Cosmographic Connection Between Cosmological And Planck Scales: The Barrow-Tsallis Entropy

One of the fundamental challenges of quantum gravity is to understand how the microscopic degrees of freedom of the cosmological horizon shape the evolution of the Universe. One possible approach to this problem is based on the Barrow--Tsallis entropy. This entropy accounts for both quantum gravitational effects and the nonextensive effects inherent in any long-range interaction. By employing an inverse cosmographic reconstruction of the model parameters, we derive a relation between the Barrow parameter, which encodes the microscopic deformation of the horizon geometry, and the Tsallis parameter, which characterizes macroscopic nonextensivity. Within the IR--UV correspondence, this relation determines the scaling of the microscopic length uncertainty in terms of the current cosmographic parameters and demonstrates how long-range nonextensive effects alter the standard Karolyhazy-type scaling. We also applied our cosmographic reconstruction method to evaluate the feasibility of using fractional derivatives to describe the late evolution of the Universe. Within the assumed non-interacting power-law holographic model class, the resulting algebraic relations are exact. For this fixed model class, the observational uncertainty of the reconstructed parameter combination is determined by the current uncertainties in the cosmographic parameters; the quoted uncertainty of $δ$ additionally includes the adopted prior on $Δ$, but not uncertainty associated with the model choice. Propagating the observational errors of the deceleration and jerk parameters and marginalizing over a uniform prior on the Barrow parameter within the adopted interval $Δ\in [-1,1]$, we obtain the Monte Carlo estimate $δ= 1.11 \pm 0.57$ for the nonextensivity parameter, with the jerk parameter providing the largest observational contribution to the error budget.

Phantom-Divide Crossing in Barrow-Tsallis Holographic Dark Energy with a Scale-Dependent Barrow Exponent

We consider a spatially flat cosmological model containing a noninteracting barotropic fluid and holographic dark energy with the future event horizon as the infrared cutoff. We parametrize the deviation of the horizon entropy from the Bekenstein--Hawking form by a smooth positive function of the horizon radius. We reduce the background evolution to a closed autonomous system and analytically describe the crossing of the phantom divide, $w=-1$. For entropies growing more slowly than the fourth power of the radius, the crossing is unique, occurs at an extremum of the event-horizon radius, and proceeds from the quintessence regime into the phantom regime. The local Chevallier-Polarski-Linder coefficient $w_{a,\mathrm{loc}}$ at the crossing is then positive, and its sign directly constrains the local entropy-scaling dimension at the horizon scale. The crossing kinematics yields an exact expression for the local entropy-scaling dimension, and a local prescription for the scale-dependent Barrow exponent in the Barrow--Tsallis entropy enables an analytic reconstruction of the entropy function. The early-time asymptotics remain consistent with the standard matter- and radiation-dominated eras, while the event-horizon consistency criterion selects physically admissible late-time trajectories leading to de Sitter states, to Type III or Big Rip singularities, or, for $δ=1$, to accelerated power-law expansion. The analytic results are illustrated numerically. Within the adopted decomposition of the total entropy, the generalized second law of thermodynamics further requires an additional dark-energy entropy in the phantom regime: the equilibrium entropy evolution implied by the Gibbs relation fails to satisfy the law already at the crossing, where the purely barotropic adiabatic description of perturbations also breaks down.

Cosmology In Terms Of The Deceleration Parameter. Part II

In the early seventies, Alan Sandage defined cosmology as the search for two numbers: Hubble parameter ${{H}_{0}}$ and deceleration parameter ${{q}_{0}}$. The first of the two basic cosmological parameters (the Hubble parameter) describes the linear part of the time dependence of the scale factor. Treating the Universe as a dynamical system it is natural to assume that it is non-linear: indeed, linearity is nothing more than approximation, while non-linearity represents the generic case. It is evident that future models of the Universe must take into account different aspects of its evolution. As soon as the scale factor is the only dynamical variable, the quantities which determine its time dependence must be essentially present in all aspects of the Universe' evolution. Basic characteristics of the cosmological evolution, both static and dynamical, can be expressed in terms of the parameters ${{H}_{0}}$ and ${{q}_{0}}$. The very parameters (and higher time derivatives of the scale factor) enable us to construct model-independent kinematics of the cosmological expansion. Time dependence of the scale factor reflects main events in history of the Universe. Moreover it is the deceleration parameter who dictates the expansion rate of the Hubble sphere and determines the dynamics of the observable galaxy number variation: depending on the sign of the deceleration parameter this number either grows (in the case of decelerated expansion), or we are going to stay absolutely alone in the cosmos (if the expansion is accelerated). The intended purpose of the report is reflected in its title --- "Cosmology in terms of the deceleration parameter". We would like to show that practically any aspect of the cosmological evolution is tightly bound to the deceleration parameter. It is the second part of the report. The first part see here http://arxiv.org/abs/1502.00811

Cosmological Evolution With Interaction Between Dark Energy And Dark Matter

In this review we consider in detail different theoretical topics associated with interaction in the dark sector. We study linear and nonlinear interactions which depend on the dark matter and dark energy densities. We consider a number of different models (including the holographic dark energy and dark energy in a fractal universe) with interacting dark energy (DE) and dark matter (DM), have done a thorough analysis of these models. The main task of this review was not only to give an idea about the modern set of different models of dark energy, but to show how much can be diverse dynamics of the universe in these models. We find that the dynamics of a Universe that contains interaction in the dark sector can differ significantly from the Standard Cosmological Model (SCM).

