摘要
Inspired by Verlinde’s idea,some modified versions of entropic gravity have been suggested.Extending them in a unified formalism,herein we derive the generalized gravitational equations accordingly.From gravitational equations,the energy-momentum conservation law and cosmological equations are investigated.The covariant conservation law of energy-momentum tensor severely constrains viable modifications of entropic gravity.A discrepancy arises when two independent methods are applied to the homogeneous isotropic universe,posing a serious challenge to modified models of entropic gravity.
