摘要：Loop quantum cosmology (LQC) is very powerful to deal with the
behavior of early universe. Moreover, the
effective loop quantum cosmology gives a successful description of
the universe in the semiclassical region. We consider the apparent
horizon of the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe as a
thermodynamical system and investigate the thermodynamics of LQC
in the semiclassical region. The effective density and effective
pressure in the modified Friedmann equation from LQC not only
determine the evolution of the universe in LQC scenario but
also are actually found to be the thermodynamic
quantities. This result comes from the energy definition in
cosmology (the Misner-Sharp gravitational energy) and is
consistent with thermodynamic laws. We prove that within the
framework of loop quantum cosmology, the elementary equation of
equilibrium thermodynamics is still valid.
