Abstract: Constraints on the Hubble parameter, H0, via X-ray surface brightness and Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect (SZE) observations of the galaxy clusters depend on the validity of the cosmic distance duality relation (DD relation), eta=DL(z)(1+z)−2/DA(z)=1, where DL and DA are the luminosity distance and angular diameter distance (ADD), respectively. In this work, we argue that if the DD relation does not hold the X-ray plus SZE technique furnishes a H0∗=H0/eta2. We use 25 ADD of galaxy clusters to obtain simultaneous constraints on H0 and possible violation of the DD relation in a flat LambdaCDM model. Such a violation is parametrized by two functions: eta(z)=1+eta0z and eta(z)=1+eta0z/(1+z), where eta0 is a constant parameter quantifying possible departures from the strict validity. Finally, by marginalizing on the eta0 in both parameterizations, we obtain constraints on H0 regardless of the validity of the DD relation. For the linear and non linear eta(z) functions, we obtain H0=75−7+7 km/s/Mpc and H0=75−7+10 km/s/Mpc, respectively (without systematic erros). Our results support recent H0 measurements by using X-ray and SZE observations of galaxy clusters which have taken the distance duality as valid.
