Accelerated expansion of the universe based on particle creation–destruction processes and dark energy in FLRW universes

Abstract: Particle creation has been considered as a possible justification for the accelerated expansion of the universe, obeying the second law of thermodynamics, together with the possible existence of Dark Energy. This paper introduces the possibility that the destruction of baryonic and/or dark matter particles also verifies the second law of thermodynamics thanks to a particle exchange with dark energy. General equations for the variation of the number of particles in accelerated universes have been obtained. Fina… Show more

“…Accelerated expansion of the universe being due to the dark energy, which is the energy density stored in the vacuum state of all existing fields in the universe, is also one of the many possible alternatives. The variable cosmological constant [29,30] is one of the alternatives to explain the dark-energy problem, compatible with observations. A small and positive value of the effective cosmological constant is predicted by observations in the present epoch.…”

“…In this paper, we shall be dealing with adiabatic GPCM so that we shall not be required to resort to either the first or the second order theories. Now, following Balfagon [31], we see that the thermodynamics of an adiabatic open system with a varying particle number N leads to…”

“…Now, using Eqs. ( 4) and ( 5), and noting that ρ = h n ṅ [31], where h is the enthalpy density, we arrive at a very important relation connecting the bulk viscosity with the rate of particle creation-…”

“…Inserting Eq. ( 3) and the relation ṅ + 3Hn = nΓ [10,33,34,35] into Eq. (2) where Γ is the particle creation rate, we obtain ρ + 3H(ρ + p + p e ) = 0, (4) where the effect of particle creation is expressed as an extra pressure…”
