Modified Chaplygin Gas Cosmology from Geometrothermodynamics

Abstract: The modified Chaplygin gas (MCG) cosmological model is derived by using the geometrothermodynamics (GTD) formalism. We show that the MCG corresponds to a system with internal thermodynamic interaction and describes the current accelerated expansion of the universe. Moreover, we also show that the MCG can be interpreted as a unified model for dark energy and dark matter that is perfectly consistent with the current SNe observations and CMB anisotropy measurements.
