$$ A=\frac{12\pi }{\Lambda }. $$

Entropy of a quantum system equals to logarithm of the number of degrees of freedom $N,$ i.e. to logarithm of the dimension $\dim H$ of the Hilbert space $$ S=\ln N=\ln (\dim H). $$ For the system of $N$ spin-$1/2$ particles $\dim H = 2^N$ and $$ S=N\ln 2. $$

Let the lattice occupy volume ${{L}^{3}}$, and its spatial period equals to $l$. Entropy of the system is proportional to the number of (quantum) states $N={{2}^{n}},\ n={{\left( \frac{L}{l} \right)}^{3}}$. Therefore \[S\propto \ln N\propto {{\left( \frac{L}{l} \right)}^{3}}\propto V.\]

Let all the punctures of the holographic screen be due its crossing by spin-$1/2$ particles. Then for $N$ punctures $$ N=\frac{A{{c}^{3}}}{4G\hbar \ln 2}. $$ The crossing leads to an additional puncture and therefore to change of the surface area equal to $$ \Delta A=\frac{\hbar G}{{{c}^{3}}}4\ln 2. $$

$\Delta S=\ln 2$ (see problem).

The black hole mass changes due to evaporation according to $$ \frac{dM}{dt}=-\frac{\sigma T_{H}^4A_{BH}}{c^2}, $$ where \[\sigma =\frac{\pi^2k_{_B}^4}{60\hbar^3c^2}\] is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant, and $A_{BH}=4\pi r_g^2$ is the surface area of the black hole. Therefore $$M(t)=\frac{M_{0}}{(1-t/\tau )^{1/3}},$$ where the lifetime of the black hole equals to $$\tau =\frac{5120\pi G^2M_{0}^3}{\hbar c^4}.$$ Characteristic lifetimes are the following: \[[[:Template:\left. \tau \right]]=5120\pi {{t}_{Pl}}\sim {{10}^{-39}}s,\] \[[[:Template:\left. \tau \right]]\sim {{10}^{58}}c\sim {{10}^{50}}\;\mbox{\it years,}\] \[[[:Template:\left. \tau \right]]\sim {{10}^{75}}c\sim {{10}^{67}}\;\mbox{\it years.}\]

The black hole entropy has the form \[S_{BH}=\frac{M_{Pl}^2}{16\pi k_B T^2},\] its temperature equals to \[T_{BH}=\frac{M_{Pl}^2}{8\pi k_BM},\] then its thermal capacity is \begin{equation} \label{C_{BH}} C_{BH}=T\left( \frac{\partial S}{\partial T}\right)=-8\pi k_B\frac{M^2}{M_{Pl}^2}. \end{equation}

When the black hole mass is halved, its temperature becomes twice as high.

Temperature is defined as $$ \frac{dS}{dE}=\frac{1}{T}. $$ Any motion of a particle (or propagation of excitation) leads to entropy change $\Delta S\sim \Delta x$ and therefore to change of energy. Thus the screen temperature must be finite by definition. In other words, the relation $\Delta E=T\Delta S$ can hold only at finite temperatures.

$$ a_e=\frac{F_e}{m}=T_b\frac{\Delta S}{\Delta x}=2\pi T_b\frac{k_{_B}c}{\hbar}. $$

Substitute the relation $GM=gr_{g}^2$ into the formula for the hawking radiation temperature and take into account the definition of gravity radius $r_{g}=\frac{2MG}{c^2}$=$\frac{c^2}{2g},$ to obtain $$ T_{BH}=\frac{\hbar g}{2\pi k_{_B}c}=T_{_U}(a=g). $$

$$ T_{_U}(a={10^{26}} \mbox{\it m/s}^{2})\simeq 4\times 10^5 K. $$

Entropic force acting on a test particle of mass $m,$ which approaches the holographic screen with temperature $T$, equals to $$ F=T\frac{\Delta S}{\Delta x}=2\pi {{k}_{_B}}\frac{mc}{\hbar }T. $$ Treating the temperature $T$ as the Unruh one (see \ref{Hol_f_Unruh:4}) $$ T=\frac{1}{2\pi {{k}_{_B}}}\frac{\hbar }{c}a, $$ one obtains the second Newton's law $$ F=ma. $$

Consider a particle of mass $m,$ approaching the holographic screen. At some moment the particle must merge with the microscopic degrees of freedom on the screen, and thus it will consist of the same $n$ bits, like those living on the screen. As every bit transmits energy equal to $\frac{1}{2}{{k}_{B}}T,$ the following must hold $$ mc^2=\frac{1}{2}nk_{_B}T. $$ Substitute the mass into the expression for the entropic force and make use the definition of the Unruh temperature (\ref{Hol_f_Unruh:4}) to express the entropy change in terms of the acceleration $$ \frac{\Delta S}{n\Delta x}=k_{_B}\frac{a}{2c^2}. $$ The obtained equation represents the holographic version of the inertia law: if entropy gradients are absent, then the entropic forces are zeros and as a consequence the acceleration of the particle equals to zero.

