FLRW non-singular cosmological model in general relativity

Abstract: A singularity free cosmological model is obtained in a homogeneous and isotropic background with a specific form of the Hubble parameter in the presence of an interacting dark energy represented by a time-varying cosmological constant in general relativity. Different cases that arose have been extensively studied for different values of the curvature parameter. Some interesting results have been found with this form of the Hubble parameter to meet the possible negative value of the deceleration parameter −1/3 ≤ q < 0 as the current observations reveal. For some particular values of these parameters, the model reduces to Berman’s model.

Abstract: We investigate Kaniadakis-holographic dark energy by confronting it with observations. We perform a Markov Chain Monte Carlo analysis using cosmic chronometers, supernovae type Ia, and Baryon Acoustic Oscillations data. Concerning the Kaniadakis parameter, we find that it is constrained around zero, namely around the value in which Kaniadakis entropy recovers standard Bekenstein-Hawking one. Additionally, for the present matter density parameter $\Omega_m^{(0)}$, we obtain a value slightly smaller compared to $\Lambda$CDM scenario. Furthermore, we reconstruct the evolution of the Hubble, deceleration and jerk parameters extracting the deceleration-acceleration transition redshift as $z_T = 0.86^{+0.21}_{-0.14}$. Finally, performing a detailed local and global dynamical system analysis, we find that the past attractor of the Universe is the matter-dominated solution, while the late-time stable solution is the dark-energy-dominated one.

Holographic dark energy interacting with two fluids and validity of generalized second law of thermodynamics

Abstract: We have considered a cosmological model of holographic dark energy interacting with dark matter and another unknown component of dark energy of the universe. We have assumed two interaction terms Q and Q′ in order to include the scenario in which the mutual interaction between the two principal components (i.e., holographic dark energy and dark matter) of the universe leads to some loss in other forms of cosmic constituents. Our model is valid for any sign of Q and Q′. If Q Q′, then dark matter energy receives from dark energy and from the unknown component of dark energy. Observation suggests that dark energy decays into dark matter. Here we have presented a general prescription of a cosmological model of dark energy which imposes mutual interaction between holographic dark energy, dark matter and another fluid. We have obtained the equation of state for the holographic dark energy density which is interacting with dark matter and other unknown component of dark energy. Using first law of thermodynamics, we have obtained the entropies for holographic dark energy, dark matter and other component of dark energy, when holographic dark energy interacting with two fluids (i.e., dark matter and other component of dark energy). Also we have found the entropy at the horizon when the radius (L) of the event horizon measured on the sphere of the horizon. We have investigated the GSL of thermodynamics at the present time for the universe enveloped by this horizon. Finally, it has been obtained validity of GSL which implies some bounds on deceleration parameter q.
