Covariant Thermodynamics and ``Realistic'' Friedmann Model

High Energy Physics - Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We discuss a cosmological Friedmann model modified by inclusion of off-shell matter which has an equation of state p,ρT5,p,\rho \propto T^5, p=1/4ρ.p=1/4\rho . Such matter is shown to have energy density comparable with that of non-interacting radiation at temperatures of the order of the Hagedorn temperature, 1012\sim 10^{12} K, indicating the possibility of a phase transition. It is argued that the T5T^5-phase, or an admixture, lies below the high-temperature T4T^4-phase.
