Abstract: | The generalized Chaplygin gas (GCG) model in spatially flat universe is investigated. The cosmological consequences led by
GCG model including the evolution of EoS parameter, deceleration parameter and dimensionless Hubble parameter are calculated.
We show that the GCG model behaves as a general quintessence model. The GCG model can also represent the pressureless CDM
model at the early time and cosmological constant model at the late time. The dependency of transition from decelerated expansion
to accelerated expansion on the parameters of model is investigated. The statefinder parameters r and s in this model are derived and the evolutionary trajectories in s–r plane are plotted. Finally, based on current observational data, we plot the evolutionary trajectories in s–r and q–r planes for best fit values of the parameters of GCG model. It has been shown that although, there are similarities between
GCG model and other forms of Chaplygin gas in statefinder plane, but the distance of this model from the ΛCDM fixed point
in s–r diagram is shorter compare with standard Chaplygin gas model. |
