Is the cosmological dark sector better modeled by a generalized Chaplygin gas or by a scalar field? [CEA]

http://arxiv.org/abs/1703.04149


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 quantify the fractional abundances that are admitted by observational data from supernovae of type Ia and from the evolution of the Hubble rate.
