Thermodynamics and stability analysis of Tsallis Holographic Dark Energy (THDE) models in [formula omitted] gravity

In this manuscript, we develop the counterpart of Tsallis holographic dark energy (THDE) model in F(R,T) theory (where R represents Ricci scalar and T is trace of energy momentum tensor (EMT)) using the two IR-cutoffs namely Hubble horizon (HH) and Granda-Oliveros (GO). The THDE is proposed on the basis of Tsallis entropy (Tsallis and Cirto, 2013) and the holographic hypothesis (Tavayef, 2018). Cosmic evolution is analyzed using the equation of state (EOS) parameter which results in both quintessence and phantom regimes. The stability analysis of reconstructed models is also made with the help of squared speed of sound. Moreover, we study the thermodynamic picture and developed constraints for the validity of generalized second law of thermodynamics (GSLT). It is remarked that these reconstructed models can be useful to further explore the cosmic issues.

Particle creation from thermodynamics point of view in f(𝒢,T) gravity

This paper aims to discuss the gravitationally induced particle creation in the framework of [Formula: see text] theory, which involves the non-minimal coupling (NMC) between Gauss–Bonnet (GB) invariant, [Formula: see text] and trace of the energy–momentum tensor (EMT), [Formula: see text]. Here, NMC between matter and gravitational sector results in non-divergence of EMT. We discuss the generalized conservation equation for the irreversible process of matter creation with the help of generalized second law of thermodynamics (GSLT). Particle creation rate, creation pressure, entropy production rate and temperature are obtained for this theory using flat FRW geometry. We work on three particular [Formula: see text] models and study cosmological implications of open irreversible thermodynamics. Furthermore, the impact of NMC on cosmological evolution and entropy production is briefly discussed.

Analysis of cubic gravity through cosmic aspects

In the context of cubic gravity for flat FRW metric we discuss the behavior of cosmological parameters (equation of state (EoS) parameter and square speed of sound) at Hubble horizon with the four different models of Hubble parameter. We observe the validity of generalized second law of thermodynamics (GSLT) and thermal equilibrium condition. It is found that cosmological parameters lie within the observational constraints. Also, GSLT and thermal equilibrium condition holds in almost all cases of Hubble parameter.

Thermodynamics of squared speed of sound parametrizations

In this work, an attempt is made to study the thermodynamical analysis at the apparent horizon in the framework of fractal universe. We consider the Bekenstein entropy to examine validity of the generalized second law of thermodynamics (GSLT) and thermal equilibrium for the four different cases which are developed with the utilization of different forms of squared speed of sound. In each case, we explore the behavior of total entropy through the graphical variation of its first- and second-order derivatives with respect to redshift parameter ([Formula: see text]). It is found that generalized second law of thermodynamics holds for Cases 1 and 2 for [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], respectively and it holds in late times as well. However, for Cases [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], this law is satisfied in early, present and future epochs. Furthermore, for Cases 1 and 2, instability of thermodynamic equilibrium is observed, but for Cases 3 and 4, it holds in the specific intervals [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], respectively.

Thermodynamics of scalar field models with kinetic corrections

In this work, we compare the thermodynamical viability of two types of noncanonical scalar field models with kinetic corrections: the square kinetic and square root kinetic corrections. In modern cosmology, the generalized second law of thermodynamics (GSLT) plays an important role in deciding thermodynamical compliance of a model as one cannot consider a model to be viable if it fails to respect GSLT. Hence, for comparing thermodynamical viability, we examine the validity of GSLT for these two models. For this purpose, by employing the Unified first law (UFL), we calculate the total entropy of these two models in apparent and event horizons. The validity of GSLT is then examined from the autonomous systems as the original expressions of total entropy are very complicated. Although, at the background level, both models give interesting cosmological dynamics, however, thermodynamically we found that the square kinetic correction is more realistic as compared to the square root kinetic correction. More precisely, the GSLT holds for the square kinetic correction throughout the evolutionary history except only during the radiation epoch where the scalar field may not represent a true description of the matter content. On the other hand, the square root kinetic model fails to satisfy the GSLT in major cosmological eras.

