In this paper we apply the entropy principle to the relativistic version of the differential equations describing a standard fluid flow, that is, the equations for mass, momentum, and a system for the energy matrix. These are the second…
An estimation of the logarithmic timescale in quantum systems having an ergodic dynamics in the semiclassical limit of quasiclassical large parameters, is presented. The estimation is based on the existence of finite generators for ergodic…
The entropy of a classical thermally isolated Hamiltonian system is given by the logarithm of the measure of phase space enclosed by the constant energy hyper-surface, also known as volume entropy. It has been shown that on average the…
We derive the leading order asymptotics of the logarithmic potential of a two dimensional Coulomb gas at arbitrary positive temperature. The proof is based on precise evaluation of exponential moments, and the theory of Gaussian…
According to a previous conjecture, spatial and temporal Lyapunov exponents of chaotic extended systems can be obtained from derivatives of a suitable function: the entropy potential. The validity and the consequences of this hypothesis are…
We prove a discrete analogue to a classical isoperimetric theorem of Weil for surfaces with non-positive curvature. It is shown that hexagons in the triangular lattice have maximal volume among all sets of a given boundary in any…
We study the set of harmonic limits of empirical measures in topological dynamical systems. We obtain a characterization of unique ergodicity based of logarithmic (harmonic) mean convergence in place of Ces\`aro convergence. We introduce…
We are interested in the properties and relations of entanglement measures. Especially, we focus on the squashed entanglement and relative entropy of entanglement, as well as their analogues and variants. Our first result is a monogamy-like…
We derive bounds on the volume of an inclusion in a body in two or three dimensions when the conductivities of the inclusion and the surrounding body are complex and assumed to be known. The bounds are derived in terms of average values of…
For probability measures $\mu$ on compact subsets of $\CC^n$ we define two functionals $J(\mu)$ and $W(\mu)$ modeled on discrete approximations to $\mu$ and multivariate Vandermonde determinants. We show that these functionals coincide, up…
In this short note we prove that the degree of the Gauss map {\nu} of a closed 3-dimensional hypersurface of the Euclidean space is a lower bound for the total bending functional B, introduced by G. Wiegmink. Consequently, the energy…
We describe a numerical technique to compute the equilibrium measure, in logarithmic potential theory, living on the attractor of Iterated Function Systems composed of one-dimensional affine maps. This measure is obtained as the limit of a…
Rudnick and Wigman (Ann. Henri Poincar\'{e}, 2008; arXiv:math-ph/0702081) conjectured that the variance of the volume of the nodal set of arithmetic random waves on the $d$-dimensional torus is $O(E/\mathcal{N})$, as $E\to\infty$, where $E$…
The problem of counting the different ways of folding the planar triangular lattice is shown to be equivalent to that of counting the possible 3-colorings of its bonds, a dual version of the 3-coloring problem of the hexagonal lattice…
The entropic pressure in the vicinity of a two dimensional square lattice polygon is examined as a model of the entropic pressure near a planar ring polymer. The scaling of the pressure as a function of distance from the polygon and length…
It is argued that logarithmic factors multiplying power law behavior are to be expected at or near non-mean field critical points of systems with short-range interactions described theoretically by any kind of n -> 0 limit, in which the…
The explicit semiclassical treatment of the logarithmic perturbation theory for the bound-state problem for the spherical anharmonic oscillator and the screened Coulomb potential is developed. Based upon the $\hbar$-expansions and suitable…
Relaxation theorems which apply to one, two and three-dimensional nonlinear elasticity are proved. We take into account the fact an infinite amount of energy is required to compress a finite line, surface or volume into zero line, surface…
Black hole thermodynamics suggests that the maximum entropy that can be contained in a region of space is proportional to the area enclosing it rather than its volume. I argue that this follows naturally from loop quantum gravity and a…
In this paper we prove novel lower bounds for the Ginzburg-Landau energy with or without magnetic field. These bounds rely on an improvement of the "vortex balls construction" estimates by extracting a new positive term in the energy lower…
