چکیده
We explicitly demonstrate that, contrary to recent claims, the dynamics of a generalized Chaplygin gas model with an equation of state p = −C (where C is a positive constant) is equivalent to that of a standard ΛCDM model to first order in the metric perturbations. We further argue that the analogy between the two models goes well beyond linear theory and conclude that they cannot be distinguished based on gravity alone.

The possibility that the present acceleration of the universe is driven by a kind of viscous fluid is exploited. At background level this model is similar to the generalized Chaplygin gas model (GCGM). But, at perturbative level, the viscous fluid exhibits interesting properties. In particular the oscillations in the power spectrum that plagues the GCGM are not present. Possible fundamental des...

The generalized Chaplygin gas model is characterized by the equation of state p = − A ρ . It is generally stated that the case α = 0 is equivalent to a model with cosmological constant and dust (ΛCDM). In this work we show that, if this is true for the background equations, this is not true for the perturbation equations. Hence, the mass spectrum predicted for both models may differ. PACS numbe...

The generalized Chaplygin gas is characterized by the equation of state p = −A/ρ, with α > −1 and w > −1. We generalize this model to allow for the cases where α < −1 or w < −1. This generalization leads to three new versions of the generalized Chaplygin gas: an early phantom model in which w ≪ −1 at early times and asymptotically approaches w = −1 at late times, a late phantom model with w ≈ −...

In this paper we show that a one-to-one correspondence exists between any dark energy model and an equivalent (from a cosmological point of view, in the absence of perturbations) quartessence model in which dark matter and dark energy are described by a single perfect fluid. We further show that if the density fluctuations are small, the evolution of the sound speed squared, c2s, is fully coupl...