Dynamics of the Universe in Problems

To our best knowledge, there are no problem books on cosmology yet, that would include its spectacular recent achievements. We believe there is a strong need for such now, when cosmology is swiftly becoming a strict and vast science, and the book would be extremely useful for the youth pouring in this area of research. Indeed, the only way to rise over the popular level in any science is to master its alphabet, that is, to learn to solve problems. Of course, most of modern textbooks on cosmology include problems. However, a reader, exhausted by high theory, may often be thwarted by the lack of time and strength to solve them. Might it be worth sometimes to change the tactics and just throw those who wish to learn to swim into the water? We present an updated version of the "Dynamics of the Universe in Problems" We have the following new sections, 'Gravitational Waves', "Interactions in the Dark Sector", "Horizons" and "Quantum Cosmology" . A number of new problems have been added to almost every section. The total number of problems exceeds fifteen hundred. Solutions to all the problems can be found at www.universeinproblems.com

A Thousand Problems in Cosmology: Interaction in the Dark Sector

This is one chapter of the collection of problems in cosmology, in which we assemble the problems that concern one of the most distinctive features of modern cosmology---the interaction in the Dark Sector. The evolution of any broadly applied model is accompanied by multiple generalizations that aim to resolve conceptual difficulties and to explain the ever-growing pool of observational data. In the case of Standard Cosmological Model one of the most promising directions of generalization is replacement of the cosmological constant with a more complicated, dynamic, form of dark energy and incorporation of interaction between the dark components---dark energy (DE) and dark matter (DM). Typically, DE models are based on scalar fields minimally coupled to gravity, and do not implement explicit coupling of the field to the background DM. However, there is no fundamental reason for this assumption in the absence of an underlying symmetry which would suppress the coupling. Given that we do not know the true nature of either DE or DM, we cannot exclude the possibility that there is some kind of coupling between them. Whereas interactions between DE and normal matter particles are heavily constrained by observations (e.g. in the solar system and gravitational experiments on Earth), this is not the case for DM particles. In other words, it is possible for the dark components to interact with each other while not being coupled to standard model particles. Therefore, the possibility of DE-DM interaction should be investigated with utmost gravity. This version contains only formulations of 117 problems. The full collection, with solutions included, is available in the form of a wiki-based resource at universeinproblems.com. The cosmological community is welcome to contribute to its development.

Expanding Universe: slowdown or speedup?

The kinematics and dynamic interpretation of the cosmological expansion is reviewed in a widely accessible manner with emphasis on the acceleration aspect. Virtually all the approaches that can in principle account for the accelerated expansion of the Universe are reviewed, including dark energy as an item in the energy budget of the Universe; modified Einstein equations; and, on a fundamentally new level, the use of the holographic principle.

Interacting dark energy models in fractal cosmology

We investigate interacting dark energy models in the framework of fractal cosmology. We discuss a fractal FRW universe filled with the dark energy and dark matter which interact with each other. We obtain the equation for the relative density of dark matter and dark energy and the deceleration parameter. This model demonstrates new types of evolution, which are not common to cosmological models with this type of interaction.

Holographic Dynamics as Way to Solve the Basic Cosmological Problems

We review recent results on the cosmological models based on the holographic principle which were proposed to explain the most of the problems occurring in the Standard Cosmological Model. It is shown that these models naturally solve the cosmological constant problem and coincidence problem. Well-documented cosmic acceleration at the present time was analyzed in the light of holographic dark energy. In particular, we showed that in the model of Universe consisting of dark matter interacting with a scalar field on the agegraphic background can explain the transient acceleration. We also study the impact of ideas on the physics of entangled states in these cosmological models. Entanglement entropy of the universe gives holographic dark energy with the equation of state consistent with current observational data.

Interacting agegraphic dark energy models in phase space

Agegraphic dark energy, has been recently proposed, based on the so-called Karolyhazy uncertainty relation, which arises from quantum mechanics together with general relativity. In the first part of the article we study the original agegraphic dark energy model by including the interaction between agegraphic dark energy and pressureless (dark) matter. The phase space analysis was made and the critical points were found, one of which is the attractor corresponding to an accelerated expanding Universe. Recent observations of near supernova show that the acceleration of Universe decreases. This phenomenon is called the transient acceleration. In the second part of Article we consider the 3-component Universe composed of a scalar field, interacting with the dark matter on the agegraphic dark energy background. We show that the transient acceleration appears in frame of such a model. The obtained results agree with the observations.

Cosmic acceleration a new review

Recent observations of near supernova show that the acceleration expansion of Universe decreases. This phenomenon is called the transient acceleration. In the second part of work we consider the 3-component Universe composed of a scalar field, interacting with the dark matter on the agegraphic dark energy background. We show that the transient acceleration appears in frame of such a model. The obtained results agree with the latest cosmological observations, namely, the 557 SNIa sample (Union2) was released by the Supernova Cosmology Project (SCP) Collaboration.
