Abstract: | The dominance of dark energy in the universe has necessitated the introduction of a repulsive gravity source to make q0 negative. The models for dark energy range from a simple Λ term to quintessence, Chaplygin gas, etc. We look at the possibility
of how change of behaviour of missing energy density, from DM to DE, may be determined by the change in the equation of state
of a background fluid instead of a form of potential. The question of cosmic acceleration can be discussed within the framework
of theories which do not necessarily include scalar fields. |
