A proper counting of states for black holes in the quantum geometry approach shows that the dominant configuration for spins are distributions that include spins exceeding one-half at the punctures. This raises the value of the Immirzi parameter and the black hole entropy. However, the coefficient of the logarithmic correction remains -1/2 as before. The quantum geometry approach to a quantum t...

We introduce a concept of independence entropy for symbolic dynamical systems. This notion of entropy measures the extent to which one can freely insert symbols in positions without violating the constraint defined by the shift space. We show that for a certain class of one-dimensional shift spaces X, the independence entropy coincides with the limiting, as d tends to infinity, topological entr...

Introduction Non-linear analysis techniques have been reported as a way of characterizing Alzheimer’s disease (AD) from electroencephalograms (EEG), which could be utilised for early and more accurate detection of the disease. Among them, entropy has been used increasingly for EEG studies since the introduction of Approximate Entropy (ApEn) and Sample Entropy (SampEn). A newly developed entropy...

For a topological dynamical system (X, f), consisting of a continuous map f : X → X, and a (not necessarily compact) set Z ⊂ X, Bowen [2] defined a dimension-like version of entropy, hX(f, Z). In the same work, he introduced a notion of entropyconjugacy for pairs of invertible compact systems: the systems (X, f) and (Y, g) are entropy-conjugate if there exist invariant Borel sets X ′ ⊂ X and Y ...

We nd a lower bound for the entropy dissipation of the spatially homogeneous Landau equation with hard potentials in terms of the entropy itself. We deduce from this explicit estimates on the speed of convergence towards equilibrium for the solution of this equation. In the case of so-called overmaxwellian potentials, the convergence is exponential. We also compute a lower bound for the spectra...

We discuss two measures of entanglement in quantum field theory and their holographic realizations. For field theories admitting a global symmetry, we introduce a global symmetry entanglement entropy, associated with the partitioning of the symmetry group. This quantity is proposed to be related to the generalized holographic entanglement entropy defined via the partitioning of the internal spa...

We report on the recent progress in theoretical and numerical studies of entanglement entropy in lattice gauge theories. It is shown that the concept of quantum entanglement between gauge fields in two complementary regions of space can only be introduced if the Hilbert space of physical states is extended in a certain way. In the extended Hilbert space, the entanglement entropy can be partiall...

the purpose of this paper is to investigate the egm method and the behavior of a solid particle suspended in a twodimensional rectangular cavity due to conjugate natural convection. a thermal lattice boltzmann bgk model is implemented to simulate the two dimensional natural convection and the particle phase was modeled using the lagrangian–lagrangian approach where the solid particles are treat...

The connection between Tsallis entropy for a multifractal distribution and Jackson’s q-derivative is established. Based on this derivation and definition of a homogeneous function, a q-analogue of Shannon’s entropy is discussed. q-additivity of this entropy is shown. We also define q-analogue of Kullback relative entropy. The implications of lattice structure beneath q-calculus are highlighted ...
