Thermodynamics of the Apparent Horizon in FRW Universe with Massive Gravity

Applying Clausius relation with energy-supply defined by the unified first law of thermodynamics formalism to the apparent horizon of a massive gravity model in cosmology proposed lately, the corrected entropic formula of the apparent horizon is obtained with the help of the modified Friedmann equations. This entropy-area relation, together with the identified Misner-Sharp internal energy, verifies the first law of thermodynamics for the apparent horizon with a volume change term for consistency. On the other hand, by means of the corrected entropy-area formula and the Clausius relation δQ=TdS, where the heat flow δQ is the energy-supply of pure matter projecting on the vector ξ tangent to the apparent horizon and should be looked on as the amount of energy crossing the apparent horizon during the time interval dt and the temperature of the apparent horizon for energy crossing during the same interval is 1/(2πA), the modified Friedmann equations governing the dynamical evolution of the universe are reproduced with the known energy density and pressure of massive graviton. The integration constant is found to correspond to a cosmological term which could be absorbed into the energy density of matter. Having established the correspondence of massive cosmology with the unified first law of thermodynamics on the apparent horizon, the validity of the generalized second law of thermodynamics is also discussed by assuming the thermal equilibrium between the apparent horizon and the matter field bounded by the apparent horizon. It is found that, in the limit Hc→0, which recovers the Minkowski reference metric solution in the flat case, the generalized second law of thermodynamics holds if α3+4α40. Without this condition, even for the simplest model of dRGT massive cosmology with α3 =α4 =0, the generalized second law of thermodynamics could be violated.     

Thermodynamical Aspects of Modified Holographic Dark Energy Model

We investigate the unified first law and the generalized second law in a modified holographic dark energy model. The thermodynamical analysis on the apparent horizon can work and the corresponding entropy formula is extracted from the systematic algorithm. The entropy correction term depends on the extra-dimension number of the brane as expected, but the interplay between the correction term and the extra dimensions is more complicated. With the unified first law of thermodynamics well-founded, the generalized second law of thermodynamics is discussed and it is found that the second law can be violated in certain circumstances. Particularly, if the number of the extra dimensions is larger than one, the generalized law of thermodynamics is always satisfied; otherwise, the validity of the second law can only be guaranteed with the Hubble radius greatly smaller than the crossover scale rcof the 5-dimensional DGP model.

Hawking Radiation of Apparent Horizon in a FRW Universe as Tunneling Beyond Semiclassical Approximation

An analysis of Hawking radiation about apparent horizon in a FRW universe is performed by using the method developed in the paper (Banerjee, Majhi in JHEP 06:095 2008), in which the Hawking radiation of a black hole is treated as the quantum tunneling by Hamilton-Jacobi method beyond semiclassical approximation and then all the higher order quantum corrections can be given out. In our analysis, the Kodama vector instead of the Killing vector to define the energy of the particle plays a key role. We present our analysis under the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker like coordinate system and the much-like to Painlevé coordinate system respectively. The result show that the formulized procedure can be extended to fully analyse the Hawking radiation of a dynamical system.

Thermodynamics of de Sitter Black Holes in Massive Gravity

In this paper, by taking de Sitter space-time as a thermodynamic system, we study the effective thermodynamic quantities of de Sitter black holes in massive gravity, and furthermore obtain the effective thermodynamic quantities of the space-time. Our results show that the entropy of this type of space-time takes the same form as that in Reissner-Nordstr¨om-de Sitter space-time, which lays a solid foundation for deeply understanding the universal thermodynamic characteristics of de Sitter space-time in the future. Moreover, our analysis indicates that the effective thermodynamic quantities and relevant parameters play a very important role in the investigation of the stability and evolution of de Sitter space-time.     

Generalized Second Law of Thermodynamics in Parabolic LTB Inhomogeneous Cosmology

We study thermodynamics of the parabolic Lemaitre-Tolman-Bondi (LTB) cosmology supported by a perfect fluid source. This model is the natural generalization of the flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) universe, and describes an inhomogeneous universe with spherical symmetry. After reviewing some basic equations in the parabolic LTB cosmology, we obtain a relation for the deceleration parameter in this model. We also obtain a condition for which the universe undergoes an accelerating phase at the present time. We use the first law of thermodynamics on the apparent horizon together with the Einstein field equations to get a relation for the apparent horizon entropy in LTB cosmology. We find out that in LTB model of cosmology, the apparent horizon's entropy could be feeded by a term, which incorporates the effects of the inhomogeneity. We consider this result and get a relation for the total entropy evolution, which is used to examine the generalized second law of thermodynamics for an accelerating universe. We also verify the validity of the second law and the generalized second law of thermodynamics for a universe filled with some kinds of matters bounded by the event horizon in the framework of the parabolic LTB model.     

Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics of Dark Energy on Cosmic Apparent Horizon

In recent several years, some works have been done on cosmic thermodynamics. The apparent horizon was regarded as the key characteristic supersurface where thermodynamics can be built on perfectly. However, if the irreversible process is considered, the proper position for building thermodynamics will not be the apparent horizon anymore. The new position is related to dark energy state equation and the irreversible process parameters.     

Accretion onto Charged Black Holes in Einstein and Massive Theories of Gravity *

The accretion process is being investigated onto some important black holes such as Born-Infeld-AdS black hole, non-linear charged black hole solution in AdS space-time and Einstein-Yang-Mills massive gravity in the presence of Born-Infeld nonlinear electrodynamics. We find out the relations of radial velocity, energy density and change of mass for mention black holes and analyze their behavior graphically for different values of equation of state parameters $\omega$. We also examine the relations for critical speed for these black holes. It is observed that for different state parameters different fluids exhibit different evolutions in black holes backgrounds. The energy density of some fluids is negative or positive near the black hole while other fluids become cause to increase or decrease in black hole mass.

