An Alternative Approach to the Exact Solution of FRW-Type Spacetime with a Generalized Chaplygin Gas
arXiv:2502.07700 · doi:10.1016/j.dark.2025.101982
Abstract
The generalized Chaplygin gas model, characterized by the equation of state , is investigated within the framework of a Robertson-Walker spacetime. The resulting field equations governing this model are highly non-linear in the scale factor, forming the central focus of this work. Previous studies have employed this equation to describe both a dust-dominated universe and an accelerating universe in two extreme cases. However, the time evolution of the scale factor between these two extremal cases remains unclear. To address this gap, we have employed a first-order approximation of the key equation and subsequently derived exact time-dependent solutions for the scale factor. The obtained solution converges to the CDM model at large scale factors and exhibits the desirable feature of an acceleration flip. A detailed analysis of the flip time has been conducted, providing both analytical and graphical insights. The parameters of the model have been constrained using the Hubble- dataset. The present age of the universe has also been calculated. A comparison of the results from both the theoretical and observational approaches reveals remarkable consistency, with the theoretical graph of vs. closely aligning with the best-fit graph obtained from the Hubble- dataset. Furthermore, the entire scenario has been examined within the context of the well-known Raychaudhuri equation, offering a broader perspective and comparison with previous results.
