Thermodynamics in loop quantum cosmology with non-canonical scalar field model

Abstract

The cosmological scenario is built up within the framework of scalar field model possessing a noncanonical kinetic term in loop quantum gravity. The noncanonical scalar field is permitted to interact with dark matter field by assuming a specific form of coupling term. The equation of state parameter is set to be constant as well as variable (Chevallier–Polarski–Linder parametrization) and evaluated the behavior of universe through deceleration parameter and weak energy condition. These parameters favor the accelerated expansion of the universe for three values of equation of state parameter in both cases allowed by observational data. The squared speed of sound leads to the stability of the underlying models in both forms of equation of state parameter. Moreover, the validity of generalized second law of thermodynamics is analyzed by using first law of thermodynamics and assume the universe to be enclosed by apparent horizon. The Bekenstein, logarithmic and power-law entropy is being considered as entropy of horizon. The thermodynamic equilibrium condition is also discussed for all three cases of entropies. The generalized second law of thermodynamics and thermal equilibrium condition is satisfied for all the three types of entropies.
