Abstract

We investigate the generalized Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) ghost model of dark energy in the framework of Einstein gravity. First, we study the non-interacting generalized ghost dark energy in a flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) background. We obtain the equation of state parameter, wD=p/ρw_D=p/\rho, the deceleration parameter, and the evolution equation of the generalized ghost dark energy. We find that, in this case, wDw_D cannot cross the phantom line (wD>1w_D>-1) and eventually the universe approaches a de-Sitter phase of expansion (wD1)(w_D\rightarrow-1). Then, we extend the study to the interacting ghost dark energy in both a flat and non-flat FRW universe. We find that the equation of state parameter of the interacting generalized ghost dark energy can cross the phantom line (wD<1w_D<-1) provided the parameters of the model are chosen suitably. Finally, we constrain the model parameters by using the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method and a combined dataset of SNIa, CMB, BAO and X-ray gas mass fraction.
