Power spectrum in the Chaplygin gas model: tachyonic, fluid and scalar field representations
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Chaplygin gas model, characterized by an equation of state of the type p = − ρ emerges naturally from the Nambu-Goto action of string theory. This fluid representation can be recast under the form of a tachyonic field given by a Born-Infeld type Lagrangian. At the same time, the Chaplygin gas equation of state can be obtained from a self-interacting scalar field. We show that, from the point of view of the supernova type Ia data, the three representations (fluid, tachyonic, scalar field) lead to the same results. However, concerning the matter power spectra, while the fluid and tachyonic descriptions lead to exactly the same results, the selfinteracting scalar field representation implies different statistical estimations for the parameters. In particular, the estimation for the dark matter density parameter in the fluid representation favors a universe dominated almost completely by dark matter, while in the self-interacting scalar field representation the prediction is very closed to that obtained in the ΛCDM model.

Accelerated Universe from Modified Chaplygin Gas and Tachyonic Fluid
A cosmological model with an exotic fluid is investigated. We show that the equation of state of this “modified Chaplygin” gas can describe the current accelerated expansion of the universe. We then reexpress it as FRW cosmological model containing a scalar field φ and find its self–interacting potential. Moreover motivated by recent works of Sen [5, 6] and Padmanbhan [13] on tachyon field theo...

متن کاملVariable Chaplygin Gas
We consider a variable Chaplygin gas model, which is characterized by an exotic equation of state, P = −A(a)/ρ, where A(a) is a positive function of the scale factor. By assuming a power-law function A(a) we find that the variable Chaplygin gas evolves as from dust to quiessence. We show that the model is consistent with current type Ia supernova data for a broad range of parameters. ∗e-mail ad...

The recent observation of accelerated expansion of the universe, concluded [1] from the study of luminosity of type Ia distant supernova, has put Cosmology in the center stage. Our inability to explain the origin of this expansion has led to the naming of this phenomenon as ”Dark Energy” effect. The coinage obviously matches the other fuzzy area in Cosmology, i.e. the existence of ”Dark Matter”...
