Mapping between different cosmological eras in scale-covariant formalism

Abstract

In this work we consider the scale-covariant formalism proposed by Canuto et al.,[Formula: see text] in order to map different eras of the universe. This technique considers a scale gauge function that can be adjusted by using different arguments like Dirac’s large numbers hypothesis or a restriction on the particle production rate. A Chaplygin constituent shows to be a consistent idea to establish a mapping between an old decelerated–accelerated universe ruled by Einstein equations and an early universe, where a new equation of state appears together with a modified general relativity theory and a de Sitter universe then emerges. These properties are a direct consequence of the use of the scale-covariant formalism. Besides, a new discussion and remarks are presented related to the well-known barotropic constituent case.
