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.

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.

A study of Universal thermodynamics is done in the framework of RSII brane model and DGP brane scenario. The Universe is chosen as FRW model bounded by apparent or event horizon. Assuming extended Hawking temperature on the horizon, the unified first law is examined for perfect fluid (with constant equation of state) and Modified Chaplygin Gas model. As a result there is a modification of Bekenstein entropy on the horizons. Further the validity of the generalized second law of thermodynamics and thermodynamical equilibrium are also investigated.

We examine the validity of the generalized second law of thermodynamics in a non-flat universe in the presence of viscous dark energy. First we assume that the universe is filled only with viscous dark energy. Then, we extend our study to the case where there is an interaction between viscous dark energy and pressureless dark matter. We examine the time evolution of the total entropy, including the entropy associated with the apparent horizon and the entropy of the viscous dark energy inside the apparent horizon. Our study shows that the generalized second law of thermodynamics is always protected in a universe filled with interacting viscous dark energy and dark matter in a region enclosed by the apparent horizon. Finally, we show that the the generalized second law of thermodynamics is fulfilled for a universe filled with interacting viscous dark energy and dark matter by taking into account the Casimir effect.

The present paper reports a study on modified Chaplygin gas (MCG)-based reconstruction scheme for extended holographic Ricci dark energy (EHRDE) in the presence of viscous type dissipative term. The dissipative effect has been described by using Eckart approach. Under the assumption that the universe is filled with MCG–EHRDE under the influence of bulk viscosity we have studied the cosmological dynamics, where the bulk viscosity coefficient has been chosen in a particular time varying form [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are constant coefficients and [Formula: see text] is the Hubble parameter. Furthermore, we have reconstructed the potential and dynamics of viscous MCG–EHRDE as scalar field. Thereafter we have studied the statefinder trajectories to discern its departure from [Formula: see text] cold dark matter ([Formula: see text]CDM) and finally investigated validity of the generalized second law (GSL) of thermodynamics considering event horizon as the enveloping horizon of the universe.

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.

The motivation of this paper is to study the bulk viscosity effect in Ricci dark energy (RDE) model within the framework of modified f(R, T) gravity, where R is the Ricci scalar and T is the trace of the energy–momentum tensor. As most studies assume that the universe is filled with a perfect fluid, viscosity is expected to present at least during some stages, especially in the early stage of the evolution of the universe but it could still become significant in the future. We assume the universe is filled with viscous RDE and pressureless dark matter. We consider the total bulk viscous coefficient is in the form of [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]H, where [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are the constants. We obtain the solutions to the modified field equations by assuming a form f(R, T) = R [Formula: see text] T, where [Formula: see text] is a constant. We find the scale factor and deceleration parameter, and classify all possible evolutions of the universe. We briefly discuss the future finite-time singularity and show that the Big Rip singularity appears in viscous RDE model. We investigate two geometrical diagnostics, statefinder parameter and Om to analyze the dynamics of evolution of the universe. The trajectories of statefinder parameter reveal that the model behaves like quintessence for small [Formula: see text], and for large [Formula: see text] it shows the Chaplygin gas-like. However, in late time both the models approach [Formula: see text]CDM. The model shows a transition from decelerated phase to accelerated phase. Similarly, the Om analysis reveals that the model behaves like quintessence for small [Formula: see text] and phantom-like for large [Formula: see text]. We extend our study to analyze the time evolution of the total entropy and generalized second law of thermodynamics of viscous RDE model in f(R, T) theory inside the apparent horizon. Our study shows that the generalized second law of thermodynamics always preserves in viscous RDE model in a region enclosed by the apparent horizon under the suitable constraints of viscous coefficients.

In the present work we investigated the validity of the generalized second law (GSL) of thermodynamics in the presence of interaction between DBI-essence and other four candidates of dark energy, namely the modified Chaplygin gas, hessence, tachyonic field and new agegraphic dark energy. It has been observed that the GSL breaks down in the presence of the interactions. However, the event horizon remains to be an increasing function of time.

In this paper, we investigate the validity of the generalized second law of thermodynamics (GSLT) in the DGP braneworld. The boundary of the universe is assumed to be enclosed by the dynamical apparent horizon or the event horizon. The universe is chosen to be homogeneous and isotropic and the validity of the first law has been assumed here. The matter in the universe is taken in the form of non-interacting two-fluid system: one component is the holographic dark energy and the other component is in the form of dust.

AbstractWe investigate the validity of the generalized second law of thermodynamics, applying Barrow entropy for the horizon entropy. The former arises from the fact that the black-hole surface may be deformed due to quantum-gravitational effects, quantified by a new exponent $$\Delta $$ Δ . We calculate the entropy time-variation in a universe filled with the matter and dark energy fluids, as well as the corresponding quantity for the apparent horizon. We show that although in the case $$\Delta =0$$ Δ = 0 , which corresponds to usual entropy, the sum of the entropy enclosed by the apparent horizon plus the entropy of the horizon itself is always a non-decreasing function of time and thus the generalized second law of thermodynamics is valid, in the case of Barrow entropy this is not true anymore, and the generalized second law of thermodynamics may be violated, depending on the universe evolution. Hence, in order not to have violation, the deformation from standard Bekenstein–Hawking expression should be small as expected.
