Article history: It was shown by Tsallis and Cirto that thermodynamical entropy of a gravitational system such as black Received 8 June 2018 β hole must be generalized to the non-additive entropy, which is given by Sh = γ A , where A is the Received in revised form 2 August 2018 horizon area and β is the nonextensive parameter [1]. In this paper, by taking the entropy associated Accepted 21 August 2018 with the apparent horizon of the Friedmann–Robertson–Walker (FRW) Universe in the form of Tsallis Available online 24 August 2018 entropy, and assuming the first law of thermodynamics, dE = T dS + WdV, holds on the apparent Editor: N. Lambert h h horizon, we are able to derive the corresponding Friedmann equations describing the dynamics of the universe with any spatial curvature. We also examine the time evolution of the total entropy and show that the generalized second law of thermodynamics is fulfilled in a region enclosed by the apparent horizon. Then, modifying the emergence proposal of gravity proposed by Padmanabhan and calculating the difference between the surface degrees of freedom and the bulk degrees of freedom in a region of space, we again arrive at the modified Friedmann equation of the FRW Universe with any spatial curvature which is the same as one obtained from the first law of thermodynamics. We also study the cosmological consequences of Tsallis cosmology. Interestingly enough, we find that this model can explain simultaneously the late time acceleration in the universe filled with pressureless matter without invoking , as well as the early deceleration. Besides, the age problem can be circumvented automatically for an accelerated universe and is estimated larger than 3/2age of the universe in standard cosmology. Taking β = 2/5, we find the ranges as 13.12 Gyr < t0 < 16.32 Gyr, which is consistent with recent observations. Finally, using the Jeans’s analysis, we comment, in brief, on the density perturbation in the context of Tsallis cosmology and found that the growth of energy differs compared to the standard cosmology. © 2018 The Author.
