Abstract

宇宙學 修正重力理論 非保角變換 熱力學 cosmology disformal f(R)gravity thermodynamics
We study thermodynamics in f(R) gravity theory with the disformal transformation.The transformation which is applied to the matter Lagrangian has the formγ_μν = A(ϕ,X)*g_μν + B(ϕ,X)*∂_μ{ϕ}∂_ν{ϕ}with the assumption of the Minkowski matter metric γ_μν = η_μν, where ϕ is the disformal scalar and X is the corresponding kinetic term of ϕ. The generalized first and second laws of the thermodynamics in the Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) universe could be verified. Through the disformal relation, the Hubble parameter contains the disformal field which defines the effectively varying equation of state for matter.
