abstract
We study the inflationary era of the Universe in a modified cosmological scenario based on the gravity-thermodynamics conjecture with Barrow entropy instead of the usual Bekenstein-Hawking one. The former arises from the effort to account for quantum gravitational effects on the horizon surface of black holes and, in a broader sense, of the Universe. First, we extract modified Friedmann equations from the first law of thermodynamics applied to the apparent horizon of a Friedmann- Robertson-Walker Universe in (n + 1)-dimensions. Assuming a power-law behavior for the scalar inflaton field, we then investigate how the inflationary dynamics is affected in Barrow cosmological setup. We find that the inflationary era may phenomenologically consist of the slow-roll phase, while Barrow entropy is incompatible with kinetic inflation. By demanding observationally consistency of the scalar spectral index and tensor-to-scalar ratio with recent Planck data, we finally constrain Barrow exponent to $\Delta\lesssim10^{-4}$.

The generalized second law as a thermodynamic selection criterion for dynamical dark energy
The generalized second law imposes complementary bounds on the horizon entropy scaling k in phantom and quintessence regimes, selecting k=2 at a smooth phantom-divide crossing.

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

Modified Cosmology from Mass-to-Horizon Relation: Observational Bounds
Observational constraints pin the MHR entropy exponent to |m−1|≲10⁻⁴ when γ is fixed, and Bayesian evidence disfavors all tested horizon-entropy extensions relative to ΛCDM.

Constraints on Barrow and Tsallis Holographic Dark Energy from DESI DR2 BAO data
Barrow and Tsallis holographic dark energy models fit DESI DR2 data but are disfavored by information criteria versus LambdaCDM and do not ease the Hubble tension.
