The Generalized Second Law and the Spatial Curvature Index
Diego Pavon
By applying the generalized second law to the apparent horizon of a homogeneous and isotropic universe and imposing that the equation of state is no less than , it is seen that…
Checking the second law at cosmic scales
Narayan Banerjee, Purba Mukherjee, Diego Pavón
Based on recent data about the history of the Hubble factor, it is argued that the second law of thermodynamics holds at the largest scales accessible to observation. This is consi…
Spatial Curvature and Thermodynamics
Narayan Banerjee, Purba Mukherjee, Diego Pavón
Reasonable parametrizations of the current Hubble data set of the expansion rate of our homogeneous and isotropic universe, after suitable smoothing of these data, strongly suggest…
On the degrees of freedom of a black hole
Diego Pavon
By examining whether black holes fulfill the theorem of equipartition of energy we find that the notion of degrees of freedom, previously introduced for cosmic horizons, is meaning…
Fluctuations of the flux of energy on the apparent horizon
Jose P. Mimoso, Diego Pavon
Adopting the Landau-Lifshiftz method of classical fluctuations we determine the statistical average strength of the fluctuations of the energy flux on the apparent horizon of a hom…
Dark Matter and Dark Energy Interactions: Theoretical Challenges, Cosmological Implications and Observational Signatures
B. Wang, E. Abdalla, F. Atrio-Barandela +1
Models where Dark Matter and Dark Energy interact with each other have been proposed to solve the coincidence problem. We review the motivations underlying the need to introduce su…
