Particle vs. future event horizon in interacting holographic dark energy model

Holographic dark energy models have been recently suggested which most clearly show that accelerating cosmology appears to be incompatible with mathematically consistent formulations of fundamental theories such as string/M theories. In this paper it is however argued that holographic phantom models are no longer incompatible with such theories, provided that we allow for the existence of wormholes and ringholes near the big rip singularity and a quantization condition on the...

In standard cosmology, with the evolution of the universe, the matter density and thermodynamic pressure gradually decreases. Also in course of evolution, the matter in the universe obeys (or violates) some restrictions or energy conditions. If the matter distribution obeys strong energy condition (SEC), the universe is in a decelerating phase while violation of SEC indicates an accelerated expansion of the universe. In the period of accelerated expansion the matter may be ei...

We aim at the construction of dark energy models without exotic matter but with a phantom-like equation of state (an effective phantom phase). The first model we consider is decaying vacuum cosmology where the fluctuations of the vacuum are taken into account. In this case, the phantom cosmology (with an effective, observational $\omega$ being less than -1) emerges even for the case of a real dark energy with a physical equation of state parameter $\omega$ larger than -1. The...

In this paper we study cosmological application of holographic dark energy density in the Brans-Dicke framework. We employ the holographic model of dark energy to obtain the equation of state for the holographic energy density in non-flat (closed) universe enclosed by the event horizon measured from the sphere of horizon named $L$. Our calculation show, taking $\Omega_{\Lambda}=0.73$ for the present time, the lower bound of $w_{\rm \Lambda}$ is -0.9. Therefore it is impossibl...

We examine the evolution of a holographic cosmological model with future event horizon as the infrared cut-off and dark matter and dark energy do not evolve independently $-$ there is interaction between them. The basic evolution equations are reduced to an autonomous system and corresponding phase space is analyzed.

In the present paper, we provide a thermodynamical interpretation for the holographic dark energy model in a non-flat universe. For this case, the characteristic length is no more the radius of the event horizon ($R_E$) but the event horizon radius as measured from the sphere of the horizon ($L$). Furthermore, when interaction between the dark components of the holographic dark energy model in the non-flat universe is present its thermodynamical interpretation changes by a st...

We consider a Tsallis holographic dark energy model with interaction between dark energy and matter. The density of dark energy is taken as $\rho_d \sim 3C^2/L^{4-2\gamma}$, where $C$, $\gamma$ are constants. The event horizon is chosen as the characteristic scale $L$. The cosmological dynamics of the universe are analyzed, with special attention paid to the possibility of crossing the phantom line $w_{eff}=-1$. It is shown that for certain values of parameters this may occur...

We study a process of equilibration of holographic dark energy (HDE) with the cosmic horizon around the dark-energy dominated epoch. This process is characterized by a huge amount of information conveyed across the horizon, filling thereby a large gap in entropy between the system on the brink of experiencing a sudden collapse to a black hole and the black hole itself. At the same time, even in the absence of interaction between dark matter and dark energy, such a process mar...

We investigate the observational signatures of the holographic dark energy model in this paper, including both the original model and a model with an interaction term between the dark energy and dark matter. We first delineate the dynamical behavior of such models, especially whether they would have a "Big Rip" for different parameters, then we use several recent observational data to give more reliable and tighter constraints on the models. The results favor the equation of ...

In the present paper we consider the interacting holographic model of dark energy to investigate the validity of the generalized second laws of thermodynamics in non-flat (closed) universe enclosed by the event horizon measured from the sphere of the horizon named $L$. We show that for $L$ as the system's IR cut-off the generalized second law is respected for the special range of the deceleration parameter.
