We study the thermodynamics of the ghost model of dark energy in a flat Friedmann–Robertson–Walker (FRW) universe enveloped by a Hubble horizon. We show that the Friedmann equation of the FRW universe, in the presence of ghost dark energy, can be transformed to the first law of thermodynamics on the Hubble horizon. Using this procedure, we extract the entropy expression associated with the horizon in this model. We find that the area relation for the entropy expression is modified and an additional term that is proportional to the volume of the system, A3/2, appears in the entropy relation. We also find that for late time, where the temperature of the Universe scales as the temperature of its horizon, T = bTin, the generalized second law of thermodynamics can be secured provided 1/2 ≤ b ≤ 1, where T and Tin are the horizon and the matter fields’ temperatures, respectively.

We investigate the validity of generalized second law of thermodynamics of a physical system comprising newly proposed dark energy model called Ricci-Gauss-Bonnet and cold dark matter enveloped by apparent horizon and event horizon in flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) universe. For this purpose, Bekenstein entropy, Renyi entropy, logarithmic entropy, and power law entropic corrections are used. It is found that this law exhibits the validity on both apparent and event horizons except for the case of logarithmic entropic correction at apparent horizon. Also, we check the thermodynamical equilibrium condition for all cases of entropy and found its vitality in all cases of entropy.

In this paper, we consider Universe filled with two-component fluid. We study two different models. In the first model we assume barotropic fluid with the linear equation of state (EoS) as the first component of total fluid. In the second model we assume van der Waals gas as the first component of total fluid. In both models, the second component assumed generalized ghost dark energy. We consider also interaction between components and discuss, numerically, cosmological quantities for two different parametrizations of EoS which varies with time. We consider this as a toy model of our Universe. We fix parameters of the model by using generalized second law of thermodynamics. Comparing our results with some observational data suggests interacting barotropic fluid with EoS parameter [Formula: see text] and generalized ghost dark energy as an appropriate model to describe our Universe.

We consider a model of the Universe with variable G and Λ. The subject of interest is a phenomenological model for Λ proposed and considered in this article for the first time (to our knowledge), with the assumption that ghost dark energy exists and interacts with the Universe through Λ. We consider the possibility that there exist unusual connections between different components of the fluids in Universe. We would like to stress that this is simply an assumption and could be very far from reality. This model is interesting phenomenologically and mathematically but we will not discuss physical conditions or possibilities of implementing the modifications. To test our assumption and to observe the behavior of the Universe, we will consider toy models filled by a barotropic fluid and modified Chaplyagin gas. Finally, we will consider interaction between barotropic fluid or Chaplygin gas and ghost dark energy as a separate scenario. The statefinder diagnostic provided stability analysis of the models. All free parameters of the model are fixed to satisfy the generalized second law of thermodynamics.

We investigate the generalized second law of thermodynamics by assuming the interaction of dark energy and dark matter in Chern–Simons modified gravity. We consider a family of holographic dark energy models by assuming its various cutoffs such as Hubble horizon, event horizon, their combination, Ricci scalar and its generalized form. The general criteria of generalized second law of thermodynamics in terms of coincidence parameter is being developed. This criterion is being applied for the above-mentioned holographic dark energy models to check the validity of the generalized second law of thermodynamics and the constraints where it is respected are referred.

We consider a Friedmann–Robertson–Walker (FRW) universe filled by a dark energy (DE) candidate together with other possible sources which may include the baryonic and nonbaryonic matters. Thereinafter, we consider a situation in which the cosmos sectors do not interact with each other. By applying the unified first law of thermodynamics on the apparent horizon of the FRW universe, we show that the DE candidate may modify the apparent horizon entropy and thus the Bekenstein limit. Moreover, we generalize our study to the models in which the cosmos sectors have a mutual interaction. Our final result indicates that the mutual interaction between the cosmos sectors may add an additional term to the apparent horizon entropy leading to modify the Bekenstein limit. Relationships with previous works have been addressed throughout the paper. Finally, we investigate the validity of the second law of thermodynamics and its generalized form in the interacting and noninteracting cosmoses.

Among various dark energy models, Tsallis holographic dark energy model shows the dynamical enthusiasm to describe the transition phase of the universe. In this paper, we consider Tsallis holographic dark energy with event and apparent horizon as an infrared cutoff in the framework of dynamical Chern–Simon modified gravity and non-flat FRW universe. We explore Hubble, equation of state and deceleration parameters and found that Hubble parameter lies in the range [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] for event and apparent horizon trajectories, respectively. It is mentioned here that the equation of state parameter lies within the range [Formula: see text] (event) and [Formula: see text] (apparent). Also, deceleration parameter for both cases show accelerated and decelerated phase of universe as well as cosmological constant. Moreover, we also checked the stability of our model through square speed of sound, which shows the positive behavior (exhibits the stability of the model). Finally, we observe that the generalized second law of thermodynamics remains valid in both cases of horizon.

In the work reported here we have considered Barrow holographic dark energy (BHDE) proposed in E. N. Saridakis, Barrow holographic dark energy, Phys. Rev. D 102 (2020) 123525 as a special case of more generalized version of Nojiri–Odintsov holographic dark energy (NOHDE) proposed in S. I. Nojiri and S. D. Odintsov, Unifying phantom inflation with late-time acceleration: Scalar phantom–non-phantom transition model and generalized holographic dark energy, Gen. Relativ. Gravit. 38 (2006) 1285–1304 and also reconstructed [Formula: see text] gravity with BHDE as the form of background evolution. It has been observed that in the case of BHDE reconstructed [Formula: see text] gravity the equation of state can have a transition from quintessence to phantom. In a particular case of reconstruction, possibility of Little Rip singularity has been observed. Finally, the generalized second law of thermodynamics has been found to be valid under this reconstruction scheme.

We show that for an RSII braneworld filled with interacting viscous dark energy and dark matter, one can always rewrite the Friedmann equation in the form of the first law of thermodynamics, dE = ThdSh + WdV, at the apparent horizon. In addition, the generalized second law of thermodynamics can be fulfilled in a region enclosed by the apparent horizon on the brane for both constant and time-variable five-dimensional Newton's constant G5. These results hold regardless of the specific form of the dark energy. Our study further supports the belief that in an accelerating universe with spatial curvature, the apparent horizon is a physical boundary from the thermodynamical point of view.

Motivated by the work of Saridakis (Phys. Rev. D 102, 123525 (2020)), the present study reports the cosmological consequences of Barrow holographic dark energy (HDE) and its thermodynamics. Literatures demonstrate that Dark Energy (DE) may result from electroweak symmetry breaking that triggers a phase transition from early inflation to late time acceleration. In the present study, we incorporated viscosity in the Barrow HDE. A reconstruction scheme is presented for the parameters associated with Barrow holographic dark energy under the purview of viscous cosmology. Equation of state (EoS) parameter is reconstructed in this scenario and quintessence behaviour is observed. Considering BarrowHDE as a specific case ofNojiri-Odintsov (NO) HDE, we have observed quintom behaviour of the EoS parameter and for some values of n the EoS has been observed to be very close to −1 for the current universe. The generalised second law of thermodynamics has come out to be valid in all the scenarios under consideration. Physical viability of considering Barrow HDE as a specific case of NO HDE is demonstrated in this study.
