Discriminating dark energy models by using the statefinder hierarchy and the growth rate of matter perturbations [CL]

http://arxiv.org/abs/1406.7514


We apply the Statefinder hierarchy and the growth rate of matter perturbations to discriminate modified Chaplygin gas (MCG), generalized Chaplygin gas (GCG), superfluid Chaplygin gas (SCG), purely kinetic k-essence (PKK), and $\Lambda$CDM model. We plot the evolutional trajectories of these models in the statefinder plane and in the composite diagnostic plane. We find that GCG, MCG, SCG, PKK, and $\Lambda$CDM can be distinguished well from each other at the present epoch by using the composite diagnostic $\{\epsilon(z), S^{(1)}_{5}\}$. Using other combinations, such as $\{S^{(1)}_{3}, S^{(1)}_4\}$, $\{S^{(1)}_{3}, S_{5}\}$, $\{\epsilon(z), S^{(1)}_{3}\}$, and $\{\epsilon(z), S_4 \}$, some of these five dark energy models can not be distinguished.
