Phenomenologically varying Λ and a toy model for the 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.