Consider a particle of mass $m$ approaching the holographic screen. The particle feels the entropic force $$ F=T\frac{\Delta S}{\Delta x}=2\pi Tk_{_B}\frac{mc}{\hbar }, $$ where $T$ is the holographic screen temperature. Make use of the equipartition theorem $$ E=\frac{1}{2}N k_{_B}T. $$ Here $N$ is the number of degrees of freedom on the screen, which according to the holographic principle equals to (more precisely, cannot exceed) $$ N=\frac{Ac^3}{G\hbar }=\frac{4\pi R^2 c^3}{G\hbar }. $$ Treating $E$ as $M{{c}^{2}},$ where $M$ is the mass concentrated in the region which is enclosed by the holographic screen, one obtains the temperature $$ T=\frac{Mc^2}{2k_{_B}\pi R^2}\frac{G\hbar }{c^3}. $$ Then substitute the obtained temperature into the original expression for the entropic force to recover the Newton's law of universal gravitation $$ F=G\frac{mM}{R^2}. $$

Compare the (Schwarzschild) gravity radii $r_{g}$ and the physical ones $R$ for the Earth and the Sun. For the latter $R\simeq 7\times 10^5 \mbox{\it km},$ and $r_g\simeq 3\mbox{\it km}.$ For the Earth $R\simeq 6400 \mbox{\it km},$ and $r_g\simeq 3\mbox{\it cm}.$ Thus those objects are not similar at all to a black hole. Analogous estimate for the observable part of the Universe enclosed by the Hubble sphere with the radius $R_{H}=c H^{-1}$, gives $$ \begin{gathered} r_{g,univ}=\frac{2GM_{univ}}{c^2}; \hfill \\ R_{H}=cH^{-1}; \\ M_{univ}=\frac{4\pi }{3}R_H^{3}\rho ; \hfill \\ H^2=\frac{8\pi G}{3}\rho \to \rho =\frac{3H^2}{8\pi G}; \hfill \\ M_{univ}=\frac{4\pi }{3}R_H^3\frac{3H^2}{8\pi G}=\frac{c^2R_H}{2G}; \\ R_H=\frac{2GM_{univ}}{c^2}=r_{g,univ}. \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ It is this impressive "coincidence" which allows us to use the argumentation of black hole thermodynamics for the holographic description of the Universe.

To obtain the required estimate, make use of the "similarity" of the observed Universe to a black hole (see the previous problem). The spectrum of the Hawking radiation for massless fields appeared to coincide with the black body radiation, which allows one to assign to the black hole the temperature $$ T_{BH}=\frac{\hbar c^3}{8\pi Gk_{_B}M} $$ Transform this formula using the first Friedman equation $$ T_{BH}=\frac{\hbar c^3}{8\pi Gk_{_B}M}=\frac{1}{3}\frac{\hbar c^3}{k_B}\frac{\rho }{MH^2}=\frac{1}{3}\frac{\hbar c^3}{k_{_B}}\frac{1}{VH^2}. $$ Substitute \[V=\frac{4\pi }{3}R_{H}^3\] and take into account that the Hubble radius equals to $R_{H}=cH^{-1}$ to obtain the temperature of the Hubble sphere \begin{equation} \label{T_{H-univ}} T_{H}=\frac{\hbar H}{4\pi k_{_B}}\sim 10^{-30}\:K. \end{equation}

Temperature of the radiation-dominated Universe depends on time as \begin{equation} T=\left( \frac{3}{32\pi G\alpha } \right)^{1/4}t^{-1/2}, \end{equation} where $\alpha $ is constant ($\rho =\alpha T^4$.) Combine the latter expression with the formula (\ref{T_{H-univ}}) and take into account that $H=\left( 2t \right)^{-1}$ for radiation, to obtain $$ T_{H}=\frac{\hbar }{8\pi k_{_B}}\left( \frac{32\pi G\alpha }{2} \right)^{1/2}T_{CMB}^{2}\sim T_{CMB}^{2}\sqrt{G}\simeq \frac{T_{CMB}^{2}}{T_{Pl}} $$ where ${{T}_{Pl}}={{\left( \hbar {{c}^{5}}/Gk_{B}^{2} \right)}^{1/2}}=1.4\cdot {{10}^{32}}K$ is the Planck temperature. Note that the obtained expression is valid for any stage of Universe's evolution, because its temperature is always mostly determined by radiation. Temperature of the matter relaxes to that of radiation, as the thermal capacity of the latter is considerably higher. Therefore according to relation (\ref{T_{H-univ}}) the equilibrium between the relic radiation and the holographic screen is possible only at the Planck temperature.

