Tsallis holographic dark energy reconsidered

We consider the interacting Tsallis Holographic Dark Energy (THDE), with the Granda-Oliveros (GO) scale as the infrared (IR) cutoff, as dynamical vacuum. We analytically solved for the Hubble parameter, in a spatially flat FLRW universe with dark energy and matter as components, and the solution traces the evolutionary path from the prior decelerated to the late accelerated epoch. Without interaction, the model predicts a Lambda CDM like behavior with an effective cosmological constant. We used Pantheon Supernovae type Ia, observational Hubble data (OHD), cosmic microwave background (CMB), and baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) data to constrain the free parameters of the model. The estimated values of the cosmological parameters were consistent with observational results. We analyzed the behavior of the model using the statefinder and omega(e)'- omega(e) plane where omega(e) and omega(e)' corresponds to the effective equation of state and its evolution, respectively. The model shows a quintessence behavior in general, and the model trajectory ends in a point that corresponds to the de Sitter phase. We performed a dynamical analysis of the model, concluding that the prior decelerated and late accelerated phases are unstable and stable equilibria, respectively. We also investigated the thermodynamical nature of the model and found that the generalized second law remains valid in the dynamical vacuum treatment of the model.
