at
confidence level (C.L.) [
9]. However, cosmological observations are considered to be a more promising approach to measure the total neutrino mass
. Massive neutrinos can leave rich imprints on the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies and the large-scale structure (LSS) formation in the evolution of the universe. Thus, the total neutrino mass
is likely to be measured from these available cosmological observations.
In the standard
cold dark matter (
CDM) model with the equation-of-state parameter of dark energy
, the Planck Collaboration gave
eV (
) [
10] from the full Planck TT, TE, EE power spectra data, assuming the NH case with the minimal mass
eV (
). Adding the Planck CMB lensing data slightly tightens the constraints to
eV (
). When the baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) data are considered on the basis of the Planck data, the neutrino mass constraint is significantly tightened to
eV (
). Further adding the type Ia supernovae (SNe) data marginally lowers the bound to
eV (
), which put pressure on the inverted mass hierarchy with
eV.
The impacts of dynamical dark energy on the total neutrino mass have been investigated in past studies [
11,
12,
13,
14,
15,
16,
17,
18,
19,
20,
21,
22,
23,
24,
25,
26,
27,
28,
29,
30,
31,
32,
33,
34,
35,
36,
37]. In the simplest dynamical dark energy model with
(abbreviated as
wCDM model), the fitting results of
are
eV (
) and
eV (
) [
33], using the full Planck TT, TE, EE power spectra data and the BAO data as well as the SNe data. From the same data combination,
eV (
) and
eV (
) [
33] in the holographic dark energy (HDE) model [
38,
39,
40,
41,
42,
43,
44,
45]. The constraint results of
are different from those in the standard
CDM model because of impacts of dark energy properties in these cosmological models.
In addition to the
wCDM model and the HDE model, the constraints on
are investigated in the CPL model [
46,
47] with
(where
and
are two free parameters). Over the years, the CPL parametrization have been widely used and explored extensively. In the model,
eV (
) and
eV (
) [
33] are obtained by using the full Planck TT, TE, EE power spectra data combined the BAO data with the SNe data. The upper limit values of
are larger than those in the
wCDM model and the HDE model, confirming that the constraint results of
can be changed as the different parametrization forms of
w. The CPL model has a drawback that it only explores the past expansion history, but cannot describe the future evolution. Thus the CPL parametrization does not genuinely cover the scalar field models as well as other theoretical models. Such a problem makes the fitting results of
untenable in the CPL model.
In this paper, we focus on two novel forms of
, i.e., the logarithm parametrization
and the oscillating parametrization
[
48], which are correspondingly called the Log model and the Sin model. They can inherit the advantages of the CPL model and explore the whole evolution history of the universe properly. In our present work, the constraints on
will be investigated in the two models. In fact, there are also some other dark energy parametrizations, such as the Jassal-Bagla-Padmanabhan parametrization [
49] and the Barboza-Alcaniz parametrization [
50] with the same free parameters
and
. They will be explored with other research motivations in our future work.
On the other hand, in order to better match the current observational result of , we assume the case of in the CPL parametrization, the logarithm parametrization, and the oscillating parametrization. The forms of in these models are modified as , , and with a free parameter . We call them the MCPL model, the MLog model, and the MSin model. We also investigate the constraints on them using the same mainstream observational data.
In our work, we first constrain on the Log parametrization and the Sin parametrization by using latest mainstream observational data. Then, we investigate impacts of the dark energy properties on neutrino mass. This paper is organized as follows. In Sect.
2, we provide a brief description of the data and method used in our work. In Sect.
3, we show the constraint results of different dynamical dark energy models and discuss the physical meaning behind these results. At last, we make some important conclusions in Sect.

2. Data and method
Throughout this paper, we only employ the data combination of the CMB data, the BAO data, and the SNe data, which is abbreviated as the CMB+BAO+SNe data. The usage of the data combination facilitates to make a comparison with the results derived from Refs. [
10,
14,
33], in which this typical data combination has also been used to constrain cosmological models. For the CMB data, we use the Planck 2018 temperature and polarization power spectra data at the whole multipole ranges, together with the CMB latest lensing power spectrum data [
10]. For the BAO data, we use the 6dFGS and SDSS-MGS measurements of
[
51,
52] plus the final DR12 anisotropic BAO measurements [
53]. For the SNe data, we use the “Pantheon” sample [
54], which contains 1048 supernovae covering the redshift range of
.
For the dynamical dark energy models with the CPL parametrization, logarithm, and oscillating parametrizations, they all have eight free parameters, i.e., the present baryons density
, the present cold dark matter density
, an approximation to the angular diameter distance of the sound horizon at the decoupling epoch
, the reionization optical depth
, the amplitude of the primordial scalar power spectrum
at
, the primordial scalar spectral index
, and the model parameters
and
. The priors of these parameters are shown explicitly in the
Table 1. When
is fixed, there are seven free parameters in the MCPL, MLog, and MSin models.
We consider the case that
serves as a free parameter with different hierarchies of neutrino mass. For the NH, IH, and DH cases, the priors of
are
eV,
eV, and
eV. The neutrino mass spectrum is described as
with a free parameter
for the NH case,
with a free parameter
for the IH case, and
with a free parameter
m for the DH case.
In order to check the consistency between dynamical dark energy models and the CMB+BAO+SNe data, we employ the
statistic [
55,
56,
57] to do the cosmological fits. A model with a lower value of
is more favored by the CMB+BAO+SNe data combination. Our constraint results are derived by modifying the August 2017 version of the
camb Boltzmann code [
58] and the July 2018 version of
CosmoMC [
59].
4. Conclusions
In this paper, we constrain three dynamical dark energy models parameterized by two free parameters, and . They correspond to the CPL parametrization, the logarithm parametrization, and the oscillating parametrization. The difference from the CPL model is that the logarithm parametrization and the oscillating parametrization can overcome the future divergency problem, and successfully probe the dynamics of dark energy in all the evolution stages of the universe. We constrain these dynamical dark energy models by using current cosmological observations including the CMB data, the BAO data, and the SNe data. We find that the Log model and the Sin model behave as the same as the CPL model in the fit to the CMB+BAO+SNe data.
We investigate the constraints on the total neutrino mass in these dynamical dark energy. Simultaneously, we consider the NH case, the IH case, and the DH case of three-generation neutrino mass. We confirm the fact that the different neutrino mass hierarchies can affect the constraint results of significantly. The smallest fitting value of is obtained in the DH case, and the largest value of corresponds to the IH case. We reconfirm that the dark energy properties could indeed significantly change the fitting results of . The values of in the Log and Sin models are larger than those derived from the CPL model. In addition, our results does not provide more evidence for determining the neutrino mass orderings because of the similar values of obtained for different neutrino mass hierarchies.
