Abstract: Applying the modified Barrow entropy, inspired by the quantum fluctuation effects, to the cosmological background, and using thermodynamics-gravity conjuncture, the Friedmann equations get modified as well. In this paper, we explore the holographic dark energy with Granda-Oliveros (GO) IR cutoff, in the context of the modified Barrow cosmology. First, we assume two dark components of the universe evolves independently and obtain the cosmological parameters and explore the cosmic evolution. Second, we consider an interaction term between dark energy (DE) and dark matter (DM). We observe that the Barrow parameter $delta$ crucially affects the cosmic dynamics, causes the transition from the decelerating phase to the accelerating phase occurs later. We find out that the equation of state parameter is in the quintessence region in the past and crosses the phantom divide at the present time. Finally, we examine the squared speed of sound analysis for this model. According to the squared sound speed diagrams, the results indicate that the presence of interaction between DM and DE as well as increasing in the value of $delta$ leads to the manifestation of signs of instability in the past $(v_s^2<0)$. Furthermore, by examining the statefinder, we find that presence of $delta$ also makes a distinction between holographic dark energy in Barrow cosmology with GO-IR cutoff and the $Lambda$CDM model. In fact, increasing $delta$ causes the statefinder diagram move away from the point of $leftlbrace r,srightrbrace= leftlbrace 1,0rightrbrace$ at $z=0$.

Abstract: We present a new computation of the renormalized graviton self-energy induced by a loop of massless, minimally coupled scalars on de Sitter background. Our result takes account of the need to include a finite renormalization of the cosmological constant, which was not included in the first analysis. We also avoid preconceptions concerning structure functions and instead express the result as a linear combination of 21 tensor differential operators. By using our result to quantum-correct the linearized effective field equation we derive logarithmic corrections to both the electric components of the Weyl tensor for gravitational radiation and to the two potentials which quantify the gravitational response to a static point mass.
New Computation of Renormalized Graviton Self-Energy on de Sitter Background
In this article, we present a new computation of the renormalized graviton self-energy induced by a loop of massless, minimally coupled scalars on a de Sitter background. This calculation accounts for the finite renormalization of the cosmological constant, which was not considered in the initial analysis. We also adopt a different approach by expressing the result as a linear combination of 21 tensor differential operators, without relying on preconceived structure functions.
Importance of the Study
Understanding the behavior of gravitational interactions in the presence of quantum effects is crucial for developing a comprehensive theory of gravity. The self-energy of the graviton plays a significant role in such studies, and our new computation provides a more accurate description of this quantity in the context of a de Sitter background.
Logarithmic Corrections
By utilizing our result to quantum-correct the linearized effective field equation, we are able to determine logarithmic corrections to both the electric components of the Weyl tensor for gravitational radiation and to the two potentials that quantitatively describe the gravitational response to a static point mass. These logarithmic corrections shed light on the subtle interplay between quantum effects and gravitational phenomena.
Roadmap for the Future
Our findings open up several avenues for future research and investigation:
- Verification: It is imperative to verify our new computation through comparison with experimental data or by cross-referencing with other theoretical approaches. This will help establish the robustness and validity of our results.
- Generalization to other backgrounds: Extending our analysis to different background geometries, such as Anti-de Sitter space, could provide insights into the universality or context-dependence of the obtained logarithmic corrections.
- Exploration of physical implications: Investigating the physical consequences of the derived logarithmic corrections, such as their impact on black hole thermodynamics or the behavior of gravitational waves in cosmological models, could lead to significant advances in our understanding of gravity.
- Development of a unified framework: Incorporating our results into a broader theoretical framework that encompasses both quantum field theory and general relativity would be a major step towards achieving a unified theory of gravity.
Challenges and Opportunities
However, there are challenges and opportunities that researchers should consider:
- Technical Difficulty: The calculation of the graviton self-energy and its quantum corrections involve complex mathematical techniques and formalisms. Overcoming these technical difficulties may require the development of new mathematical tools or computational methods.
- Experimental Constraints: Testing the predictions of our computation may face limitations due to the availability of experimental data or the scope of current experimental setups. Collaborations between theorists and experimentalists could help bridge this gap.
- Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Addressing the broader implications of our findings requires collaboration between experts in various fields, including quantum field theory, general relativity, cosmology, and astrophysics. Encouraging interdisciplinary collaboration would facilitate progress and foster new insights.