Action for the gravitational field is \begin{equation} S_{EH} \,=\,- \frac{c^{3}}{16 \pi G} \int d^{4} x \,\sqrt{-g} \,R\, . \label{2.1} \end{equation} Variation of the action with respect to metric $g_{\mu \nu}$ (see problem $25$ of Chapter 2) in a compact region $\Omega$ gives \begin{eqnarray} \lefteqn{ \delta \int_{\Omega} d^{4}x \sqrt{-g}\, R \, =} \nonumber \\ & & \int_{\Omega}d^{4} x \sqrt{-g} \Biggl[ \left( g^{\mu \nu}\nabla^2 \delta g_{\mu \nu}\,- \nabla^{\mu} \nabla^{\nu} \delta g_{\mu \nu} \right) -\left( R^{\mu \nu} - \frac{1}{2}\, g^{\mu \nu} R \right) \delta g_{\mu \nu} \Biggr] \, , \label{2.2} \end{eqnarray} where $\nabla^2 \,=\, g^{\alpha \beta} \nabla_{\alpha} \, \nabla_{\beta}$. The functional $S_{Boundary}[g],$ thus takes the form \begin{equation} \delta S_{Boundary}[g]\,=\,-\, \frac{1}{16 \pi G} \int_{\Omega}d^{4}x \sqrt{-g} \Bigl( g^{\mu \nu} \nabla^2 \delta g_{\mu \nu}\,-\, \nabla^{\mu} \nabla^{\nu} \delta g_{\mu \nu} \Bigr) \, , \label{2.4} \end{equation} The Einstein equations including the contribution of boundary terms take the form \begin{eqnarray} R^{\mu \nu} - \frac{1}{2}\, g^{\mu \nu} R = 8 \pi G\, T^{\mu \nu}_{Boundary}\, , \nonumber \\ T^{\mu \nu}_{Boundary} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{- g}} \, \frac{\delta S_{Boundary}} {\delta g_{\mu \nu}}\,. \label{2.5} \end{eqnarray} Note that in the case of flat space-time with $g_{\mu \nu}=const,$ the boundary action $S_{Boundary}[g] = 0,$ and the Einstein equation take the standard form.

