Contact polarizations and associated metrics in geometric thermodynamics

چکیده

Abstract In this work we show that a Legendre transformation is nothing but mere change of contact polarization from the point view geometry. Then, construct set Riemannian and pseudo-Riemannian metrics on manifold by introducing almost para-contact structures analyze their isometries. We it not possible to find class metric tensors which fulfills two properties: one hand, be independent i.e. transformations are corresponding isometries and, other, induces Hessian into submanifolds. This second property motivated well known geometric description thermodynamics based space equilibrium states whose properties related fluctuations system. define structure with such necessary abandon idea an associated or structure. even extending thermodynamic phase desiderata cannot fulfilled.

Critical Associated Metrics on Contact Manifolds Iii

In the first paper of this series we studied on a compact regular contact manifold the integral of the Ricci curvature in the direction of the characteristic vector field considered as a functional on the set of all associated metrics. We showed that the critical points of this functional are the metrics for which the characteristic vector field generates a 1-parameter group of isometries and c...

Metrics and Energy Landscapes in Irreversible Thermodynamics

We describe how several metrics are possible in thermodynamic state space but that only one, Weinhold’s, has achieved widespread use. Lengths calculated based on this metric have been used to bound dissipation in finite-time (irreversible) processes be they continuous or discrete, and described in the energy picture or the entropy picture. Examples are provided from thermodynamics of heat conve...

Extremal Metrics and Geometric Stability

This paper grew out of my lectures at Nankai Institute as well as a few other conferences in the last few years. The purpose of this paper is to describe some of my works on extremal Kähler metrics in the last fifteen years in a more unified way. In [Ti4], [Ti2], the author developed a method of relating certain stability of underlying manifolds to Kähler-Einstein metrics. A necessary and new c...

Geometric view of the thermodynamics of adsorption at a line of three-phase contact.

We consider three fluid phases meeting at a line of common contact and study the linear excesses per unit length of the contact line (the linear adsorptions Lambda(i)) of the fluid's components. In any plane perpendicular to the contact line, the locus of choices for the otherwise arbitrary location of that line that makes one of the linear adsorptions, say Lambda(2), vanish, is a rectangular h...

Contact Geometry of Mesoscopic Thermodynamics and Dynamics

The time evolution during which macroscopic systems reach thermodynamic equilibrium states proceeds as a continuous sequence of contact structure preserving transformations maximizing the entropy. This viewpoint of mesoscopic thermodynamics and dynamics provides a unified setting for the classical equilibrium and nonequilibrium thermodynamics, kinetic theory, and statistical mechanics. One of t...
