Bianchi-I anisotropic universe with Barrow holographic dark energy

Abstract

Abstract In this paper, we study Bianchi type-I universe in the presence of Barrow holographic dark energy and matter. Anisotropic cosmological model is explored here using the recently proposed holographic principle by Barrow where the standard Bekenstein–Hawking entropy is a special case. The holographic dark energy is employed to investigate the evolution of matter density and the dark energy density in an anisotropic Bianchi-I universe. The equation of state parameter of the dark energy is found to lie in the quintessence or in the phantom regime at the present epoch depending on the value of the new exponent and anisotropy in the universe. We found that an anisotropic universe with higher anisotropy transits to a late accelerating phase before a universe with lower anisotropy. It is also observed that the new exponent plays an important role to identify the nature of the universe.
