Thermodynamic instability of dark energy equation of state

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2023-02-09 v1

Abstract

We derive the dark energy fluid equation of state P=ϵ=const.P = -\epsilon = {\rm const.} as an extremum of entropy, subject to the Hamiltonian constraint of General Relativity. However, we identify perturbations that can render this extremum an entropy minimum designating a thermodynamic instability and specify the mathematical condition for this to occur.
