Modified cosmology through Barrow entropy

We investigate the cosmological consequences of the modified Friedmann equations when the entropy associated with the apparent horizon, given by Barrow entropy, $S\sim A^{1+δ/2}$, where $0\leqδ\leq1$, represents the amount of the quantum-gravitational deformation of the horizon. We study implications of this model in a flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) universe with/without cosmological constant. Taking the cosmological constant into account, this model can describe the current accelerated expansion, although the transition from deceleration phase to the acceleration phase takes place in the lower redshifts. We investigate the evolution of the scale factor and show that with increasing $δ$, the value of the scale factor increases as well. We also estimate the age of the universe in Barrow cosmology which is smaller than the age of the universe in standard cosmology.
