Cosmological Implications of the Extended Uncertainty Principle: Energy Conditions, Stability, and Late Time Acceleration

TL;DR

This paper explores how the Extended Uncertainty Principle modifies cosmological equations, leading to late-time acceleration consistent with observations, without the need for a cosmological constant.

Contribution

It derives modified Friedmann equations from EUP, analyzes energy conditions, stability, and shows EUP can produce late-time acceleration.

Findings

EUP corrections lead to a late-time de Sitter attractor.

The model satisfies classical energy conditions.

EUP induces acceleration without a cosmological constant.

Abstract

We study the cosmological consequences of the Extended Uncertainty Principle (EUP) by deriving modified Friedmann equations through thermodynamic arguments. The evolution of the effective equation of state induced by EUP corrections is analyzed and characterized using the Chevallier-Polarski-Linder (CPL) parametrization. We then examine the fulfillment of classical energy conditions, including the null, weak, strong, and dominant conditions. The dynamical and thermodynamic stability of the model is investigated, showing that the EUP cosmology admits a late-time de Sitter attractor. Finally, we evaluate the effective speed of sound associated with the model and discuss implications for perturbative stability. Our findings indicate that EUP-induced corrections can produce a consistent late-time acceleration without requiring a cosmological constant.