1st method. As shown in problem \ref{HU17} of the present Chapter, one can use the argumentation of black hole thermodynamics for the holographic description of the Universe. Let the holographic screen coincide with the Hubble sphere (the sphere of radius $R=H^{-1}$). The screen has area $A=4\pi R^2$ and carries the (maximum) information $N=4\pi R^2/L_{Pl}^{2}\; \mbox{bit.}$ Change of information $dN$ during time $dt$, which corresponds to expansion of the Universe from $R$ to $R+dR$, equals to $$ dN=\frac{dA}{L_{Pl}^2}=\frac{8\pi R}{L_{Pl}^2}dR. $$ Here $c=k_{_B}=1.$ Increase of the Hubble radius leads to the change of the Hawking temperature ($T=\hbar/(2\pi R)$) by $$ dT=-\frac{\hbar }{2\pi R^2}dR. $$ From the equipartition theorem \begin{equation} \label{HolPr:15_1} dE=\frac{1}{2}NdT+\frac{1}{2}TdN=\frac{\hbar }{L_{Pl}^2}dR=\frac{dR}{G} \end{equation} ($L_{Pl}^2=\hbar G/c^3$). The quantity $dR$ can be presented in the form \begin{equation} \label{HolPr:15_2} dR=-H\dot{H}R^3dt. \end{equation} On other hand, the energy flow through the Hubble sphere can be calculated if one is given the energy-momentum tensor for the substance filling the Universe. Treating the latter as an ideal fluid (see Chapter 2) and using the relation $T_{\mu \nu }=(\rho +p)u_{\mu }u_{\nu }+pg_{\mu \nu },$ one obtains \begin{equation} \label{HolPr:15_3} dE=A\left( \rho +p \right)dt \end{equation} Equating (\ref{HolPr:15_1}) and (\ref{HolPr:15_3}) and taking into account (\ref{HolPr:15_2}), one finds \begin{equation} \label{HolPr:15_4} \dot{H}=-4\pi G\left( \rho +p \right). \end{equation} As it was shown in Chapter 2, the system of equations \begin{align} \nonumber & \dot{H}=-4\pi G\left( \rho +p \right);\\ & \dot{\rho }+3H\left( \rho +p \right)=0, \end{align} is equivalent to the standard system of Friedman equations \begin{align} \nonumber H^2 = & \frac{8\pi G}{3}\rho ; \\ \frac{\ddot{a}}{a} = & -\frac{4\pi G}{3}(\rho +3p). \end{align} The application of this method to obtain the Friedman equations for a non-flat Universe will be considered in the next problem. 2nd method. Consider a compact spatial region $V$ with boundary $\partial V,$ which represents a sphere with physical radius $R=ar.$ The boundary acts as a holographic screen. Assume that the number of bits on the screen equals to $$ N=\frac{Ac^3}{G\hbar }, $$ and the equipartition theorem gives $$ E=Mc^2=\frac{1}{2}Nk_{_B}T. $$ In this relation the mass $M$ is equal to the total mass in the region enclosed by the spherical holographic screen. As usual, assume that the matter filling the considered region is ideal fluid with the energy-momentum tensor $$ T_{\mu \nu }=\left( p+\rho \right)u_{\mu }u_{\nu }+pg_{\mu \nu }. $$ Total mass in the spatial region $V$ is $$ M=\int_{V}{dV}\left(T_{\mu \nu }u^{\mu }u^{\nu }\right). $$ Here $T_{\mu \nu }u^{\mu }u^{\nu }$ is the energy density measured by the comoving observer with $4$-velocity $u^\mu$. On the other hand, acceleration for radial comoving observer in the point $r,$ i.e. in the point where the screen is situated, equals to $$ a_r=\frac{d^2R}{dt^2}=-\ddot{a}r $$ The minus sign appears because one considers the acceleration caused by matter in the region enclosed by the screen. According to the Unruh formula (\ref{Hol_f_Unruh:4}), this acceleration corresponds to temperature $$ T=\frac{1}{2\pi k_{_B}c}\hbar a_{r}. $$ Substitution of the quantities determined above into the equipartition theorem gives $$ \ddot{a}=-\frac{4\pi G}{3}\rho a. $$ This is nothing else then the Newton analogue of the second Friedman equation. In order to obtain the exact Friedman equation, which follows from General Relativity, one has to use the so-called active gravitational mass $$ M^*=2\int_{V}dV\left(T_{\mu \nu }-\frac{1}{2}Tg_{\mu \nu }\right)u^{\mu }u^{\nu }. $$ Replacing $M$ by $M^*$, one obtains $$ \frac{\ddot{a}}{a}=-\frac{4\pi G}{3}\left( \rho +3p \right) $$ Multiplying both sides of the latter equality by $\dot{a}a$ and using the conservation equation $$ \dot{\rho }+3H\left( \rho +p \right)=0, $$ one obtains the first Friedman equation $$ H^2+\frac{k}{a^2}=\frac{8\pi G}{3}\rho. $$ Here $k$ is the integration constant, which can be treated as the spatial curvature in the region $V.$

Repeat all the steps similar to (\ref{HolPr:15_1}) - (\ref{HolPr:15_4}), using for $R_H$ the expression obtained in problem \ref{equ24n} of Chapter 2 \begin{equation} \label{R_H} R_H=\frac{1}{\sqrt{H^2+\frac{k}{a^2}}}, \end{equation} to obtain \begin{equation} \dot{H}=-4\pi G(\rho +p)+\frac{k}{a^2}. \end{equation} Combined with the conservation equation, it is equivalent to \begin{align} \nonumber & H^2=\frac{8\pi G}{3}\rho -\frac{k}{a^2}; \label{Fridmann_eq}\\ & \frac{\ddot{a}}{a}=-\frac{4\pi G}{3}(\rho +3p). \\ \nonumber \end{align}

For sufficiently high temperatures ($T\gg {{L}^{-1}}$, but $T\le \Lambda $) the energy of the system is $E$ $\simeq {{L}^{3}}{{T}^{4}}$, and its entropy $S\simeq {{L}^{3}}{{T}^{3}}$. When the inequality \[S\le {{S}_{BH}}\] is saturated (let us assume that $T=\Lambda $), then $T\simeq {{\left( M_{Pl}^{2}/L \right)}^{1/3}}$. On the other hand, the Schwarzschild radius is related to the energy as ${{R}_{s}}\simeq E/M_{Pl}^{2}$ . Therefore ${{R}_{S}}\gg L$.

