We consider a dynamical model for dark energy based on an ultralight mass scalar field with very large-scale inhomogeneities. This model may cause observable impacts on the anisotropic properties of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) intensity and luminosity distance. We formulate the model as the cosmological perturbations of the superhorizon scales, focusing on the local region of our universe. Moreover, we investigated the characteristic properties of the late-time evolution of inhomogeneous dark energy. Our numerical solutions show that the model can mimic the standard ΛCDM cosmology while including spatially dependent dark energy with flexible ranges of the model parameters. We put a constraint on the amplitude of these inhomogeneities of the dark energy on very large scales with the observations of the CMB anisotropies. We also discuss their influence on the estimation of the luminosity distance. also indicate that (cid:101) r is not important for the background expansion, while Ω m does show its expected influence on η 0 . To see this, we focus on comparing the conditions of the models labeled with Nos. (1), (3), (4), (6), and (11), where different values of (cid:101) r rarely change η 0 ; on the other hand, a comparison among Nos. (1), (13), and (14) shows a slight dependence of η 0 on Ω m , as expected. Especially, No. (11) is a model extremely close to the ΛCDM model, and the EoS of dark energy is almost constant w φ ≈ − 1, predicting a future evolution quickly approaching the de Sitter expansion. − 5 , (97) at the redshift z = 3 for all models in Table I. V. DISCUSSIONS AND CONCLUSIONS We formulated a cosmological model with inhomogeneous dark energy sourced from a dynamical scalar field with extremely large-scale fluctuations, by handling them as cosmological perturbations to a homogeneous background to focus on a local observable universe. This model is capable of reproducing an observable universe that mimics the ΛCDM flat universe favored by the observations but with inhomogeneity and anisotropy of small amplitudes on very large scales. We investigated the basic equations governing the evolution of the universe for the