Thermodynamics of FRW universe with Chaplygin gas models

In this paper we have examined the validity of the generalized second law of thermodynamics (GSLT) in an expanding Friedmann Robertson Walker (FRW) universe filled with different variants of Chaplygin gases. Assuming that the universe is a closed system bounded by the cosmological horizon, we first present the general prescription for the rate of change of total entropy on the boundary. In the subsequent part we have analyzed the validity of the generalised second law of thermodynamics on the cosmological apparent horizon and the cosmological event horizon for different Chaplygin gas models of the universe. The analysis is supported with the help of suitable graphs to clarify the status of the GSLT on the cosmological horizons. In the case of the cosmological apparent horizon we have found that some of these models always obey the GSLT, whereas the validity of GSLT on the cosmological event horizon of all these models depend on the choice of free parameters in the respective models.

Thermodynamic and observational constraints of DGP braneworld in the light of nonlinear electrodynamics

This paper deals with the study of the effect of Maxwell’s nonlinear electrodynamics (NLED) in the framework of Dvali–Gabadadze–Porrati (DGP) brane gravity for Friedmann–Robertson–Walker (FRW) Universe. Recently, the Hawking temperature and Bekenstein entropy have been modified for the validity of the thermodynamical laws at the event horizon. In this context, we test the validity of the generalized second law of thermodynamics (GSLT) at the apparent and event horizons. Here, the entropy of the horizon has been extracted for the following two cases: (i) by assuming the first law of thermodynamics (ii) by using modified entropy-area relation. In the case of apparent horizon, we consider the usual Hawking temperature. On the other hand, in the case of event horizon, we consider the modified Hawking temperature. Next, we discuss the geometrical parameters (deceleration, statefinder parameters and [Formula: see text] diagnostic) to explore the expansion of the accelerating Universe. From the general expression of GSLT, we find that for the apparent horizon, the GSLT always holds for any choice of model parameters in both the branches of the DGP model. However, the null energy condition must satisfy for the plausibility of GSLT at the event horizon. Finally, we use the recent observational data from Stern datasets, Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO), Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and Type Ia Supernovae (SNIa) observations to hold down the model parameters. Our analysis reveals that the DGP braneworld is free from classical instability issues and also cannot be ruled out by present thermodynamical and observational constraints.

Thermodynamic analysis of modified teleparallel gravity involving higher-order torsion derivative terms

The present study is elaborated to investigate the validity of thermodynamical laws in a modified teleparallel gravity based on higher-order derivative terms of torsion scalar. For this purpose, we consider spatially flat FRW model filled with perfect fluid matter contents. Firstly, we explore the possibility of existence of equilibrium as well as non-equilibrium picture of thermodynamics in this extended version of teleparallel gravity. Here, we present the first law and the generalized second law of thermodynamics (GSLT) using Hubble horizon. It is found that non-equilibrium description of thermodynamics exists in this theory with the presence of an extra term called as entropy production term. We also establish GSLT using the logarithmic corrected entropy. Further, by taking the equilibrium picture, we discuss validity of GSLT at Hubble horizon for two different F models. Using Gibbs law and the assumption that temperature of matter within Hubble horizon is similar to itself, We use different choices of scale factor to discuss the GSLT validity graphically in all scenarios. It is found that the GSLT is satisfied for a specified range of free parameters in all cases.

Thermodynamics in the Universe Described by the Emergence of Space and the Energy Balance Relation.

It has previously been shown that it is more common to describe the evolution of the universe based on the emergence of space and the energy balance relation. Here we investigate the thermodynamic properties of the universe described by such a model. We show that the first law of thermodynamics and the generalized second law of thermodynamics (GSLT) are both satisfied and the weak energy condition are also fulfilled for two typical examples. Finally, we examine the physical consistency for the present model. The results show that there exists a good thermodynamic description for such a universe.

Thermodynamics of event horizon with modified Hawking temperature in scalar-tensor gravity

In recent past, Hawking temperature has been modified for the validity of thermodynamical laws at the event horizon in general relativity context. This lead to the introduction of modified Hawking temperature and it has been found that the modified Hawking temperature is more realistic on the event horizon. With this motivation, here we investigate the thermodynamical consistency of scalar-tensor gravity based models by examining the validity of the generalized second law of thermodynamics (GSLT) and thermodynamical equilibrium (TE) at the event horizon. In order to attain our goal, we consider a spatially flat Friedman–Robertson–Walker Universe filled with ordinary matter and the boundary of the Universe bounded by the event horizon that is in thermal equilibrium with modified Hawking temperature. Next, we calculate the general expressions for the GSLT and TE using modified Hawking temperature in the context of the more general action of scalar-tensor gravity where there is a non-minimally coupling between the scalar field and matter Lagrangian (as the chameleon field). From the general expression of GSLT, we find that the null energy condition must hold for a viable scalar-tensor model of the Universe dominated by a perfect fluid. Furthermore, in order to better understand these complicated general expressions of GSLT and TE, we explore the validity of the GSLT and TE for two viable models of scalar-tensor gravity namely Brans–Dicke gravity with a self-interacting potential and Chameleon gravity at the event horizon using special cosmological solutions. Finally, some graphical representation of the GSLT and TE have been presented. From the graphical analysis, we found that the power-law forms of the scale factor and scalar field is much favourable for the study of universal thermodynamics as compared to other choices of the scalar field and the analytic function.

