Nelson's stochastic mechanics may be understood as a stochastic underpinning, or reconstruction, of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics, once the diffusion scale is fixed by $\hbar$ and the admissible states are restricted by the usual…
Multiplicative cascades have been introduced in turbulence to generate random or deterministic fields having intermittent values and long-range power-law correlations. Generally this is done using discrete construction rules leading to…
Most classical mechanical systems are based on dynamical variables whose values are real numbers. Energy conservation is then guaranteed if the dynamical equations are phrased in terms of a Hamiltonian function, which then leads to…
Superstatistics is an elegant framework for the description of steady-state thermodynamics, mostly used for systems with long-range interactions such as plasmas. In this work, we show that the potential energy distribution of a classical…
Exploiting the rich phenomenology of periodically-driven many-body systems is notoriously hindered by persistent heating in both the classical and quantum realm. Here, we investigate to what extent coupling to a large thermal reservoir…

We study the thermodynamic formalism of systems where the potential depends randomly on an exterior system. We define the {\em pressure out of equilibrium} for such a family of potentials, and prove a corresponding variational principle. We…
We develop a non-extensive thermodynamic formalism for the one-sided shift on a finite alphabet, inspired by Tsallis' generalization of Boltzmann entropy in statistical physics. We introduce notions of $q$-entropy, $q$-pressure, and…
The usual canonical Hamiltonian or Lagrangian formalism of classical mechanics applied to macroscopic systems describes energy conserving adiabatic motion. If irreversible diabatic processes are to be included, then the law of increasing…
We study classical Hamiltonian systems in which the intrinsic proper time evolution parameter is related through a probability distribution to the physical time, which is assumed to be discrete. In this way, a physical clock with discrete…

Shape-dependent thermodynamics and non-local hydrodynamics are argued to occur in dissipative steady states of driven diffusive systems. These predictions are confirmed by numerical simulations. Unlike power-law correlations, these…
