The Gibbs paradox revisited from the fluctuation theorem with absolute irreversibility

Abstract

The inclusion of the factor ln(1/N!)\ln (1/N!) in the thermodynamic entropy proposed by Gibbs is shown to be equivalent to the validity of the fluctuation theorem with absolute irreversibility for gas mixing.
