We explore the thermodynamics of AdS$_5$ black holes in two models: i) an improved holographic QCD model with a simple dilaton potential, and ii) the St\"uckelberg model in 5D. In the former case, by applying techniques of singular…
A model for holographic dark energy is proposed, following the idea that the short distance cut-off is related to the infrared cut-off. We assume that the infrared cut-off relevant to the dark energy is the size of the event horizon. With…
