Microscopic Reversibility and Macroscopic Irreversibility: From a viewpoint of Algorithmic Randomness

Statistical Mechanics 2019-11-19 v2

Abstract

Emergence of deterministic and irreversible macroscopic behavior from deterministic and reversible microscopic dynamics is understood as a result of the law of large numbers. In this paper, we prove on the basis of the theory of algorithmic randomness that Martin-L\"of random initial microstates satisfy an irreversible macroscopic law in the Kac infinite chain model. We find that the time-reversed state of a random state is not random as well as violates the macroscopic law.
