In this work we derive a generalized Newtonian gravitational force and show that it can account for the anomalous galactic rotation curves. We derive the entropy-area relationship applying the Feynman-Hibbs procedure to the supersymmetric Wheeler-DeWitt equation of the Schwarzschild black hole. We obtain the modifications to the Newtonian gravitational force from the entropic formulation of gravity.
In this work, we study a Friedmann–Robertson–Walker (FRW) universe derived from a modified entropy–area relationship. By applying the first law of thermodynamics to the so-called apparent horizon and a modified entropy–area relationship, we obtain a modified Friedmann equation. Solving this model for a perfect fluid with vanishing cosmological constant, we find that for early times, the scale factor is the same as that of an FRW universe. In the late-time regime, although the cosmological constant is zero, the asymptotic behavior of the scale factor is exponential, and therefore, we can identify an effective cosmological constant. The origin of the effective cosmological constant can be traced to the modifications of the entropy–area relation.
We use the ideas of entropic gravity to derive the FRW cosmological model and show that for late time evolution we have an effective cosmological constant. By using the first law of thermodynamics and the modified entropy area relationship derived from the supersymmetric Wheeler-DeWitt equation of the Schwarzschild black hole, we obtain modifications to the Friedmann equations that in the late time regime gives an effective positive cosmological constant. Therefore, this simple model can account for the dark energy component of the universe by providing an entropic origin to the cosmological constant Λ.
In this work, we study the symmetry breaking conditions, given by a (anti)de Sitter-valued vector field, of a full (anti)de Sitter-invariant MacDowell–Mansouri inspired action. We show that under these conditions, the action breaks down to General Relativity with a cosmological constant, the four-dimensional topological invariants, as well as the Holst term. We obtain the equations of motion of this action, and analyze the symmetry breaking conditions.
