Resumen de Thermodynamics of viscous dark energy for the late future time universe
In this work we explore the thermodynamic aspects of dark energy for late future time universe in two different scenarios: as a perfect fluid with constant and variable equation of state parameter; and as dissipative fluid described by a barotropic equation of state with bulk viscosity in the framework of the Eckart theory and the full Israel-Stewart theory. We explore cosmological solutions for a flat, homogeneous and isotropic universe; and we assume the late future time behavior when the dark energy dominates the cosmic evolution. When modeled as a perfect fluid with a dynamical equation of state, p = w(a)ρ, the dark energy has an energy density, temperature and entropy well defined and an interesting result is that there is no entropy production even though been dynamical. For dissipative dark energy, in the Eckart theory two cases are studied: ξ = const. And ξ = (β/√3)ρ^(1/2); it is found that the entropy grows exponentially for the first case and as a power-law for the second. In the Israel-Stewart theory we consider a ξ = ξoρ^(1/2) and a relaxation time τ = ξ/ρ; an analytical Big Rip solution a power-law relation between temperature and energy density is obtained. In order to maintain the second law of thermodynamics theoretical constraints for the equation of state are found in the different dark energy models studied. A barotropic dark fluid with w < −1 is thermodynamically difficult to support, but the overall effect of bulk viscosity in certain cases allows a phantom regime without thermodynamic anomalies.