Second Law of Thermodynamics for Macroscopic Mechanics Coupled to Thermodynamic Degrees of Freedom

Starting from and only using classical Hamiltonian dynamics, we prove the maximum work principle in a system where macroscopic dynamical degrees of freedom are intrinsically coupled to microscopic degrees of freedom. Unlike in many of the standard and recent works on the second law, the macroscopic dynamics is not governed by an external action but undergoes the back reaction of the microscopic degrees of freedom. Our theorems cover such physical situations as impact between macroscopic bodies, thermodynamic machines, and molecular motors. Our work identifies and quantifies the physical limitations on the applicability of the second law for small systems.

f(T) Non-linear Massive Gravity and the Cosmic Acceleration

Inspired by the f(R) non-linear massive gravity,we propose a new kind of modified gravity model,namely f(T) non-linear massive gravity,by adding the dRGT mass term reformulated in the vierbein formalism,to the f(T)theory.We then investigate the cosmological evolution of f(T) massive gravity,and constrain it by using the latest observational data.We find that it slightly favors a crossing of the phantom divide line from the quintessence-like phase(ω_(de) -1) to the phantom-like one(ω_(de) -1) as redshift decreases.     

The Second Law of Thermodynamics in a Quantum Heat Engine Model

The second law of thermodynamics has been proven by many facts in classical world. Is there any new property of it in quantum world? In this paper, we calculate the change of entropy in T.D. Kieu's model for quantum heat engine (QHE) and prove the broad validity of the second law of thermodynamics. It is shown that the entropy of the quantum heat engine neither decreases in a whole cycle, nor decreases in either stage of the cycle. The second law of thermodynamics still holds in this QHE model. Moreover, although the modified quantum heat engine is capable of extracting more work, its efficiency does not improve at all. It is neither beyond the efficiency of T.D. Kieu's initial model, nor greater than the reversible Carnot efficiency.     

A Note on Friedmann Equation of FRW Universe in DeformedHo\v{r}ava-Lifshitz Gravity from Entropic Force

With entropic interpretation of gravity proposed by Verlinde, we obtain the Friedmann equation of the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe for the deformed Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz gravity. It is shown that, when the parameter of Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz gravityω→∝, the modified Friedmann equation will go back to the one in Einstein gravity. This results may imply that the entropic interpretation of gravity is effective for the deformed Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz gravity.     

The Generalized Second Law for the Interacting New Agegraphic Dark Energy in a Non-flat FRW Universe Enclosed by the Dynamical Apparent Horizon

We investigate the validity of the generalized second law of gravitational thermodynamics on the dynamical apparent horizon in a non-flat FRW universe containing the interacting new agegraphic dark energy with dark matter. We show that for this model, the equation of state parameter can cross the phantom divide line. We also present that for the selected model under thermal equilibrium with the Hawking radiation, the generalized second law is always satisfied throughout the history of the universe. Whereas, the evolution of the entropy of the universe and dynamical apparent horizon, separately, depends on the equation of state parameter of the interacting new agegraphic dark energy model.     

Regular Self-Consistent Geometries with Infinite Quantum Backreaction in 2D Dilaton Gravity and Black Hole Thermodynamics: Unfamiliar Features of Familiar Models

We analyze the rather unusual properties of some exact solutions in 2D dilaton gravity for which infinite quantum stresses on the Killing horizon can be compatible with regularity of the geometry. In particular, the Boulware state can support a regular horizon. We show that such solutions are contained in some well-known exactly solvable models (for example, RST). Formally, they appear to account for an additional coefficient B in the solutions (for the same Lagrangian which contains also traditional solutions) that gives rise to the deviation of temperature T from its Hawking value T _H . The Lorentzian geometry, which is a self-consistent solution of the semiclassical field equations, in such models, is smooth even at B0 and there is no need to put B=0 (T=T _H ) to smooth it out. We show how the presence of B0 affects the structure of spacetime. In contrast to usual black holes, full fledged thermodynamic interpretation, including definite value of entropy, can be ascribed (for a rather wide class of models) to extremal horizons, not to nonextreme ones. We find also new exact solutions for usual black holes (with T=T _H ). The properties under discussion arise in the weak-coupling regime of the effective constant of dilaton-gravity interaction. Extension of features, traced in 2D models, to 4D dilaton gravity leads, for some special models, to exceptional nonextreme black holes having no own thermal properties.     

An Alternative Study about the Geometry and the First Law of Thermodynamics for AdS Lovelock Gravity,Using the Definition of Conserved Charges

In this work, we introduce an extension of the study of the first law of thermodynamics of black holes based on the geometry of the extended phase space for AdS Lovelock gravities, which includes changes in scales. As expected, the result obtained coincides with the previously known four-dimensional case. For higher dimensions, the result is the rise of two new contributions to the first law of thermodynamics. The first term corresponds to corrections of the usual definition of thermodynamic volumes at the horizon due to the presence of the higher curvature terms. The second term arises in odd dimensions, comes from the asymptotic region, and corresponds to a scale transformation of the form ∝δ^ln(l/ℓ), with l the AdS radius and ℓ a parameter. A particularly interesting case corresponds to the Chern Simons gravity where the change scale does not generate a contribution at the asymptotic region, likely due to the Chern Simons AdS local symmetry.
