Affine parameterization of the dark sector: costraints from WMAP5 and SDSS
Davide Pietrobon, Amedeo Balbi, Marco Bruni +1
We study a set of universe models where the dark sector is described by a perfect fluid with an affine equation of state , focusing specifically on cosmological perturbat…

Affine equation of state from quintessence and k-essence fields
Claudia Quercellini, Marco Bruni, Amedeo Balbi
We explore the possibility that a scalar field with appropriate Lagrangian can mimic a perfect fluid with an affine barotropic equation of state. The latter can be thought of as a…
