In this paper, we investigate the validity of the generalized second law of thermodynamics in flat Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker chameleon cosmology where the boundary of the universe is assumed to be enclosed by the dynamical apparent horizon. It has been shown that, in a bouncing scenario for the universe with phantom crossing, the total entropy decreases with time in the contracting epoch, whereas, the dynamics of the internal and horizon entropies depend on the behaviour of both the equation of state and the Hubble parameters.

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.

In this study, the validity of the generalized second law of thermodynamics (GSLT) has been investigated in F(R, G) gravity. We consider that the boundary of the universe is surrounded by an apparent horizon in the spatially flat Friedmann–Robertson–Walker (FRW) universe, and we take into account the Hawking temperature on the horizons. The unified solutions of the field equations corresponding to gravity theory have been applied to the validity of the GSLT frame, and in this way, both the solutions have been verified and all the expansion history of the universe has been shown in a unified picture.

Assuming the universe as a thermodynamical system, the second law of thermodynamics can be extended to another form including the sum of matter and horizon entropies, which is called the generalized second law of thermodynamics. The generalized form of the second law (GSL) is universal which means it holds both in non-equilibrium and equilibrium pictures of thermodynamics. Considering the universe is bounded by a dynamical apparent horizon, we investigate the nature of entropy function for the validity of GSL in the scalar–tensor–vector (STEVE) theory of gravity.

We investigate the dynamical evolution of homogeneous and isotropic flat-FRW universe filled with a barotropic fluid satisfying linear equation of state in Rastall gravity. Using dynamical system approach, we find the fixed points of the system and study their stability. We further explore the thermodynamic aspects at the apparent horizon by investigating the validity of generalized second law of thermodynamics with equilibrium description.

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 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.

The cosmological scenario is built up within the framework of scalar field model possessing a noncanonical kinetic term in loop quantum gravity. The noncanonical scalar field is permitted to interact with dark matter field by assuming a specific form of coupling term. The equation of state parameter is set to be constant as well as variable (Chevallier–Polarski–Linder parametrization) and evaluated the behavior of universe through deceleration parameter and weak energy condition. These parameters favor the accelerated expansion of the universe for three values of equation of state parameter in both cases allowed by observational data. The squared speed of sound leads to the stability of the underlying models in both forms of equation of state parameter. Moreover, the validity of generalized second law of thermodynamics is analyzed by using first law of thermodynamics and assume the universe to be enclosed by apparent horizon. The Bekenstein, logarithmic and power-law entropy is being considered as entropy of horizon. The thermodynamic equilibrium condition is also discussed for all three cases of entropies. The generalized second law of thermodynamics and thermal equilibrium condition is satisfied for all the three types of entropies.

In this work, an attempt is made to study the thermodynamical analysis at the apparent horizon in the framework of fractal universe. We consider the Bekenstein entropy to examine validity of the generalized second law of thermodynamics (GSLT) and thermal equilibrium for the four different cases which are developed with the utilization of different forms of squared speed of sound. In each case, we explore the behavior of total entropy through the graphical variation of its first- and second-order derivatives with respect to redshift parameter ([Formula: see text]). It is found that generalized second law of thermodynamics holds for Cases 1 and 2 for [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], respectively and it holds in late times as well. However, for Cases [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], this law is satisfied in early, present and future epochs. Furthermore, for Cases 1 and 2, instability of thermodynamic equilibrium is observed, but for Cases 3 and 4, it holds in the specific intervals [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], respectively.

In this paper, we examine the validity of the generalized second law (GSL) of gravitational thermodynamics in the context of interacting f(R) gravity. We take into account that the boundary of the universe to be confined by the dynamical apparent horizon in a flat FRW universe. We study the effective equation of state, deceleration parameter and GSL in this interaction-framework. We find that the evolution of the total entropy increases through the interaction term. As an example, we consider a f(R) gravity with a power-law dependence on the curvature R. Here, we find exact solutions for a model in which the interaction term is related to the total energy density of matter.

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.
