We examine the consequences of a universe with a non-constant cosmological term in Einstein's equations and find that the Bianchi identities reduce to the first law of thermodynamics when cosmological term is identified as being proportional to the entropy density of the universe. This means that gravitating dark energy can be viewed as entropy, but more, the holographic principle along with the known expansion of the universe indicates that the entropy of the universe is growing with time and this leads to a cosmic repulsion that also grows with time. Direct implications of this result are calculated and shown to be in good accord with recent observational data.
Using the formalism of the third quantization in canonical quantum gravity, the entropy of entanglement of a pair of universes created in the multiverse from the vacuum has lately been calculated. Here, we examine the differences between considering a scalar field as quantum or classical on the entanglement entropy of three different pairs: de-Sitter universes, flat stiff matter dominated universes, and closed universes with a scalar field. We find that the entanglement entropy is unchanged, zero, or dependent on the treatment of the scalar field, respectively.
We study the Padmanabhan's emergent Universe in the context of Bousso's covariant entropy conjecture. We find that for a flat Universe, this conjecture can be applied for the system of Padmanabhan's emergent Universe. It turns out that the maximum "bulk entropy" of Padmanabhan's emergent Universe coincides with the upper bound of Bousso's covariant entropy on the null surface defined by Hubble horizon, provided that the Universe is just filled by the cosmological constant or radiation field which represent maximal entropy during inflation and subsequent radiation dominant era. This maximal ent…
The Renyi entropy coprises a group of data estimates that sums up the well-known Shannon entropy, acquiring a considerable lot of its properties. It appears as unqualified and restrictive entropy, relative entropy, or common data, and has found numerous applications in information theory. in the Renyi's argument, the area law of the black hole entropy plays a significant role. However, the total entropy can be modified by some quantum effects, motivated by the randomness of a system. In this note, by employing this modified entropy relation, we have derived corrections to Newton's law of gravi…
The phenomenon of dark energy and its manifestations are studied in a spherically symmetric universe considering the Brans-Dicke scalar tensor theory. In the first model the dark energy behaves like a phantom type and in such a universe the existence of negative time is validated with an indication that our universe started its evolution before $t=0$. Dark energy prevalent in this universe is found to be more active at times when other types of energies remain passive. The second model universe begins with big bang. On the other hand the dark energy prevalent in the third model is found to be …
In this work we explore a Holographic Dark Energy Model in a flat Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker Universe, which contains baryons, radiation, cold dark matter and dark energy within the framework of General Relativity. Furthermore, we consider three types of phenomenological interactions in the dark sector. With the proposed model we obtained the algebraic expressions for the cosmological parameters of our interest: the deceleration and coincidence parameters. Likewise, we graphically compare the proposed model with the $Λ$CDM model.
In our present work, we study the evolution of the universe by assuming an interacting dark energy model, where dark energy interacts with matter. Basing on this model, first we calculated the dark energy density parameter and using this we have picturised the expansion of the universe. From our analysis, we found that presently observed accelerated expansion of the universe can be explained by interacting model, if the dark energy is quintessence type. Though equation of sate parameter of dark energy $γ_ϕ$ for quintessence varies between $0$ and $-1$, our results predict that accelearted expa…
In this paper, we suggest that the early universe starts from a high-energetic state with a two dimensional description and the state recovers to be four dimensional when the universe evolves into the radiation dominated phase. This scenario is consistent with the recent viewpoint that quantum gravity should be effectively two dimensional in the ultraviolet and recovers to be four dimensional in the infrared. A relationship has been established between the running of effective dimension and that of the entropy inside particle horizon of the universe, i.e., as the effective dimension runs from …
Bousso's entropy bound is a conjecture that the entropy through a null hypersurface emanating from a two-dimensional surface with a nonpositive expansion is bounded by the area of that two-dimensional surface. We investigate the validity of Bousso's entropy bound in the spatially flat, homogeneous, and isotropic universe with an adiabatic entropy current. We find that the bound is satisfied in the entire spacetime in which a cutoff time is introduced based on the entropy density and the energy density. Compared to the previously used prescription which puts a cutoff near the curvature singular…
We investigate the impact of the generalized uncertainty principle proposed by some approaches to quantum gravity such as string theory and doubly special relativity on the cosmology. Using generalized Poisson brackets, we obtain the modified Friedmann and Raychaudhuri equations and suggest a dynamical dark energy to explain the late time acceleration of the Universe. After considering the interaction between dark matter and dark energy, originated from the minimal length, we obtain the effective cosmological parameters and equation of state parameter for dark matter and dark energy. Finally, …
