Both scalar fields and (generalized) Chaplygin gases have been widely used separately to characterize the dark sector of the Universe. Here we investigate the cosmological background dynamics for a mixture of both these components and…
The hypothesis that dark matter and dark energy are unified through the Chaplygin gas is reexamined. Using generalizations of the spherical model which incorporate effects of the acoustic horizon we show that an initially perturbative…

We exploit the gauge-invariant formalism to analyse the perturbative behaviour of two cosmological models based on the generalized Chaplygin gas describing both dark matter and dark energy in the present Universe. In the first model we…

We clarify thermodynamics of the Chaplygin gas by introducing the integrability condition. All thermal quantities are derived as functions of either volume or temperature. Importantly, we find a new general equation of state, describing the…
Cosmology and astroparticle physics give strongest possible evidence for the incompleteness of the Standard Model of particle physics. Leaving aside misterious dark energy, which may or may not be just the cosmological constant, two…
One approach in modern cosmology consists in supposing that dark matter and dark energy are different manifestations of a single `quartessential' fluid. Following such idea, this work presents a study of the evolution of perturbations of…
In a recent paper we showed that a quintessence scalar field plus a dissipative matter fluid can drive late cosmic accelerated expansion and simultaneously solve the coincidence problem [1]. In this brief report we extend this result to the…
In the past few years, the Chaplygin gas (CG) has been considered as an appealing candidate for unifying dark matter and dark energy into a single substance. This picture had to face several problems when trying to fit its predictions with…

The hidden scalar field, which couples to the visible sector only through Planck-suppressed interactions, is a candidate for dark matter owing to its long lifetime. Decay of such a scalar field offers observational tests of this scenario.…
Cosmology is living through fascinating times, where new observations from ground and space telescopes are questioning the established paradigm, the so-called Lambda Cold Dark Matter model. The particle nature of Dark Matter is severely…
