We study the emergence of entropy in gravitational production of dark matter particles, ultra light scalars minimally coupled to gravity and heavier fermions, from inflation to radiation domination (RD). Initial conditions correspond to dark matter fields in their Bunch-Davies vacua during inflation. The out states are correlated particle-antiparticle pairs, and the distribution function is found in both cases. In the adiabatic regime the density matrix features rapid decoherence by dephasing from interference effects in the basis of out particle states, effectively reducing it to a diagonal form with a concomitant von Neumann entropy. We show that it is exactly the entanglement entropy obtained by tracing over one member of the correlated pairs. Remarkably, for both statistics the entanglement entropy is similar to the quantum kinetic entropy in terms of the distribution function with noteworthy differences stemming from pair correlations. The entropy and the kinetic fluid form of the energy momentum tensor all originate from decoherence of the density matrix. For ultra light scalar dark matter, the distribution function peaks at low momentum $propto 1/k^3$ and the specific entropy is $ll 1$. This is a hallmark of a emph{condensed phase} but with vanishing field expectation value. For fermionic dark matter the distribution function is nearly thermal and the specific entropy is $mathcal{O}(1)$ typical of a thermal species. We argue that the functional form of the entanglement entropy is quite general and applies to alternative production mechanisms such as parametric amplification during reheating.
Perfect fluids are modeled by using an effective field theory approach which naturally gives a self-consistent and unambiguous description of the intrinsic non-adiabatic contribution to pressure variations. We study the impact of intrinsic entropy pe
It has been shown beyond reasonable doubt that the majority (about 95%) of the total energy budget of the universe is given by the dark components, namely Dark Matter and Dark Energy. What constitutes these components remains to be satisfactorily und
The necessary information to distinguish a local inhomogeneous mass density field from its spatial average on a compact domain of the universe can be measured by relative information entropy. The Kullback-Leibler (KL) formula arises very naturally in
In order to apply holography and entropy relations to the whole universe, which is a gravitational and thus nonextensive system, for consistency one should use the generalized definition for the universe horizon entropy, namely Tsallis nonextensive e
We examine the consequences of a universe with a non-constant cosmological term in Einsteins equations and find that the Bianchi identities reduce to the first law of thermodynamics when cosmological term is identified as being proportional to the en
