چکیده
A new kinetic theory Boltzmann-like collision term including correlations is proposed. In equilibrium it yields the one-particle distribution function in the form of a generalised-Lorentzian resembling but not being identical with the so-called κ distribution frequently found in collisionless turbulent systems like space plasmas. We show that this distribution function satisfies a generalised H-theorem, yields an expression for the entropy that is concave. Thus, the distribution is a ‘true’ thermodynamic equilibrium distribution, presumably valid for turbulent systems. In equilibrium it is possible to construct the fundamental thermodynamic quantities. This is done for an ideal gas only. The new kinetic equation can form the basis for obtaining a set of hydrodynamic conservation laws and construction of a generalised transport theory for strongly correlated states of a system. 05.20.-y, 05.70.Ce, 51.10.+y, 52.25.Dg, 52.35.Ra, 52.65.Ff, 94.20.

متن کاملBeyond Gibbs-Boltzmann-Shannon: general entropies—the Gibbs-Lorentzian example
*Correspondence: Rudolf A. Treumann, International Space Science Institute, Hallerstrasse 6, CH-3012 Bern, Switzerland e-mail: [email protected] We propose a generalization of Gibbs’ statistical mechanics into the domain of non-negligible phase space correlations. Derived are the probability distribution and entropy as a generalized ensemble average, replacing Gibbs-Boltzmann-Shannon’s entro...
متن کاملSignificance and statistical errors in the analysis of DNA microarray data.
DNA microarrays are important devices for high throughput measurements of gene expression, but no rational foundation has been established for understanding the sources of within-chip statistical error. We designed a specialized chip and protocol to investigate the distribution and magnitude of within-chip errors and discovered that, as expected from theoretical expectations, measurement errors...
متن کاملDynamically Triangulating Lorentzian Quantum Gravity
Fruitful ideas on how to quantize gravity are few and far between. In this paper, we give a complete description of a recently introduced non-perturbative gravitational path integral whose continuum limit has already been investigated extensively in d < 4, with promising results. It is based on a simplicial regularization of Lorentzian space-times and, most importantly, possesses a well-defined...
متن کاملBrownian motion, hydrodynamics, and the osmotic pressure
It is shown that the osmotic pressure of a colloidal dispersion can be interpreted as the isotropic part of the macroscopic particle stress in the suspension. The particle stress is in turn expressible in terms of hydrodynamic interactions among the suspended particles. Thus, there is a completely mechanical definition of the osmotic pressure, just as there is for the pressure in a molecular fl...
