Verlinde's emergent gravity in an $\boldsymbol{n-}$dimensional, non-additive Tsallis' scenario (1711.03866v2)

Abstract: This paper brings together four distinct but very important physical notions: 1) Entropic force, 2) Entropy-along-a-curve, 3) Tsallis' q-statistics, and 4) Emergent gravitation. We investigate the non additive, classical (Tsallis') q-statistical mechanics of a phase-space curve in $n$ dimensions (3 dimensions, in particular). We focus attention on an entropic force mechanism that yields a simple realization of it, being able to mimic interesting effects such as confinement, hard core, and asymptotic freedom, typical of high energy physics
