Structure formation and generalized second law of thermodynamics in some viable f(R)-gravity models
We investigate the growth of matter density perturbations as well as the generalized second law (GSL) of thermodynamics in the framework of f(R)-gravity. We consider a spatially flat FRW universe filled with the pressureless matter and radiation which is enclosed by the dynamical apparent horizon with the Hawking temperature. For some viable f(R) models containing the Starobinsky, Hu-Sawicki, Exp...
متن کاملCosmological Imprints of the Second Law of Thermodynamics
We study the full history of the universe in the presence of inflaton, matter, radiation, and holographic dark energy. The time evolution of the scale factor is obtained by solving the Friedmann equation of the universe without artificial ansatz. We discuss that the second law of thermodynamics dictates the accelerating expansion of the dark energy dominant phase to the universe. In addition, w...
متن کاملCosmological Imprint of the Second Law of Thermodynamics
We study the evolution of the universe in the presence of inflaton, matter, radiation, and holographic dark energy. The time evolution of the scale factor is obtained by solving the Friedmann equation of the universe with a good approximation. We present two independent ways which determine the value of the dark energy constant d ∼ 1 from the observational data. The two ways are measuring the d...
متن کاملGeneralized Second Law of Thermodynamics in Extended Theories of Gravity
By employing the general expression of temperature Th = |κ|/2π = 1 2πr̃A (1 − ̇̃ rA 2Hr̃A ) associated with the apparent horizon of a FRW universe and assuming a region of FRW universe enclosed by the apparent horizon as a thermal system in equilibrium, we are able to show that the generalized second law of thermodynamics holds in Gauss-Bonnet gravity and in more general Lovelock gravity. PACS num...
متن کاملThe Generalized Second Law of Thermodynamics in Cosmology
A classical and quantum mechanical generalized second law of thermodynamics in cosmology implies constraints on the effective equation of state of the universe in the form of energy conditions, obeyed by many known cosmological solutions, and is compatible with entropy bounds which forbid certain cosmological singularities. In string cosmology the second law provides new information about the e...
