abstract

In this paper we revisit the relation between the Friedmann equations and the first law of thermodynamics. We find that the unified first law firstly proposed by Hayward to treat the "outer"trapping horizon of dynamical black hole can be used to the apparent horizon (a kind of "inner" trapping horizon in the context of the FRW cosmology) of the FRW universe. We discuss three kinds of gravity theorties: Einstein theory, Lovelock thoery and scalar-tensor theory. In Einstein theory, the first law of thermodynamics is always satisfied on the apparent horizon. In Lovelock theory, treating the higher derivative terms as an effective energy-momentum tensor, we find that this method can give the same entropy formula for the apparent horizon as that of black hole horizon. This implies that the Clausius relation holds for the Lovelock theory. In scalar-tensor gravity, we find, by using the same procedure, the Clausius relation no longer holds. This indicates that the apparent horizon of FRW universe in the scalar-tensor gravity corresponds to a system of non-equilibrium thermodynamics. We show this point by using the method developed recently by Eling {\it et al.} for dealing with the $f(R)$ gravity.

  1. Cosmological consequences of scale-dependent Barrow-Tsallis entropy

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A scale-dependent Barrow-Tsallis entropy cosmology fits cosmic data but is statistically disfavored versus ΛCDM, with only a modest and partially circular Hubble-tension 'alleviation'.

  2. Early- and late-time constraints on Wald-Gauss-Bonnet topological dark energy and implications for the $H_0$ and $S_8$ tensions

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A joint CMB, BAO, and supernova fit mildly prefers a non-zero Wald-Gauss-Bonnet dark-energy term (~3σ with SH0ES included), raising H0 from 68.5 to 69.8 km/s/Mpc and easing the Hubble tension by ~0.9σ at the cost of a...

  3. Observational constraints on Luciano-Saridakis entropic cosmology

    astro-ph.CO 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    First background-level constraints on Luciano-Saridakis entropic cosmology using CC, Pantheon+ with SH0ES, DESI DR2 BAO and compressed Planck data show robust fit, 2sigma exclusion of LambdaCDM, and potential Hubble t...

  4. Background instability of quintessence model in light of entropy and distance conjecture

    hep-th 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    An entropy comparison shows quintessence backgrounds with a finite event horizon are unstable, equating the trans-Planckian censorship bound with a species-entropy growth condition.

  5. Lorentz Violation in Emergent Gravity and Its Cosmological Consequences

    gr-qc 2025-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Emergent gravity is recast as an Otto cycle; adding work legs yields Lorentz violation and matter creation that can drive late-time cosmic acceleration.

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

    gr-qc 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    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.

  7. Thermodynamics of FLRW universe in Quadratic Gravity

    gr-qc 2025-07 reject novelty 5.0 of 10

    Quadratic-gravity terms are claimed to shift the thermodynamic phase structure of the FLRW apparent horizon, but the printed critical-radius formula does not follow from the paper's own equation of state.

  8. Observational constraints on the modified cosmology inspired by string T-duality

    gr-qc 2025-10 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Late-time data bound the T-duality zero-point-length coupling to β ≲ 10^-3, leaving ΛCDM statistically equivalent.

  9. Multinomial probit model based on joint quantile regression

    stat.ME 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    The abstract proposes a Bayesian joint quantile regression version of the multinomial probit model for choice data, estimable by Gibbs sampling, but the attached full text is a different paper on higher-derivative gravity.

  10. Dark energy era with a resolution of Hubble tension in generalized entropic cosmology

    gr-qc 2025-07 reject novelty 4.0 of 10

    A generalized-entropy dark energy model with one fitted extra parameter returns H0 near 73 km/s/Mpc on some datasets, but the reported model-comparison statistics do not favor it over LambdaCDM.
