Cardy-Verlinde formula of Kehagias-Sfetsos black hole

In this paper, we have shown that the entropy of the Kehagias-Sfetsos black hole in Ho$\check{\textbf{r}}$ava-Lifshitz (HL) gravity can be expressed by the Cardy-Verlinde formula. The later is supposed to be an entropy formula of conformal field theory in any dimension.Comment: 10 pages, accepted by IJT

Interacting new agegraphic Phantom model of dark energy in non-flat universe

In this paper we consider the new agegraphic model of interacting dark energy in non-flat universe. We show that the interacting agegraphic dark energy can be described by a phantom scalar field. Then we show this phantomic description of the agegraphic dark energy and reconstruct the potential of the phantom scalar field.Comment: 8 pages, no figur

Bouncing cosmological solutions due to the self-gravitational corrections and their stability

In this paper we consider the bouncing braneworld scenario, in which the bulk is given by a five-dimensional AdS black hole spacetime with matter field confined in a $D_3$ brane. Exploiting the CFT/FRW-cosmology relation, we consider the self-gravitational corrections to the first Friedmann-like equation which is the equation of the brane motion. The self-gravitational corrections act as a source of stiff matter contrary to standard FRW cosmology where the charge of the black hole plays this role. Then, we study the stability of solutions with respect to homogeneous and isotropic perturbations. Specifically, if we do not consider the self-gravitational corrections, the AdS black hole with zero ADM mass, and open horizon is an attractor, while, if we consider the self-gravitational corrections, the AdS black hole with zero ADM mass and flat horizon, is a repellerComment: 9 pages, no figure

Holographic Dark Energy Scenario and Variable Modified Chaplygin Gas

In this letter, we have considered that the universe is filled with normal matter and variable modified Chaplygin gas. Also we have considered the interaction between normal matter and variable modified Chaplygin gas in FRW universe. Then we have considered a correspondence between the holographic dark energy density and interacting variable modified Chaplygin gas energy density. Then we have reconstructed the potential of the scalar field which describes the variable modified Chaplygin cosmology.Comment: 4 latex pages, no figures, RevTeX styl

Interacting Three Fluid System and Thermodynamics of the Universe Bounded by the Event Horizon

The work deals with the thermodynamics of the universe bounded by the event horizon. The matter in the universe has three constituents namely dark energy, dark matter and radiation in nature and interaction between then is assumed. The variation of entropy of the surface of the horizon is obtained from unified first law while matter entropy variation is calculated from the Gibbss' law. Finally, validity of the generalized second law of thermodynamics is examined and conclusions are written point wise.Comment: 7 page

Scale transformation, modified gravity, and Brans-Dicke theory

A model of Einstein-Hilbert action subject to the scale transformation is studied. By introducing a dilaton field as a means of scale transformation a new action is obtained whose Einstein field equations are consistent with traceless matter with non-vanishing modified terms together with dynamical cosmological and gravitational coupling terms. The obtained modified Einstein equations are neither those in $f(R)$ metric formalism nor the ones in $f({\cal R})$ Palatini formalism, whereas the modified source terms are {\it formally} equivalent to those of $f({\cal R})=\frac{1}{2}{\cal R}^2$ gravity in Palatini formalism. The correspondence between the present model, the modified gravity theory, and Brans-Dicke theory with $\omega=-\frac{3}{2}$ is explicitly shown, provided the dilaton field is condensated to its vacuum state.Comment: 14 pages, accepted for publication in IJT

The Cardy-Verlinde formula and entropy of the charged rotating BTZ black hole

In this paper we show that the entropy of black hole horizon in charged rotating BTZ space-time can be described by the Cardy-Verlinde formula, which is supposed to be an entropy formula of conformal field theory in any dimension.Comment: 7 page

Interacting Modified Variable Chaplygin Gas in Non-flat Universe

A unified model of dark energy and matter is presented using the modified variable Chaplygin gas for interacting dark energy in a non-flat universe. The two entities interact with each other non-gravitationally which involves a coupling constant. Due to dynamic interaction, the variation in this constant arises that henceforth changes the equations of state of these quantities. We have derived the effective equations of state corresponding to matter and dark energy in this interacting model. Moreover, the case of phantom energy is deduced by putting constraints on the parameters involved.Comment: 9 pages; Accepted for publication in European Physical Journal

Interacting Ricci Dark Energy and its Statefinder Description

In this paper we have considered an interacting Ricci dark energy in flat FRW universe. We have reconstructed the Hubble's parameter under this interaction. Also, we have investigated the statefinder diagnostics. It has been revealed that the equation of state parameter behaves like quintessence in this interaction and from the statefinder diagnostics it has been concluded that the interacting Ricci dark energy interpolates between dust and $\Lambda$CDM stages of the universe.Comment: 9 pages, 3 figure

Statefinder and Om Diagnostics for Interacting New Holographic Dark Energy Model and Generalized Second Law of Thermodynamics

In this work, we have considered that the flat FRW universe is filled with the mixture of dark matter and the new holographic dark energy. If there is an interaction, we have investigated the natures of deceleration parameter, statefinder and $Om$ diagnostics. We have examined the validity of the first and generalized second laws of thermodynamics under these interactions on the event as well as apparent horizon. It has been observed that the first law is violated on the event horizon. However, the generalized second law is valid throughout the evolution of the universe enveloped by the apparent horizon. When the event horizon is considered as the enveloping horizon, the generalized second law is found to break down excepting at late stage of the universe.Comment: 9 pages, 13 figure
