abstract

We present a novel cosmological framework that unifies matter creation dynamics with thermodynamic principles. Starting with a single-component fluid characterized by a constant equation of state parameter, $\omega$, we introduce a generalized second law of thermodynamics by considering the entropy associated with the cosmic horizon. Imposing an adiabatic expansion condition uniquely determines the particle creation rate, $\Gamma$, a feature unprecedented in previous matter creation models. This mechanism yields a cosmology featuring phantom-like expansion while relying solely on a single constituent, which can be either a quintessence-like fluid or a non-exotic, non-relativistic dark matter component. Remarkably, this framework avoids the need for exotic physics while providing a consistent explanation for the accelerated expansion of the universe. Our results open new pathways for understanding the interplay between horizon thermodynamics, particle creation, and cosmic evolution, offering fresh insights into the nature of dark energy and its potential thermodynamic origins.

    and ( 10) in this case dSi = nσ Γ 3H dV. (16) Assuming that these effects are connected through the concept of an expanding adiabatic universe, where the increase in horizon entropy is compensated by the en- tropy generated through particle production, allows for the determination of the particle production rate. The next question is whether this specific f...

    we can write it in the usual form of a conserved equation, with now having an extra pressure term d(ρV ) =− (p + pc)dV, (7) where we have identified pc =− ρ + P n d(nV ) dV . (8) This expression can be rewritten in terms of Γ using Eq.( 1) pc =− ( ρ + P 3H ) Γ . (9) This is the source that produces the acceleration of the universe expansion. Once the parti...

    we get pc =− (1 + ω ) ρ Γ 3H , (20) and replacing in ( 19) we get pc = 2π σN (1 + ω ) (1 + q) , (21) where we have used ( 11). This is the explicit expression that the creation pressure takes in our model. Notice that if we assume Γ > 0, which implies as we have men- tioned be...