Thermodynamics and cosmological reconstruction inf(T,B)gravity

Abstract Recently, it was formulated a teleparallel theory called f ( T , B ) gravity which connects both f ( T ) and f ( R ) under suitable limits. In this theory, the function in the action is assumed to depend on the torsion scalar T and also on a boundary term related with the divergence of torsion, B = 2 ∇ μ T μ . In this work, we study different features of a flat Friedmann–Lemaitre–Robertson–Walker (FLRW) cosmology in this theory. First, we show that the FLRW equations can be transformed to the form of Clausius relation T ˆ h S eff = − d E + W d V , where T ˆ h is the horizon temperature and S eff is the entropy which contains contributions both from horizon entropy and an additional entropy term introduced due to the non-equilibrium. We also formulate the constraint for the validity of the generalised second law of thermodynamics (GSLT). Additionally, using a cosmological reconstruction technique, we show that both f ( T , B ) and − T + F ( B ) gravity can mimic power-law, de-Sitter and Λ CDM models. Finally, we formulate the perturbed evolution equations and analyse the stability of some important cosmological solutions.

A thermodynamical analysis of the inhomogeneous FLRW type model: Redefined Bekenstein–Hawking system

A detailed thermodynamical study has been presented for the inhomogeneous FLRW-type model of the Universe bounded by a horizon with three possible modifications of Bekenstein–Hawking formulation of thermodynamical parameters namely entropy and temperature. For the first choice of the thermodynamical system validity of both the first law of thermodynamics (FLT) and the generalized second law of thermodynamics (GSLT) are examined. Also, the integrability conditions for the exact one-forms in both the thermodynamical laws are analyzed and it is found that they are consistent with each other. On the other hand, for the other two choices of the thermodynamical system to hold the first law of thermodynamics, one must restrict the parameters (in the definition of the thermodynamical variables) in some specific integral form.

A unified picture of cosmological entropy on apparent horizon in F(R, G) gravity

In this study, the validity of the generalized second law of thermodynamics (GSLT) has been investigated in F(R, G) gravity. We consider that the boundary of the universe is surrounded by an apparent horizon in the spatially flat Friedmann–Robertson–Walker (FRW) universe, and we take into account the Hawking temperature on the horizons. The unified solutions of the field equations corresponding to gravity theory have been applied to the validity of the GSLT frame, and in this way, both the solutions have been verified and all the expansion history of the universe has been shown in a unified picture.

Effects of Anisotropy on Scalar Field Ghost Dark Energy and the Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics in Fractal Cosmology

Since the fractal cosmology has been created in early universe, therefore their models were mostly isotropic. The majority of previous studies had been based on FRW universe, while in the early universe, the best model for describing fractal cosmology is actually the anisotropic universe. Therefore in this work, by assuming the anisotropic universe, the cosmological implications of ghost and generalized ghost dark energy models with dark matter in fractal cosmology has been discussed. Moreover, the different kinds of dark energy models such as quintessence and tachyon field, with the generalized ghost dark energy in fractal universe has been investigated. In addition, we have reconstructed the Hubble parameter, H, the energy density, ρ, the deceleration parameter, q, the equations of state parameter, , for both ghost and generalized ghost dark energy models. This correspondence allows us to reconstruct the potential and the dynamics of a fractal canonical scalar field according to the evolution of generalized ghost dark energy density. Eventually, thermodynamics of the cosmological apparent horizon in fractal cosmology was investigated and the validity of the Generalized second law of thermodynamics (GSLT) have been examined in an anisotropic universe. The results show the influence of the anisotropy on the GSLT of thermodynamics in a fractal cosmology.

Generalized second law of thermodynamic in modified teleparallel theory

This study is conducted to examine the validity of the generalized second law of thermodynamics (GSLT) in flat FRW for modified teleparallel gravity involving coupling between a scalar field with the torsion scalar T and the boundary term B=2nabla _{mu }T^{mu }. This theory is very useful, since it can reproduce other important well-known scalar field theories in suitable limits. The validity of the first and second law of thermodynamics at the apparent horizon is discussed for any coupling. As examples, we have also explored the validity of those thermodynamics laws in some new cosmological solutions under the theory. Additionally, we have also considered the logarithmic entropy corrected relation and discuss the GSLT at the apparent horizon.

