Quasi-Rip: A New Type of Rip Model without Cosmic Doomsday
  The fate of our universe is an unceasing topic of cosmology and the human
being. The discovery of the current accelerated expansion of the universe
significantly changed our view of the fate of the universe. Recently, some
interesting scenarios concerning the fate of the universe attracted much
attention in the community, namely the so-called "Little Rip" and "Pseudo-Rip".
It is worth noting that all the Big Rip, Little Rip and Pseudo-Rip arise from
the assumption that the dark energy density $\rho(a)$ is monotonically
increasing. In the present work, we are interested to investigate what will
happen if this assumption is broken, and then propose a so-called "Quasi-Rip"
scenario, which is driven by a type of quintom dark energy. In this work, we
consider an explicit model of Quasi-Rip in detail. We show that Quasi-Rip has
an unique feature different from Big Rip, Little Rip and Pseudo-Rip. Our
universe has a chance to be rebuilt from the ashes after the terrible rip. This
might be the last hope in the "hopeless" rip.
