Relativistic Transport and Fluctuation-dissipation Theorems
نویسندگان
چکیده
The first relativistic stochastic process has been constructed ten years ago to help understand the differences between Galilean and relativistic transport phenomena. We first review the litterature on this process, highlighting the striking conclusion that no coherent hydrodynamic theory of relativistic transport can be constructed and that only kinetic models are to be envisaged. The second part of this contribution deals with diffusion in an expanding universe and the construction of new fluctuation-dissipation theorems.

Fluctuation-Dissipation Theorems in an Expanding Universe
The recently constructed minimal extension of the special relativistic Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process to curved space-time cannot be used to model realistically diffusions on cosmological scales because it does not take into account the evolution of the thermodynamical state of the matter with cosmological time. We therefore introduce a new class of non minimal extensions characterized by time-depe...

= 1, is derived which holds simultaneously with the first relation and where ∆h is proportional to the Hubble constant. Furthermore, the fluctuation theorems are shown to provide a physical criterion to resolve the known discretization dilemma arising in special-relativistic Brownian motion. Explicit examples and a general method for the computation of non-Gaussian entropy fluctuations are prov...
متن کاملVortex Dynamics, Resistivity Formula, and Fluctuation-dissipation Theorems *
We investigate the problem of forces on moving vortex in a superfluid or superconductor. The main purpose is to locate the source which leads to the contradictory results in the literature. We establish the connection between this problem to the difficult but well studied subject of resistivity formula in transport theory. The relaxation time approximation used in the force calculation via forc...
متن کاملRelativistic fluctuating hydrodynamics
By applying the fluctuation dissipation theorem [1] to the Navier Stokes equation, Landau and Lifshitz developed long ago the standard theory of fluctuating hydrodynamics [2] [3] [4]. This theory is both appealing and successful, and it is consistent with the fluctuating hydrodynamics which is derived if fluctuation dissipation theory is first applied to the Boltzmann equation [5], and then the...
متن کاملCommon Origin of Quantum Regression and Quantum Fluctuation Dissipation Theorems
It is shown that the quantum fluctuation dissipation theorem can be considered as a mathematical formulation in the spectral representation of Onsager hypothesis on the regression of fluctuations in physical systems. It is shown that the quantum fluctuation dissipation theorem can be generalized to an arbitrary stationary state. 1 Introduction. Under thermal equilibrium conditions the behavior ...