Second law of gravitational thermodynamics in the locally rotationally symmetric Bianchi type-II universe

In this work, under the assumption that the universe is locally rotationally symmetric (LRS) Bianchi type-II and filled with anisotropic dark fluid (dark energy and dark radiation), we investigate whether the generalized second law of thermodynamics (GSLT) is still valid. We also consider another important condition for LRS Bianchi type-II spacetimes whereby the model expansion $\theta $ is proportional to the shear $\sigma $, which leads to $B=A^{n}$ (where n is a constant and A and B are the metric potentials). Based on this, we derive a general circumstance for the GSLT and find that its validity depends on the anisotropies of both the dark fluid and the metric potentials. We conclude that the GSLT still holds at all times even if these two anisotropic conditions are removed from the results.

Thermodynamics inf(R,RαβRαβ,ϕ)theory of gravity

Abstract First and second laws of black hole thermodynamics are examined at the apparent horizon of FRW spacetime in f ( R , R α β R α β , ϕ ) gravity, where R , R α β R α β and ϕ are the Ricci invariant, Ricci tensor and the scalar field respectively. In this modified theory, Friedmann equations are formulated for any spatial curvature. These equations can be presented into the form of first law of thermodynamics for T h d S ˆ h + T h d i S ˆ h + W d V = d E , where d i S ˆ h is an extra entropy term because of the non-equilibrium presentation of the equations and T h d S ˆ h + W d V = d E for the equilibrium presentation. The generalized second law of thermodynamics (GSLT) is expressed in an inclusive form where these results can be represented in GR, f ( R ) and f ( R , ϕ ) gravities. Finally to check the validity of GSLT, we take some particular models and produce constraints of the parameters.

Thermodynamics of anisotropic emergent universe in nonlinear electrodynamics

In this paper, we study the emergent universe (EU) with interacting fluids in the background of Bianchi type I (BI) universe model. For this purpose, we consider polytropic equation of state (EoS) which constitutes three non-interacting fluids. In order to check the viability of the cosmological models, we take a two-fluid model interacting with dust fluid and a three-fluid model in which each fluid has nonlinear EoS interacting at [Formula: see text]. It turns out that both models are realistic cosmological viable. We also check the validity of the generalized second law of thermodynamics (GSLT) for EU with interacting fluids. Finally, we study its validity in the framework of nonlinear electrodynamics (NLED) on apparent horizon.

Modified Bekenstein-Hawking System in f(R) Gravity

The present work deals with four alternative formulation of Bekenstein system on event horizon in $f(R)$ gravity. While thermodynamical laws holds in universe bounded by apparent horizon, these laws break down on event horizon. With alternative formulation of thermodynamical parameters (temperature and entropy), thermodynamical laws hold on event horizon in Einstein Gravity. With this motivation, we extend the idea of generalised Hawking temperature and modified Bekenstein entropy in homogeneous and isotropic model of universe on event horizon and examine whether thermodynamical laws hold in f(R) gravity. Specifically, we examine and compare validity of generalised second law of thermodynamics (GSLT) and thermodynamical equilibrium (TE) in four alternative modified Bekenstein scenarios. As Dark energy is a possible dominant candidate for matter in the univerese and Holographic Dark Energy (HDE) can give effective description of f(R) gravity, so matter in the universe is taken as in the form interacting HDE. In order to understand the complicated expressions, finally the above laws are examined from graphical representation using three Planck data sets and it is found that generalised/modified Hawking temperature has a crucial role in making perfect thermodynamical system.

热力学第二定律对广义f(R)引力模型的限制

本文构建广义的f(R)引力即物质与曲率耦合的f(R)引力理论，在以动态表观视界为边界、其内部充满具有霍金温度的普通物质的FRW宇宙背景下，由广义f(R)引力的场方程可推导出广义热力学第二定律，并利用广义热力学第二定律对具体模型参数进行限制。 The generalized f(R) gravity with curvature-matter coupling is studied in this paper. The genera-lized second law of thermodynamics (GSL) can be given by considering the FRW universe filled only with ordinary matter enclosed by the dynamical apparent horizon with the Hawking temperature. Furthermore, as a concrete example, by utilizing the GSL, the constraints on the gravitational model are also discussed.
