We introduce the concept of inflation word entropy for random substitutions with a constant and primitive substitution matrix. Previous calculations of the topological entropy of such systems implicitly used this concept and established…
Thermodynamics is usually developed starting from entropy and the maximum entropy principle. We investigate here to what extent one can replace entropy with relative entropy which has several advantages, for example in the context of local…
Previously derived expressions for the characteristic function of work performed on a quantum system by a classical external force are generalized to arbitrary initial states of the considered system and to Hamiltonians with degenerate…
Recently, the author and collaborators proposed a method to construct a new conserved charge different from the Noether one for general relativistic field theory on curved space-time with energy-momentum tensor covariantly conserved, and…
We present our view in a standing debate about the definition and meaning of power-law entropies for continuous systems. Our suggestion is that such arguments should take into account the generalized operations of addition and…
An extension of the entropy power inequality to the form $N_r^\alpha(X+Y) \geq N_r^\alpha(X) + N_r^\alpha(Y)$ with arbitrary independent summands $X$ and $Y$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ is obtained for the R\'enyi entropy and powers $\alpha \geq…
Recent theoretical predictions and experimental measurements have demonstrated that equilibrium free energy differences can be obtained from exponential averages of nonequilibrium work values. These results are similar in structure, but not…
In 1939, von Neumann argued for the equivalence of the thermodynamic entropy and $-\text{Tr}\rho\ln\rho$, since known as the von Neumann entropy. Hemmo and Shenker (2006) recently challenged this argument by pointing out an alleged…
Talagrand's fundamental result on the entropy numbers is slightly improved. Our proof uses different ideas based on results from greedy approximation.
We propose a modified gravity theory by extending the Einstein-Hilbert action with an arbitrary function of the Ricci scalar and the Kretschmann scalar invariants. The resulting modified Friedmann equations for a spatially flat FRW universe…
This paper is the second part of a previous paper (Marquet, 2019) dealing with the need to define the entropy with an absolute way, by using the third law of thermodynamics. In this second part it is shown that there is a need and interest…
The preceding Comment by Xu et al. (Phys. Rev. Lett. 122, 059803 (2019); arXiv:1808.05390) erroneously applies the entropic stress expression in our Letter (T.C. O'Connor et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 121, 047801 (2018); arXiv:1806.09509) to…
Functional version for the so-called Furuta parametric relative operator entropy is here investigated. Some related functional inequalities are also discussed. The theoretical results obtained by our functional approach immediately imply…
A mathematical interpretation of the usual definition of entropy (for a discrete probability distribution or a trace 1 positive operator) is given. This formulation makes some properties of entropy immediate.
We formulate, under general conditions, the problem of maximisation of the total entropy of the system, assumed to be in a composable form, for fixed total value of the constrained quantity. We derive the general form of the composability…
We derive the expressions for canonical energy, momentum, and angular momentum for multiple metric theories. We prove that although the metric fields are generally interacting, the total energy is the sum of conserved energies corresponding…
We use rigorous non-equilibrium thermodynamic arguments to prove (i) the residual entropy of any system is bounded below by the experimentally (calorimetrically) determined absolute temperature entropy, which itself is bounded below by the…
The available enthalpy is an early form of the modern thermodynamic concept of exergy, which is the generic name for the amount of work obtainable when some matter is brought to a state of equilibrium with its surroundings by means of…
By decoupling forward and backward stochastic trajectories, we construct a family of martingales and work theorems for both overdamped and underdamped Langevin dynamics. Our results are made possible by an alternative derivation of work…
We derive the law of entropy non-decrease directly from the Kelvin-Planck principle for simple and compound systems without using the Clausius inequality. A key of the derivation is a new formulation of entropy in terms of work by a Carnot…