$$ \rho_{_{DE}} \le \frac{c}{2GL^2}. $$ Saturation of the inequality is equivalent to the choice of maximum allowed value for $L.$ In cosmological context it is reasonable to chose $L$ equal to the current size of the Universe, i.e. Hubble scale $L\sim H^{-1}$ (the quantities similar to $L$ in holographic physics are called the infrared cutoff scale (IR cutoff)). Then according to the holographic principle $\rho_{_{DE}}\propto H^{2}$ For $\hbar =c=1$ the restriction formulated in the statement of the problem can be presented in the form $$ L^3\rho_{DE}\le LM_{Pl}^{2} $$ Saturation of this inequality is equivalent to the choice of maximum allowed value for $L.$ In cosmological context it is reasonable to chose $L$ equal to current size of Universe, i.e. Hubble scale $L\sim H^{-1}.$ Then $$ \rho_{DE}\sim H^2M_{Pl}^{2} $$ and \begin{align} \nonumber M_{Pl} & \simeq 1.2\times 10^{19} \;\mbox{\it GeV };\\ \nonumber {{H}_{0}} & \simeq 1.6\times {{10}^{-42}}\;\mbox{\it GeV } \\ \nonumber \rho_{_{DE}} & \sim 10^{-46}\;\mbox{\it GeV}^{4}. \end{align} This value differs only by two orders of magnitude from the observed density of dark energy $\rho _{DE}^{\left( obs \right)}\sim 10^{-48}\;\mbox{\it GeV}^{4}$. Recall that dimensional estimate in the frame of SCM led to divergence of 120(!) orders of magnitude.

Holographic principle applied to black holes as objects with maximum entropy in a given region of space states that the maximum entropy inside the region is proportional only to the surface area of the region, and the number of independent degrees of freedom is limited by the value of the surface area expressed in Planck units (\ref{Hol_f:1}): $$ N\leq \frac{Ac^3}{G\hbar}. $$ Therefore effective quantum field theory with ultraviolet cutoff $\Lambda $ defined in the region of linear size $L,$ with entropy proportional to $S\sim L^3\Lambda^3,$ must satisfy the condition \begin{equation} \label{conditionQFT} L^3\Lambda^3\le S_{BH}\equiv \frac{1}{4}\frac{A}{l_{Pl}^2}=\pi L^2M_{PL}^2 \end{equation} where $S_{BH}$ is entropy of black hole of radius $L.$ Thus the latter relation shows that the value of the infrared cutoff (IR cutoff) cannot be chosen independently from the ultraviolet cutoff value: \begin{equation} \label{LsimLambda{-3}} L\sim \Lambda^{-3} \end{equation} In other words in quantum field theory the ultraviolet cutoff on small scales is related to the infrared cutoff on large scales (See one of the early works on the topic: Andrew G. Cohena, David B. Kaplanb and Ann E. Nelsonc, Effective Field Theory, Black Holes, and the Cosmological Constant, arXiv:hep-th/9803132v2 31 Mar 1999).

Entropy contained on the Hubble sphere is \begin{equation} S_H = \frac{k_B c^3}{G \hbar} \frac{A}{4} = \frac{k_B c^3} {G \hbar} \pi R_H^2 = \frac{k_B c^3} {G \hbar} \pi \left( \frac{c}{H} \right)^2 \sim (2.6 \pm 0.3) \times 10^{122} k_B \end{equation} Note that change of Hubble radius $R_H$ by $\Delta r$ causes the entropy change equal to \begin{equation} \Delta S_H = \frac{k_B c^3} {G \hbar} 2\pi R_H \Delta r = \frac{k_B c^3} {G \hbar} 2\pi \left( \frac{c}{H} \right) \Delta r \sim (2.6 \pm 0.3) \times 10^{122} k_B \Delta r / R_H. \end{equation} The force acting on the holographic screen then is \begin{equation} F_r = - \frac{dE}{dr} = - T \frac{dS}{dr} = - T_\beta \frac{ d S_H}{d r} = - \frac{\hbar}{ k_B }~\frac{ H }{ 2 \pi} \frac{k_B c^3} {G \hbar} 2\pi \left( \frac{c}{H} \right) = - \frac{c^4 }{ G}. \end{equation} The minus sign points on the fact that the force acts in the direction of expanding of the holographic screen. The corresponding pressure takes the form \begin{equation} P = \frac{F_r}{A} = - \frac{1}{A} T \frac{dS}{dr} = - \frac{1}{A} \frac{c^4 }{ G} = - \frac{1}{ 4 \pi c^2/H^2} \frac{c^4 }{ G} = - \frac{c^2 H^2 }{4 \pi G} = - \frac{2}{3} \rho_{cr} c^2, \end{equation} where $\rho_{cr}$ is critical energy density, equal to $\rho_{cr} \equiv 3 H^2 /8 \pi G$.

