Kinetic theory for nongeodesic particle motion: Selfinteracting equilibrium states and effective viscous fluid pressures
The particles of a classical relativistic gas are supposed to move under the influence of a quasilinear (in the particle four-momenta), self-interacting force inbetween elastic, binary collisions. This force which is completely fixed by the equilibrium conditions of the gas, gives rise to an effective viscous pressure on the fluid phenomenological level. Earlier results concerning the possibili...
متن کاملIrreversible Processes in Inflationary Cosmological Models
By using the thermodynamic theory of irreversible processes and Einstein general relativity, a cosmological model is proposed where the early universe is considered as a mixture of a scalar field with a matter field. The scalar field refers to the inflaton while the matter field to the classical particles. The irreversibility is related to a particle production process at the expense of the gra...
متن کاملParticle Production and Positive Energy Theorems for Charged Black Holes in DeSitter
We study quantum mechanical and classical stability properties of Reissner-Nordstrom deSitter (RNdS) spacetimes, which describe black holes with mass M and charge Q in a background with cosmological constant Λ ≥ 0. There are two sources of particle production in these spacetimes; the black hole horizon and the cosmological horizon. A scattering calculation is done to compute the Hawking radiati...
متن کاملEquilibrium and nonequilibrium thermodynamics of particle-stabilized thin liquid films.
Our recent quasi-two-dimensional thermodynamic description of thin liquid films stabilized by colloidal particles is generalized to describe nonuniform equilibrium states of films in external potentials and nonequilibrium transport processes produced in the film by gradients of thermodynamic forces. Using a Monte Carlo simulation method, we have determined equilibrium equations of state for a f...
متن کاملCollisional Equilibrium, Particle Production and the Innationary Universe
Particle production processes in the expanding universe are described within a simple kinetic model. The equilibrium conditions for a Maxwell-Boltzmann gas with variable particle number are investigated. We nd that radiation and nonrelativistic matter may be in equilibrium at the same temperature provided the matter particles are created at a rate that is half the expansion rate. Using the fact...
