Abstract

An equilibrium picture of thermodynamics is discussed at the apparent horizon of FRW universe in f(T,TG)f(T,T_G) gravity, where TT represents the torsion invariant and TGT_G is the teleparallel equivalent of the Gauss-Bonnet term. It is found that one can translate the Friedmann equations to the standard form of first law of thermodynamics. We discuss GSLT in the locality of assumption that temperature of matter inside the horizon is similar to that of horizon. Finally, we consider particular models in this theory and generate constraints on the coupling parameter for the validity of GSLT in terms of recent cosmic parameters and power law solutions.