As shown in SCM (see problem \ref{SCM6} of Chapter 11), acceleration of an object situated on distance $R$ from the observer equals to $$ \dot{V}=H_{0}^{2}\left( \Omega_{\Lambda }-\frac{1}{2}\Omega_{m}\right)R. $$ For $R=4000\;\mbox{\it Mpc}$ (size of the observable Universe), $\dot{V}\simeq 4\times {{10}^{-10}}\;\mbox{\it m/sec}^2.$ Using the solution of problem \ref{HU12} of the present Chapter, one can find that acceleration of the Hubble sphere equals to $$ a_{_H}=\frac{2\pi ck_{_B}}{\hbar }T_{U}(a=g)=cH_0\simeq 10^{-9}\;\mbox{\it m/sec}^2. $$ This results agrees by the order of magnitude with the previously obtained estimate in the frame of SCM.

The easiest way to take into account the negative pressure generated by the entropic force is to modify the right hand side of the second Friedman equation by addition of a corresponding term. In order to do that one can use dimensional considerations, which results in the following relation \begin{equation} \frac{\ddot a}{a}=-\frac{4\pi G}{3}(\rho+3p)+\frac{a_e}{R_b}. \end{equation} Note that distance to the holographic screen does not have to coincide with the Hubble radius, therefore it is reasonable to choose the holographic screen with the radius \begin{equation} R_b=\frac{1}{\beta H}, \end{equation} and corresponding temperature of the holographic screen takes the form \begin{equation} T_H=\frac{\beta H}{2\pi}. \end{equation} Thus the modified equation becomes \begin{equation} \label{Fridmann_eqIIm} \frac{\ddot a}{a}=-\frac{4\pi G}{3}(\rho+3p)+\beta^2H^2. \end{equation} The deceleration parameter depends on the redshift as $$ q(z) = -1 +\frac{1+z}{H(z)}\frac{dH}{dz} $$ (see the picture).

• 

  Dependence of deceleration parameter on the redshift for the case of $1)$ Universe with holographic dark energy $HCDM$ (solid line); $2)$ Standard cosmological model $\Lambda CDM$ (dashed line).

In The frame of $\Lambda CDM$ the dependence of deceleration parameter on redshift is determined by $$ q = \frac{1}{2}\frac{\Omega _M^{(0)}(1 + z)^3- 2\Omega _\Lambda ^{(0)}} {\Omega _M^{(0)}(1 + z)^3+\Omega_\Lambda ^{(0)}}, $$ where $\Omega _M^{(0)}$ and $\Omega_\Lambda ^{(0)}$ are relative densities of non-relativistic matter and cosmological constant respectively. Recall that in the frame of $\Lambda CDM$ one usually takes $ \Omega _M^{(0)} = 0.27,[[User:Cosmo All|Cosmo All]] \Omega_\Lambda ^{(0)}=0.73. $ The presented plots demonstrate both good qualitative and quantitative agreement between holographic dark energy model ($HCDM$) and $\Lambda CDM$: both models give the same asymptotes and similar behavior near the intersection with the $z$-axis:

$$ q(z \to \infty ) = \frac{1}{2},[[User:Cosmo All|Cosmo All]]\;q(z \to - 1) = - 1. $$

As shown above (see problem), the holographic dark energy can be presented in the form $$ \rho_{_{HDE}} = \alpha^2H^2. $$ Consider Universe composed of non-relativistic matter and holographic dark energy \begin{align} H^2= & \frac 13 \left(\rho_{m}+\rho_{_{HDE}}\right);\\ \frac{3-\alpha^2}{\alpha^2}= & \frac{\rho_{m}}{\rho_{_{HDE}}} = const. \end{align} Thus the ratio of both densities remains constant during all evolution of the Universe, which solves the coincidence problem (but produces another problem, see the next problem).

