Abstract

We address the problem of defining the concept of entropy for anisotropic cosmological models. In particular, we analyze for the Bianchi I and V models the entropy which follows from postulating the validity of the laws of standard thermodynamics in cosmology. Moreover, we analyze the Cardy-Verlinde construction of entropy and show that it cannot be associated with the one following from relativistic thermodynamics.
