Energy Definition and Dark Energy: A Thermodynamic Analysis

Abstract: Accepting the Komar mass definition of a source with energy-momentum tensor Tµν, and using the thermodynamic pressure definition, we find a relaxed energy-momentum conservation law. Thereinafter, we study some cosmological consequences of the obtained energy-momentum conservation law. It has been found out that the dark sectors of cosmos are unifiable into one cosmic fluid in our setup. While this cosmic fluid impels the universe to enter an accelerated expansion phase, it may even show a baryonic behavior by … Show more

“…( 5) in order to introduce the generalized energy-momentum tensor Θ µν = T µν − (κ ′ λ ′ )/(4κ ′ λ ′ − 1)T g µν which finally leads to the GR counterpart form of the Rastall field equations, given as G µν = κ ′ Θ µν . In this manner, although the obtained field equations are similar to those of GR, their solutions for T µν differ in general from those of GR [66,69], a result confirmed by various observational data, see e.g., [45,54,69] and references therein).…”

“…In GRT, cosmological scenarios [43,59,62,63] imply the power of non-minimal coupling in i) providing both singular and non-singular universes, ii) describing the particle production process, iii) avoiding the coincidence problem, and iv) playing the role of dark energy (unlike the original Rastall theory [43,64]). In this regard, thermodynamically it has also been shown that the confusion in defining energy and some of its outcomes which may lead to the OCL generalization (or equivalently, the breakdown of OCL) could make the cosmos dark [65,66].…”

“…A simple generalization for the energy that overcomes some of the thermodynamics inconsistencies is the Komar energy, which is given by U K = (ρ + 3 p)V , see for instance the Refs. [65,66], where some cosmological features of this energy are explored in detail. Note that when the Komar energy is considered we are taking into account the effects of the cosmological fluid pressure, therefore we have a more realistic description of the cosmic evolution.…”
