Thermodynamics and cosmological reconstruction in $f(T,B)$ gravity (1609.08373v2)

Published 27 Sep 2016 in gr-qc

Abstract: Recently, it was formulated a teleparallel theory called $f(T,B)$ gravity which connects both $f(T)$ and $f(R)$ under suitable limits. In this theory, the function in the action is assumed to depend on the torsion scalar $T$ and also on a boundary term related with the divergence of torsion, $B=2\nabla_{\mu}T{\mu}$. In this work, we study different features of a flat Friedmann-Lema^{i}tre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) cosmology in this theory. First, we show that the FLRW equations can be transformed to the form of Clausius relation $\hat{T}hS{\rm eff}=-dE+WdV$, where $\hat{T}h$ is the horizon temperature and $S{\rm eff}$ is the entropy which contains contributions both from horizon entropy and an additional entropy term introduced due to the non-equilibrium. We also formulate the constraint for the validity of the generalised second law of thermodynamics (GSLT). Additionally, using a cosmological reconstruction technique, we show that both $f(T,B)$ and $-T+F(B)$ gravity can mimic power-law, de-Sitter and $\Lambda$CDM models. Finally, we formulate the perturbed evolution equations and analyse the stability of some important cosmological solutions.
