Accelerated Universe from Modified Chaplygin Gas and Tachyonic Fluid

arXiv:hep-th/0205140 · doi:10.3390/universe8070340

Abstract

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 and find its self--interacting potential. Moreover motivated by recent works of Sen [sen1, sen2] and Padmanbhan [pad] on tachyon field theory, a map for this exotic fluid as a normal scalar field with Lagrangian to the tachyonic field with Lagrangian is obtained.
