Viscous generalised Chaplygin gas under the purview of f(T) gravity and the model assessment through probabilistic information theory

Abstract

Abstract In this work we have reported a study on the generalized Chaplygin gas (GCG) in the presence of bulk viscosity. Reconstruction schemes have been demonstrated in Einstein and modified f(T) gravity framework 4(T is the torsion scalar) in interacting scenario and under the purview of viscous cosmological settings. Non-viscous cases have also been taken into account. The equation of state (EoS) parameter has been studied under the various circumstances and the stability of the models has been judged through the sign of squared speed of sound. The GCG interacting with pressure-less dark matter has been found to be behaving like quintom in presence of bulk viscosity and in non-viscous case a quintessence like behaviour has been reported. Finally, the reconstructed GCG comes out to be stable against small perturbations irrespective of the presence of bulk viscosity. Finally, the reconstruction scheme has been assessed using statistical analysis, Shannon entropy and Gaussian Mixture Model.
