Entropy Growth and the Dark Energy Equation of State ∗
نویسندگان
چکیده
We revisit the conjecture of a generalized second law of thermodynamics which states that the combined entropy of matter and horizons must grow. In an expanding universe a generalized second law restricts the equation of state. In particular, it conflicts with long phases of a phantom, w < −1, equation of state.

Calculation of Thermodynamic Properties of the Quasi-one Dimensional Liquid 3He at Finite Temperature
We have used a variational approach to calculate some thermodynamic properties of the quasi-one dimensional liquid 3He such as the energy, entropy, free energy, equation of state and heat capacity at finite temperature. We have employed the Lennard-Jones potential as the inter-atomic interaction. We have seen that the total energy increases by increasing both temperature and density....
متن کاملInformation Equation of State
Landauer’s principle is applied to information in the universe. Once stars began forming there was a constant information energy density as the increasing proportion of matter at high stellar temperatures exactly compensated for the expanding universe. The information equation of state was close to the dark energy value, w = -1, for a wide range of redshifts, 10> z >0.8, over one half of cosmic...
متن کاملEntropy Bounds and Dark Energy
Entropy bounds render quantum corrections to the cosmological constant Λ finite. Under certain assumptions, the natural value of Λ is of order the observed dark energy density ∼ 10 −10 eV 4 , thereby resolving the cosmological constant problem. We note that the dark energy equation of state in these scenarios is w ≡ p/ρ = 0 over cosmo-logical distances, and is strongly disfavored by observation...
متن کاملA Dynamic Dark Information Energy Consistent with Planck Data
The 2013 cosmology results from the European Space Agency Planck spacecraft provide new limits to the dark energy equation of state parameter. Here we show that Holographic Dark Information Energy (HDIE), a dynamic dark energy model, achieves an optimal fit to the published datasets where Planck data is combined with other astrophysical measurements. HDIE uses Landauer’s principle to account fo...
متن کاملOn the Growth of Perturbations as a Test of Dark Energy and Gravity
The strongest evidence for dark energy comes presently from geometric techniques such as the supernova distance-redshift relation. By combining the measured expansion history with the Friedmann equation one determines the energy density and its time evolution, hence the equation of state of dark energy. Because these methods rely on the Friedmann equation which has not been independently tested...
