Modified Chaplygin gas in anisotropic universes on the brane

Abstract

In this paper, we study anisotropic universes with Modified Chaplygin gas (MCG) in the context of Randall Sundrum-2 (RS2) braneworld model. The cosmological solutions for Kantowski–Sachs (KS) and Bianchi-I universes with MCG are obtained on the RS2 braneworld. The solutions are found to be dependent on MCG parameters but are modified from the GR solutions due to the braneworld correction term arising from high-energy effects. The anisotropy and deceleration parameters are obtained for each solution and the possibility of occurrence of future singularities is considered. Interestingly, we find that one drawback of the relativistic picture can be overcome in this model giving a universe close to the presently observed state.
