Abstract: We investigate a class of Cardassian scenarios of the universe evolution in notions of the qualitative theory of dynamical systems. This theory allows us to analyze all solutions for all possible initial conditions on the phase plane. In the Cardassian models we find that big-rip singularities are present as a typical behavior in the future if $n<0$. Some exact solutions for the flat Cardassian models as well as a duality relation were found. In turn from the statistical analysis of Knop's SNIa data, without any priors on matter content in the model, we obtain that at the 99% confidence level this big-rip scenario will reach. The potential function for the Hamiltonian description of dynamics is reconstructed from the SNIa data (inverse dynamical problem). We also pointed out the statistical analysis results depend oversensitively on the choice of the model parameter $mathcalM$.

Review text

The Cardassian models have become an alternative to the dark energy models of cosmology which try to explain the acceleration of the universe. The Cardassian models resolve the expansion of the universe by introduction of an additional term into the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker equation [\textit{S. W. Hawking, G. F. R. Ellis}, The large scale structure of space-time. Cambridge Monographs of Mathematical Physics. Vol. I. (London: Cambridge University Press). (1973; Zbl 0265.53054); \textit{R. D'Inverno}, Introducing Einstein's relativity. Oxford: Oxford University Press (1992; Zbl 0776.53046); \textit{W. Rindler}, Relativity. Special, general and cosmological. Oxford: Oxford University Press (2001; Zbl 0981.83001)]. The main purpose of the paper under review is to demonstrate some unexpected cosmological consequences like the big-rip singularities and the magnitude-redshift relation for type Ia supernovae (SNIa) data by the application of projective techniques to qualitative cosmology. The duality inherent to projective geometry indicates the existence of a symmetry relation between the phantom and the quintessence field analogously to the scale factor duality in the super-string scenario.
