abstract

we investigate the growth of matter density perturbations as well as the generalized second law (gsl) of thermodynamics in the framework of f(r)-gravity. we consider a spatially flat frw universe filled with the pressureless matter and radiation which is enclosed by the dynamical apparent horizon with the hawking temperature. for some viable f(r) models containing the starobinsky, hu-sawicki, exponential, tsujikawa and ab models, we first explore numerically the evolution of some cosmo-logical parameters like the hubble parameter, the ricci scalar, the deceleration param-eter, the density parameters and the equation of state parameters. then, we examine the validity of gsl and obtain the growth factor of structure formation. we find that for the aforementioned models, the gsl is satisfied from the early times to the present epoch. but in the farther future, the gsl for all models is violated. our numerical results also show that for all models, the growth factor for larger structures, like the λcdm model, fit the data very well.

Structure formation and generalized second law of thermodynamics in some viable f(R)-gravity models

We investigate the growth of matter density perturbations as well as the generalized second law (GSL) of thermodynamics in the framework of f(R)-gravity. We consider a spatially flat FRW universe filled with the pressureless matter and radiation which is enclosed by the dynamical apparent horizon with the Hawking temperature. For some viable f(R) models containing the Starobinsky, Hu-Sawicki, Exp...

Generalized Second Law of Thermodynamics in Extended Theories of Gravity

By employing the general expression of temperature Th = |κ|/2π = 1 2πr̃A (1 − ̇̃ rA 2Hr̃A ) associated with the apparent horizon of a FRW universe and assuming a region of FRW universe enclosed by the apparent horizon as a thermal system in equilibrium, we are able to show that the generalized second law of thermodynamics holds in Gauss-Bonnet gravity and in more general Lovelock gravity. PACS num...

The Generalized Second Law of Thermodynamics in Cosmology

A classical and quantum mechanical generalized second law of thermodynamics in cosmology implies constraints on the effective equation of state of the universe in the form of energy conditions, obeyed by many known cosmological solutions, and is compatible with entropy bounds which forbid certain cosmological singularities. In string cosmology the second law provides new information about the e...

Bayesian second law of thermodynamics.

We derive a generalization of the second law of thermodynamics that uses Bayesian updates to explicitly incorporate the effects of a measurement of a system at some point in its evolution. By allowing an experimenter's knowledge to be updated by the measurement process, this formulation resolves a tension between the fact that the entropy of a statistical system can sometimes fluctuate downward...

Evolution and the second law of thermodynamics

Skeptics of biological evolution often claim that evolution requires a decrease in entropy, giving rise to a conflict with the second law of thermodynamics. This argument is fallacious because it neglects the large increase in entropy provided by sunlight striking the Earth. A recent article provided a quantitative assessment of the entropies involved and showed explicitly that there is no conf...
