First-order phase transitions and cosmic evolution: thermodynamic approach to generalized holographic dark energy

Abstract

Focusing on the description of cosmic evolution at late times, this study examines a generalized holographic dark energy (HDE) framework constructed via a polynomial expansion in the Hubble parameter, which includes contributions proportional to $H^2$, $H^4$, and $H^6$, introduced through a variable parameter within the standard holographic formula. The analysis is carried out in the context of a spatially flat Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) Universe, consisting of non-interacting matter together with the HDE fluid. We obtain the full set of Friedmann equations to investigate cosmic evolution and then analyze the system to determine whether thermodynamic $P-v$ type phase transitions can occur.
