We show that a generalised phantom Chaplygin gas can present a future singularity in a finite future cosmic time. Unlike the big rip singularity, this singularity happens for a finite scale factor, but like the big rip singularity, it would also take place at a finite future cosmic time. In addition, we define a dual of the generalised phantom Chaplygin gas which satisfies the null energy condition. Then, in a Randall-Sundrum 1 brane-world scenario, we show that the same kind of singularity at a finite scale factor arises for a brane filled with a dual of the generalised phantom Chaplygin gas.

  1. A Spectrum of Cosmological Rips and Their Observational Signatures

    astro-ph.CO 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0

    A unified dark energy model with sigmoid correction generates a spectrum of rip futures that all fit DESI, Pantheon+, and CMB data at the same level as ΛCDM.

  2. Observational constraints on 3-forms dark energy

    astro-ph.CO 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0

    Fitting a Gaussian-potential 3-form dark-energy model to Planck, DESI, Pantheon+, Cepheid and DES data shifts H0 up by only ~0.4 km/s/Mpc and yields a weak statistical preference over ΛCDM.

  3. Modified Gravity Theories on a Nutshell: Inflation, Bounce and Late-time Evolution

    gr-qc 2017-05 accept novelty 2.0

    Modified gravity theories supply viable mathematical frameworks for inflation, bounces, and dark energy eras that match observational data.
