Holographic thermodynamic relation for dissipative and non-dissipative universes in a flat FLRW cosmology by Nobuyoshi Komatsu

“…A modified thermodynamic relation is derived by applying the general formulation to the first law, which includes both $$p_{e}$$ p e and an additional time-derivative term $$\dot{f}_{\Lambda }(t)$$ f ˙ Λ ( t ) , related to a non-zero term of the general continuity equation. When $$f_{\Lambda }(t)$$ f Λ ( t ) is constant, the modified thermodynamic relation is equivalent to the formulation of the first law in standard cosmology. …”
