Exploring Modifications to FLRW Cosmology with General Entropy and Thermodynamics: A new Approach

Abstract

The investigation of modifications to the FLRW cosmology resulting from the consideration of a general entropy for the cosmological apparent horizon is the subject of this study. Building upon the work of Nojiri and collaborators in 2022, who introduced a class of generalized entropies with four parameters capable of converging to familiar entropies and addressing specific cosmological issues, our research explores the impact of correcting the entropy on the energy-momentum tensor of the cosmic fluid from the outset. Our calculations demonstrate that, by employing a correction function $f(\rho )$ to modify the energy-momentum density tensor, the entropic area law (Bekenstein-Hawking entropy) can still be regarded as a general entropy. The construction of the function $f(\rho )$ is facilitated through considerations of the thermodynamics associated with the apparent horizon. Additionally, we investigate the first and second laws of thermodynamics within this framework and illustrate how the limitations imposed on the equation of state of the cosmic fluid can be resolved through the incorporation of this correction function. Finally, we compute cosmography parameters to analyze the kinematics of the universe, with particular attention given to the notable influence of the correction function $f(\rho )$ on these parameters. This paper provides valuable insights into the application of general entropies to the apparent horizon of the universe.
