Reversibility, Coarse Graining and the Chaoticity Principle

چکیده
We describe a way of interpreting the chaotic principle of [GC1] more extensively than it was meant in the original works. Mathematically the analysis is based on the dynamical notions of Axiom A and Axiom B and on the notion of Axiom C, that we introduce arguing that it is suggested by the results of an experiment ([BGG]) on chaotic motions. Physically we interpret a breakdown of the Anosov property of a time reversible attractor (replaced, as a control parameter changes, by an Axiom A property) as a spontaneous breakdown of the time reversal symmetry: the relation between time reversal and the symmetry that remains after the breakdown is analogous to the breakdown of T -invariance while TCP still holds.

Basic Types of Coarse-Graining
We consider two basic types of coarse-graining: the Ehrenfest’s coarsegraining and its extension to a general principle of non-equilibrium thermodynamics, and the coarse-graining based on uncertainty of dynamical models and ε-motions (orbits). Non-technical discussion of basic notions and main coarse-graining theorems are presented: the theorem about entropy overproduction for the Ehrenfest’s c...

متن کاملAn Information-Theoretic Perspective on Coarse-Graining, Including the Transition from Micro to Macro
An information-theoretic perspective on coarse-graining is presented. It starts with an information characterization of configurations at the micro-level using a local information quantity that has a spatial average equal to a microscopic entropy. With a reversible micro dynamics, this entropy is conserved. In the micro-macro transition, it is shown how this local information quantity is transf...
متن کاملThe Mathematical Procedure of Coarse Graining: From Grad's Ten-Moment Equations to Hydrodynamics
We employ systematic coarse graining techniques to derive hydrodynamic equations from Grad’s ten-moment equations. The coarse graining procedure is designed such that it manifestly preserves the thermodynamic structure of the equations. The relevant thermodynamic structure and the coarse graining recipes suggested by statistical mechanics are described in detail and are illustrated by the examp...
متن کاملVersatile Object-Oriented Toolkit for Coarse-Graining Applications.
Coarse-graining is a systematic way of reducing the number of degrees of freedom representing a system of interest. Several coarse-graining techniques have so far been developed, such as iterative Boltzmann inversion, force-matching, and inverse Monte Carlo. However, there is no unified framework that implements these methods and that allows their direct comparison. We present a versatile objec...
