The special relativity laws emerge as one-parameter (light speed) generalizations of the corresponding laws of classical physics. These generalizations, imposed by the Lorentz transformations, affect both the definition of the various physical observables (e.g. momentum, energy, etc), as well as the mathematical apparatus of the theory. Here, following the general lines of [Phys. Rev. E {\bf 66}, 056125 (2002)], we show that the Lorentz transformations impose also a proper one-parameter generalization of the classical Boltzmann-Gibbs-Shannon entropy. The obtained relativistic entropy permits to construct a coherent and selfconsistent relativistic statistical theory, preserving the main features of the ordinary statistical theory, which recovers in the classical limit. The predicted distribution function is a one-parameter continuous deformation of the classical Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution and has a simple analytic form, showing power law tails in accordance with the experimental evidence. Furthermore the new statistical mechanics can be obtained as stationary case of a generalized kinetic theory governed by an evolution equation obeying the H-theorem and reproducing the Boltzmann equation of the ordinary kinetics in the classical limit.

    Links generalized black hole entropies to scalar-tensor gravity via Misner-Sharp mass and Wald entropy, yielding distinct scalar potentials with cosmological implications.

  3. Scalar-Tensor Gravity as a Probe of Generalized Black Hole Entropy

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Generalized black-hole entropies are realized via Misner–Sharp mass and Wald entropy in scalar-tensor gravity, yielding distinct Einstein-frame scalar potentials with cosmological implications.

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    The authors derive modified Friedmann equations from Kaniadakis entropy, compute inflationary observables, and find that Planck data require the deformation parameter kappa to be strongly suppressed in the standard ca...

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.0

    A generalized-entropy black-hole model with horizon temperature fixed by entropy predicts sign-controlled ISCO, shadow, and efficiency shifts, but relies on an arbitrary exterior profile p.

  6. ACT-DR6 consistent inflation in generalised entropic cosmology and $f(Q)$ gravity

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.0

    Reconstruction produces explicit f(Q) and generalised-entropic inflation models (and scalar-coupled versions) whose slow-roll parameters match ACT-DR6 + Planck-BAO constraints on n_s and r.

  7. Modified Cosmology from Mass-to-Horizon Relation: Background Evolution

    gr-qc 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Viable generalized horizon entropies from the mass-to-horizon relation are restricted to a narrow neighborhood around the Bekenstein-Hawking law, yielding only Lambda-CDM-like background evolution.

  8. Hamilton-Jacobi Approach to Inflationary Scenarios through Extended Entropies: An Observational Perspective

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Hamilton-Jacobi analysis of slow-roll inflation with non-Bekenstein-Hawking entropies yields fitted entropy parameters (δ≈1.1-1.2, α∼10^{-14}, K∼10^{-17}) consistent with ns and r data.

  9. Ghost Dark Energy in the Modified Kaniadakis Cosmology

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 3.5

    Interacting ghost dark energy in Kaniadakis-corrected cosmology mildly shifts acceleration onset and approaches ΛCDM, remaining generally unstable though less so for larger λ.
