Thermodynamics of a transient phantom scenario

Abstract

This work is devoted to the thermodynamics description of a phantom scenario proposed previously by the authors. The presence of negative chemical potential is unavoidable if we allege for a well defined thermodynamics framework since the cosmological model passages from phantom stage at present time to a future de Sitter evolution. As noted earlier in other works, we find that the negativity of the chemical potential is necessary to save phantom dark energy from thermodynamics inconsistencies.
