Abstract

By means of a combined use of the type Ia supernovae and H(z) data tests, together with the study of the asymptotic properties in the equivalent phase space — through the use of the dynamical systems tools — we demonstrate that the bulk viscous matter-dominated scenario is not a good model to explain the accepted cosmological paradigm, at least, under the parametrization of bulk viscosity considered in this paper. The main objection against such scenarios is the absence of conventional radiation and matter-dominated critical points in the phase space of the model. This entails that radiation and matter dominance are not generic solutions of the cosmological equations, so that these stages can be implemented only by means of unique and very specific initial conditions, i. e., of very unstable particular solutions. Such a behavior is in marked contradiction with the accepted cosmological paradigm which requires of an earlier stage dominated by relativistic species, followed by a period of conventional non-relativistic matter domination, during which the cosmic structure we see was formed. Also, we found that the bulk viscosity is positive just until very late times in the cosmic evolution, around z < 1. For earlier epochs it is negative, beenmore »« less

Viscous dissipative Chaplygin gas dominated homogenous and isotropic cosmological models

Journal Article Pun, C; Mak, M; Harko, T; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

The generalized Chaplygin gas, which interpolates between a high density relativistic era and a nonrelativistic matter phase, is a popular dark energy candidate. We consider a generalization of the Chaplygin gas model, by assuming the presence of a bulk viscous type dissipative term in the effective thermodynamic pressure of the gas. The dissipative effects are described by using the truncated Israel-Stewart model, with the bulk viscosity coefficient and the relaxation time functions of the energy density only. The corresponding cosmological dynamics of the bulk viscous Chaplygin gas dominated universe is considered in detail for a flat homogeneous isotropic Friedmann-Robertson-Walker geometry.more »« less

Bulk viscosity, decaying dark matter, and the cosmic acceleration

Journal Article Wilson, James; Mathews, Grant; Fuller, George - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

We discuss a cosmology in which cold dark matter particles decay into relativistic particles. We argue that such decays could lead naturally to a bulk viscosity in the cosmic fluid. For decay lifetimes comparable to the present Hubble age, this bulk viscosity enters the cosmic energy equation as an effective negative pressure. We investigate whether this negative pressure is of sufficient magnitude to account for the observed cosmic acceleration. We show that a single decaying species in a {lambda}=0, flat, dark-matter dominated cosmology can not reproduce the observed magnitude-redshift relation from Type Ia supernovae. However, a delayed bulk viscosity, possiblymore »« less

Late decaying dark matter, bulk viscosity, and the cosmic acceleration

Journal Article Mathews, G; Kolda, C; Lan, N - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

We discuss a cosmology in which cold dark matter begins to decay into relativistic particles at a recent epoch (z<1). We show that the large entropy production and associated bulk viscosity from such decays leads to an accelerating cosmology as required by observations. We investigate the effects of decaying cold dark matter in a {lambda}=0, flat, initially matter dominated cosmology. We show that this model satisfies the cosmological constraint from the redshift-distance relation for type Ia supernovae. The age in such models is also consistent with the constraints from the oldest stars and globular clusters. Possible candidates for this latemore »« less

Bulk Viscosity, Decaying Dark Matter, and the Cosmic Acceleration

Journal Article Wilson, J; Mathews, G; Fuller, G - Physical Review D, vol. 75, N/A, December 1, 2007, pp. 043521

The authors discuss a cosmology in which cold dark-matter particles decay into relativistic particles. They argue that such decays could lead naturally to a bulk viscosity in the cosmic fluid. for decay lifetimes comparable to the present hubble age, this bulk viscosity enters the cosmic energy equation as an effective negative pressure. They investigate whether this negative pressure is of sufficient magnitude to account for the observed cosmic acceleration. They show that a single decaying species in a {Lambda} = 0, flat, dark-matter dominated cosmology can not reproduce the observed magnitude-redshift relation from Type Ia supernovae.

Probing bulk viscous matter-dominated models with gamma-ray bursts

Journal Article Montiel, A. - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

In this paper we extend the range of consistency of a constant bulk viscosity model to redshifts up to z ∼ 8.1. In this model the dark sector of the cosmic substratum is a viscous fluid with pressure p = −ζθ, where θ is the fluid-expansion scalar and ζ is the coefficient of bulk viscosity. Using the sample of 59 high-redshift GRBs reported by Wei (2010), we calibrate GRBs at low redshifts with the Union 2 sample of SNe Ia, thus avoiding the circularity problem. Testing the constant bulk viscosity model with GRBs we found the best fit for themore »« less
