Abstract
A modified Chaplygin gas (MCG) model of unifying dark energy and dark matter is considered in this paper. Concretely, the evolution of such a unified dark sector model is studied and the statefinder diagnostic to the MCG model is performed in our model. By analysis, it is shown that the state parameter of dark energy can cross the so-called phantom divide ω = -1, the behavior of MCG will be like ΛCDM in the future and therefore our universe will not end up with Big Rip in the future. In addition, we plot the evolution trajectory of the MCG model in the statefinder parameter r–s plane and show the discrimination between this scenario and other dark energy models.