Consider a Universe dominated by holographic dark energy: $$ \rho_{_{HDE}} = \alpha^2H^2. $$ Use the conservation equation $\dot{\rho}+3H\left( \rho +p\right)=0,~p=w\rho$ \begin{equation} w = -1- \frac{1}{ 3}\frac{d\ln\rho}{d\ln a} = -\frac{1}{3}. \end{equation} Take into account the second Friedman equation $$\frac{\ddot a}{a}=-\frac{4\pi G}{3}(\rho+3p).$$ to obtain the result that $\ddot a = 0.$

\begin{align}\nonumber \rho_{_{HDE}} & =3c^2M_p^2L^{-2},\\ \nonumber H^2 & =\frac{1}{3M_p^2}\rho. \end{align} Consider Universe composed of holographic dark energy $$ H^2=c^2L^{-2} $$ and use the definition \begin{equation}\nonumber R_p = a\int^a_0 \frac{da'}{H(a')a'^2}. \end{equation} Then take into account the relation $L=R_p$ to obtain $$ HR_p = c, $$ and therefore $$ \frac{1}{Ha^2}=c\frac{d}{ da}\left(\frac{1}{ Ha}\right). $$ It then follows that $$H^{-1}=\alpha a^{1+\frac{1}{c}}.$$ Thus in the case when the holographic screen coincides with the cosmological particle horizon the holographic dark energy density depends on the scale factor as $$ \rho_{_{HDE}}=3c^2\alpha^{-2} M_p^2 a^{-2(1+\frac{1}{c})}. $$ Use the conservation equation $\dot{\rho}+3H\left( \rho +p\right)=0,~p=w\rho$ to obtain $$ w = -1- \frac{1}{ 3}\frac{d\ln\rho}{d\ln a} = -\frac{1}{ 3}+\frac{2}{ 3c}>-\frac{1}{3} $$ Thus the given cosmological model is unable to provide the accelerated expansion of the Universe.

The particle horizon is defined as \begin{equation} R_{p}=a(t)\int^{t}_{0}\frac{dt'}{a}=a\int^{a}_{0}\frac{da'}{Ha'^{2}}. \end{equation} After the algebra analogous to that of problem (\ref{HU36}), one obtains \begin{equation} \Omega_{\Lambda}'=\Omega_{\Lambda}\left(1-3\Omega_{\Lambda}-\frac{2}{c}\sqrt{\Omega_{\Lambda}}\right),\label{eq:PHEQ} \end{equation}

Solution of the equation reads \begin{align} \nonumber \frac{1}{\sqrt{1+3c^2}}\big[\ln\left(\sqrt{1+3c^2}+1+3c\sqrt{\Omega_\Lambda}\right) & -\ln\left(1+3c\sqrt{\Omega_\Lambda}-\sqrt{1+3c^2}\right)\big]\\ +\ln\Omega_{\Lambda}-\ln\left(3c\Omega_{\Lambda}+2\sqrt{\Omega_{\Lambda}}-c\right) & =-\ln a+D_0, \\ D_0 =\ln\Omega_{\Lambda0}-\ln\left(3c\Omega_{\Lambda0}+2\sqrt{\Omega_{\Lambda0}}-c\right) & \\ \nonumber +\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+3c^2}}\big[\ln\left(\sqrt{1+3c^2}+1+3c\sqrt{\Omega_{\Lambda0}}\right) & -\ln\left(1+3c\sqrt{\Omega_{\Lambda0}}-\sqrt{1+3c^2}\right)\big], \end{align} where the integration constant $D_0$ is defined by the condition $a_0=1$.

The event horizon limits the current region of the Universe, from which the information can reach us during time $t_{max}$ in the future $$ R_h =a(t)\int^{t_{max}}_t \frac{dt'}{a(t')}. $$ Usually one takes $t_{max}$ equal either to $t=\infty$ or the time when the closed Universe collapses. In the latter case $$ HR_h = c, $$ and therefore $$ H = \alpha a^{-(1-\frac{1}{c})}. $$ Thus in the case when the holographic screen coincides with the cosmological event horizon the holographic dark energy density depends on the scale factor as $$ \rho_{_{HDE}}=3c^2\alpha^{-2} M_p^2 a^{-2(1-\frac{1}{c})}. $$ $$ w = -1- \frac{1}{ 3}\frac{d\ln\rho}{d\ln a} = -\frac{1}{3}-\frac{2}{ 3c}<-\frac{1}{ 3}. $$ The case $c = 1$ corresponds to the cosmological constant with $w=-1.$

