Generalized Entropy from Mixing: Thermodynamics, Mutual Information and Symmetry Breaking
نویسنده
چکیده
We review a new form of entropy suggested by us, with origin in mixing of states of systems due to interactions and deformations of phase cells. It is demonstrated that this nonextensive form also leads to asymmetric maximal entropy configurations unlike Shannon entropy. We discuss how, beginning with quantum entanglement of microsystems with one another and with the environment, one can obtain classical stochasticity for our form of entropy.

متن کاملThe Szilard engine revisited: Entropy, macroscopic randomness, and symmetry breaking phase transitions.
The role of symmetry breaking phase transitions in the Szilard engine is analyzed. It is shown that symmetry breaking is the only necessary ingredient for the engine to work. To support this idea, we show that the Ising model behaves exactly as the Szilard engine. We design a purely macroscopic Maxwell demon from an Ising model, demonstrating that a demon can operate with information about the ...
متن کاملClassifying Entropy Measures
Our paper analyzes some aspects of Uncertainty Measures. We need to obtain new ways to model adequate conditions or restrictions, constructed from vague pieces of information. The classical entropy measure originates from scientific fields; more specifically, from Statistical Physics and Thermodynamics. With time it was adapted by Claude Shannon, creating the current expanding Information Theor...
متن کاملGravitational Entropy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics
The spontaneous violation of Lorentz and diffeomorphism invariance in a phase near the big bang lowers the entropy, allowing for an arrow of time and the second law of thermodynamics. The spontaneous symmetry breaking leads to O(3, 1) → O(3) × R, where O(3) is the rotational symmetry of the Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker spacetime. The Weyl curvature tensor Cμνρσ vanishes in the FLRW space...

We draw relationships between the generalized data processing theorems of Ziv and Zakai (1973 and 1975) and the dynamical version of the second law of thermodynamics, a.k.a. the Boltzmann H–Theorem, which asserts that the Shannon entropy, H(Xt), pertaining to a finite– state Markov process {Xt}, is monotonically non–decreasing as a function of time t, provided that the steady–state distribution...
