A Note on Burg’s Modified Entropy in Statistical Mechanics
Abstract: Burg’s entropy plays an important role in this age of information euphoria, particularly in understanding the emergent behavior of a complex system such as statistical mechanics. For discrete or continuous variable, maximization of Burg’s Entropy subject to its only natural and mean constraint always provide us a positive density function though the Entropy is always negative. On the ...
متن کاملA note on the Landauer principle in quantum statistical mechanics
The Landauer principle asserts that the energy cost of erasure of one bit of information by the action of a thermal reservoir in equilibrium at temperature T is never less than kBT log 2. We discuss Landauer’s principle for quantum statistical models describing a finite level quantum system S coupled to an infinitely extended thermal reservoirR. Using Araki’s perturbation theory of KMS states a...
متن کاملNote on Two Theorems in Nonequilibrium Statistical Mechanics
Recently a Fluctuation Theorem (FT) has been proved by the authors (GC), [1], for fluctuations in nonequilibrium stationary states. Considerable confusion has been generated about the connection of this theorem and an earlier one by Evans and Searles (ES), [2], so that it seemed worthwhile to try to clarify the present situation with regards to these two theorems. In a paper in 1993 by Evans, C...
متن کاملStatistical mechanics on isoradial graphs
Isoradial graphs are a natural generalization of regular graphs which give, for many models of statistical mechanics, the right framework for studying models at criticality. In this survey paper, we first explain how isoradial graphs naturally arise in two approaches used by physicists: transfer matrices and conformal field theory. This leads us to the fact that isoradial graphs provide a natur...
متن کاملA Note on the Statistical Mechanics of Violent Relaxation of Phase Space Elements of Different Densities
The statistical mechanical investigation of Violent Relaxation of phase space elements of different densities first derived by Lynden-Bell (1967) is re-examined. It is found that the mass independence of the equations of motion of Violent Relaxation calls for a constraint on the volume of the phase space elements used to formulate the statistical mechanical description of Violent Relaxation. In...
