Study of GSLT in Curvature-Matter Coupling Gravity

Abstract

In this work, we study the first and generalized second laws of thermodynamics at the apparent horizon of homogeneous and isotropic universe model in the context of f (G, T) gravity (G and T represent the Gauss-Bonnet invariant and trace of the energymomentum tensor, respectively). We formulate the corresponding field equations as well as determine the radius, temperature and entropy to analyze these laws. An extra term associated with entropy production is appeared in the first law due to the non-equilibrium treatment of thermodynamics. It is found that the universal condition is obtained to preserve the generalized second law of thermodynamics.