The cosmological horizon is \begin{equation} R_{h}=a\int^{\infty}_{t}\frac{dt'}{a}=a\int^{\infty}_{a}\frac{da'}{Ha'^{2}}\label{eq:eh} \end{equation} and the holographic dark energy densities takes the form \begin{equation} \rho_{\Lambda}=3c^2M^2_P/L^2_h.\label{eq:ehvv} \end{equation} Using the definitions of relative energy density $\Omega_{m}=\rho_{m}/(3M^2_PH^2)$ and $\Omega_{\Lambda}=\rho_{\Lambda}/(3M^2_PH^2)$ and the following relation between them \begin{equation} \Omega_{m}+\Omega_{\Lambda}=1, \end{equation} one can obtain the logarithmic derivative of the Hubble parameter with respect to the scale factor's logarithm \begin{equation} \frac{d\ln H}{d\ln a}+\frac{3}{2}\left(1-\Omega_{\Lambda}\right)=0.\label{eq:diffH} \end{equation} Combine (\ref{eq:eh}), (\ref{eq:ehvv}) and the definition of $\Omega_{\Lambda}$ to obtain \begin{equation} \int^{\infty}_{a}\frac{d\ln a'}{Ha'}=\frac{c}{aH}\sqrt{\frac{1}{\Omega_{\Lambda}}}.\label{eq:integral} \end{equation} take derivative by $\ln a$ of both sides of the equation (\ref{eq:integral}) to get \begin{equation} \frac{d\ln H}{dx}+\frac{1}{2}\frac{d\ln\Omega_{\Lambda}}{dx}=\frac{\sqrt{\Omega_{\Lambda}}}{c}-1.\label{eq:Hdx} \end{equation} Substitute (\ref{eq:diffH}) into the equation (\ref{eq:Hdx}) to obtain $\Omega_{\Lambda}$ \begin{equation} \frac{d\Omega_{\Lambda}}{d\ln a}=\Omega_{\Lambda}\left(1-3\Omega_{\Lambda}+\frac{2}{c}\sqrt{\Omega_{\Lambda}}\right),\label{eq:EHEQ} \end{equation}

The equation can be solved exactly \begin{align}\nonumber \frac{1}{\sqrt{1+3c^2}}\big[\ln\left(\sqrt{1+3c^2}+1-3c\sqrt{\Omega_{\Lambda}}\right) - \ln\left(\sqrt{1+3c^2}-1+3c\sqrt{\Omega_{\Lambda}}\right)\big] & \\ +\ln\Omega_{\Lambda} - \ln\left(2\sqrt{\Omega_{\Lambda}}+c-3c\Omega_{\Lambda}\right) & =\ln a+C_0, \end{align} \begin{align}\nonumber C_0 & = \ln\Omega_{\Lambda0} -\ln\left(2\sqrt{\Omega_{\Lambda0}}+c-3c\Omega_{\Lambda0}\right)\\ \nonumber & +\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+3c^2}}\big[\ln\left(\sqrt{1+3c^2}+1-3c\sqrt{\Omega_{\Lambda0}}\right) -\ln\left(\sqrt{1+3c^2}-1+3c\sqrt{\Omega_{\Lambda0}}\right)\big] \end{align} where the integration constant $C_0$ can be determined from the condition $a_0=1$.

By definition $$ \rho_{_{RDE}}=-\frac{\alpha}{16\pi} R =\frac{3\alpha}{8\pi}\left(\dot{H}+2H^2+\frac{ k}{a^2}\right). $$ Introducing the notation $x=\ln (1+z)$, one can transform the first Friedman equation to \begin{eqnarray} H^2&=&\frac{8\pi}{3}\left[{{\left(\alpha -1\right)\frac{3k}{8\pi}}}{e^{2x}}+{\rho_{m}}{e^{3x}}+{\rho_{r}}{{e^{4x}}}\right]\nonumber\\ &&+\alpha\left(2H^2 - \frac{1}{2}\frac{dH^2}{dx}\right), \end{eqnarray} where $\rho_m$ and $\rho_{r}$ are densities of non-relativistic and relativistic matter respectively. The deceleration parameter is obtained in the same way.
Evolution of the deceleration parameter is described by \[q=-\frac{{\ddot{a}}}{a{{H}^{2}}}=\frac{\frac{4\pi G}{3}\left( {{\rho }_{tot}}+3{{p}_{tot}} \right)}{\frac{8\pi G}{3}{{\rho }_{tot}}}=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{3}{2}\frac{{{p}_{tot}}}{{{\rho }_{tot}}}\] Use the dependencies of density and pressure on scale factor (redshift), obtained in previous problems, to obtain the results presented on Fig.\ref{fig:HolPr24_3-4}.
Acceleration of Universe's expansion starts at $z\simeq 0.55.$ (Compare with the combined analysis of $SNe+CMB$ data with the $\Lambda CDM$, resulting in $z=0.52\div 0.73$)