In conclusion, our new computation of the renormalized graviton self-energy on a de Sitter background, accounting for the finite renormalization of the cosmological constant, provides valuable insights into the quantum corrections of gravitational interactions. The derived logarithmic corrections offer exciting opportunities for further research and exploration, ranging from experimental verification to the development of a unified framework for gravity.

Abstract: In this paper, we study the relativistic correction to Bekenstein-Hawking entropy in the canonical ensemble and isothermal-isobaric ensemble and apply it to the cases of non-rotating BTZ and AdS-Schwarzschild black holes. This is realized by generalizing the equations obtained using Boltzmann-Gibbs(BG) statistics with its relativistic generalization, Kaniadakis statistics, or $kappa$-statistics. The relativistic corrections are found to be logarithmic in nature and it is observed that their effect becomes appreciable in the high-temperature limit suggesting that the entropy corrections must include these relativistically corrected terms while taking the aforementioned limit. The non-relativistic corrections are recovered in the $kapparightarrow 0$ limit.
Relativistic Correction to Bekenstein-Hawking Entropy
In this study, the authors analyze the relativistic correction to the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy in the canonical ensemble and isothermal-isobaric ensemble. They specifically focus on non-rotating BTZ and AdS-Schwarzschild black holes. The relativistic corrections are obtained by generalizing the equations derived from Boltzmann-Gibbs (BG) statistics using a relativistic generalization known as Kaniadakis statistics or $kappa$-statistics.
The authors find that the relativistic corrections exhibit a logarithmic behavior and are most pronounced at high temperatures. They emphasize the importance of including these relativistically corrected terms in entropy calculations when considering the high-temperature limit. Furthermore, in the $kapparightarrow 0$ limit, the non-relativistic corrections are recovered.
Future Roadmap: Challenges and Opportunities
Further research in this field holds significant challenges and opportunities. Here is an outline for a future roadmap:
1. Quantifying the Relativistic Corrections
- One key challenge is to develop a robust framework for quantifying the relativistic corrections to the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy.
- Exploring alternative statistical ensembles and methods for incorporating these corrections will contribute to a deeper understanding of the entropy in black hole systems.
- Investigating the impact of different spacetime geometries on the relativistic corrections can provide valuable insights into the interplay between gravity and entropy.
2. Experimental Verification
- An important opportunity lies in designing experiments or observational studies to verify the existence of these relativistic corrections in black hole systems.
- Collaboration between theoretical physicists and experimentalists may help develop novel techniques for detecting and measuring the relativistic effects on entropy.
- Exploring the connection between quantum information theory and black hole entropy can provide additional avenues for experimental verification.
3. Applications and Implications
- Understanding the relativistic corrections to the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy can have implications beyond black hole physics.
- Exploring the connection between entropy and thermodynamics in other relativistic systems, such as cosmological models or condensed matter systems, can lead to novel insights.
- Investigating the role of these corrections in the context of quantum gravity theories can shed light on the fundamental nature of spacetime and information.
In conclusion, the relativistic correction to Bekenstein-Hawking entropy, as studied in this paper, opens up a wide range of research opportunities. Addressing the challenges and pursuing the outlined roadmap can deepen our understanding of black hole physics, thermodynamics, and the fundamental nature of the universe.

Abstract: The present work is devoted to explore some interesting cosmological features of a newly proposed theory of gravity namely $mathcal{F}(R,L_m,T)$ theory, where $R$ and $T$ represent the Ricci scalar and trace of energy momentum-tensor, respectively. Firstly, a non-equilibrium thermodynamical description is considered on the apparent horizon of the Friedmann’s cosmos. The Friedmann equations are demonstrated to be equivalent to the first law of thermodynamics, i.e., ${T_{Ah}dvarepsilon_{h}^prime+T_{Ah}d_{i}varepsilon_{h}^prime=-dhat{E}+hat{W}dV}$, where ${d_{i}varepsilon_{h}^prime}$ refers to entropy production term. We also formulate the constraint for validity of generalized second law of thermodynamics and check it for some simple well-known forms of generic function $mathcal{F}(R,L_m,T)$. Next, we develop the energy bounds for this framework and constraint the free variables by finding the validity regions for NEC and WEC. Further, we reconstruct some interesting cosmological solutions namely power law, $Lambda$CDM and de Sitter models in this theory. The reconstructed solutions are then examined by checking the validity of GSLT and energy bounds. Lastly, we analyze the stability of all reconstructed solutions by introducing suitable perturbations in the field equations. It is concluded that obtained solutions are stable and cosmologically viable.
