In this paper, we derive the equations of state for the FRW universe in Einstein gravity and a modified gravity. The equation of state from Einstein gravity shows no P-V phase transition, while the equation of state from the modified gravity does, with the critical exponents being the same as those in mean field theory.
We define thermodynamic pressure P by work density W as the conjugate quantity of thermodynamic volume V from field equation. We derive the equations of state P=P(V, T) for the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) universe in Einstein gravity and a modified gravity respectively. We find that the equation of state from Einstein gravity shows no P-V phase transition, while the equation of state from the modified gravity does, where the critical exponents are the same as those in mean field theory.
