Abstract (EN)

The most important feature of our universe is its large scale homogeneity, isotropy and almost flatness. This feature ensures that observations made from our single vantage point are representative of the universe as a whole. Metric defining the universe is Friedmann RobertsonWalker (FRW) which is homogeneous spatially and isotropic, expands with the same speed in each space direction.Let's look at the initial conditions characterizing matter. There are two things that we have to know about initial conditions. How the matter is distributed in space, i.e. its location, and how they are moving, i.e. its initial field of velocities. Inflation is proposed to solve initial condition problems. These problems are homogeneity, isotropy (horizon) problem and flatness problem. We consider an inflationary model in the presence of modified Chaplygin gas,and also a recently proposed, extended Chaplygin gas in the context of quintessence cosmology. Using the recent observational data of BICEP2 we fix the free parameters of the models and check if the extended and modified Chaplygin gas models are suitable candidates for inflaton.