Recently, there has been a proposal for a new theory of gravity called $mathcal{F}(R,L_m,T)$ theory. In this article, we aim to explore the various cosmological features of this theory and analyze its implications. The following conclusions can be drawn from our study:
Non-equilibrium thermodynamics and the Friedmann equations
In our investigation, we have considered a non-equilibrium thermodynamical description on the apparent horizon of the Friedmann’s cosmos. Surprisingly, we have discovered that the Friedmann equations can be represented as the first law of thermodynamics. This equivalence is expressed as ${T_{Ah}dvarepsilon_{h}^prime+T_{Ah}d_{i}varepsilon_{h}^prime=-dhat{E}+hat{W}dV}$, where ${d_{i}varepsilon_{h}^prime}$ denotes the entropy production term.
Validity of generalized second law of thermodynamics
We have also formulated a constraint to determine the validity of the generalized second law of thermodynamics in the context of the $mathcal{F}(R,L_m,T)$ theory. By applying this constraint to some well-known forms of the generic function $mathcal{F}(R,L_m,T)$, we have been able to verify its validity.
Energy bounds and constraints
Next, we have developed energy bounds for the $mathcal{F}(R,L_m,T)$ theory and constrained the free variables by identifying regions where the null energy condition (NEC) and weak energy condition (WEC) hold. This analysis provides important insights into the behavior of the theory.
Reconstruction of cosmological solutions
We have reconstructed several interesting cosmological solutions, including power law, $Lambda$CDM, and de Sitter models, within the framework of $mathcal{F}(R,L_m,T)$ theory. These reconstructed solutions have been carefully examined to ensure the validity of the generalized second law of thermodynamics and energy bounds.
Stability analysis of reconstructed solutions
Finally, we have analyzed the stability of all the reconstructed solutions by introducing suitable perturbations in the field equations. Our findings indicate that the obtained solutions are stable and cosmologically viable.

Abstract: In this study, we employ the thermodynamic topological method to classify critical points for the dyonic AdS black holes with QTE in the EGB background. To this end, we find that there is a small/large BH phase transition in any space-time dimension, a conventional critical point exists with the total topological charge of $Q_t=-1$. The existence of the coupling constant $alpha$ gives rise to a more intricate phase structure of the black hole, with the emergence of a triple points requires $alphageq0.5$ and $d=6$. Interestingly, the condition for the simultaneous occurrence of small/intermediate and intermediate/large phase transition is that the coupling constant a takes a special value ($alpha=0.5$), the two conventional critical points $(CP_{1},CP_{2})$ of the black hole are (physical) critical point, and the novel critical point that lacks the capability to minimize the Gibbs free energy. The critical point ($Q_{CP_1}=Q_{CP_2}=-1$) is observed to occur at the maximum extreme points of temperature in the isobaric curve, while the critical point $(Q_{CP_3}=1)$, emerges at the minimum extreme points of temperature. Furthermore, the number of phases at the novel critical point exhibits an upward trend, followed by a subsequent decline at the conventional critical points. With the increase of the coupling constant $(alpha = 1 )$, although the system has three critical points, only $CP_{1}$ is a (physical) critical point, and the $CP_{2}$ serves as the phase annihilation point. This means that the coupling constant $alpha$ has a non-negligible effect on the phase structure of the black hole.
In this study, the thermodynamic topological method is used to classify critical points for dyonic AdS black holes with QTE in the EGB background. The researchers find that there is a small/large black hole phase transition in any space-time dimension and a conventional critical point exists with a total topological charge of $Q_t=-1$. The presence of the coupling constant $alpha$ results in a more complex phase structure for the black hole, including the emergence of a triple point at $alphageq0.5$ and $d=6$. Interestingly, the simultaneous occurrence of small/intermediate and intermediate/large phase transitions requires a special value of the coupling constant ($alpha=0.5$). The black hole has two conventional critical points $(CP_{1},CP_{2})$, which are physical critical points, and a novel critical point that cannot minimize the Gibbs free energy. The critical point ($Q_{CP_1}=Q_{CP_2}=-1$) is observed at the maximum extreme points of temperature in the isobaric curve, while the critical point $(Q_{CP_3}=1)$ emerges at the minimum extreme points of temperature. The number of phases at the novel critical point initially increases and then decreases at the conventional critical points. Increasing the coupling constant $(alpha = 1)$ results in three critical points, but only $CP_{1}$ is a physical critical point, with $CP_{2}$ serving as the phase annihilation point. Therefore, the coupling constant $alpha$ has a significant effect on the phase structure of the black hole.
