Determining kinetic rate constants is a highly relevant problem in biochemistry, so various methods have been designed to extract them from experimental data. Such methods have two main components: the experimental apparatus and the…
We introduce the concept of kinetic equations representing a natural extension of the more conventional notion of a kinetic relation. Algebraic kinetic relations, widely used to model dynamics of dislocations, cracks and phase boundaries,…

Nonreciprocal interactions are commonplace in continuum-level descriptions of both biological and synthetic active matter, yet studies addressing their implications for time-reversibility have so far been limited to microscopic models.…

The kinetic theory for a fluid of hard spheres which undergo endothermic and/or exothermic reactions with mass transfer is developed. The exact balance equations for concentration, density, velocity and temperature are derived. The Enskog…
General relativity allows for the existence of closed time-like curves, along which a material object could travel back in time and interact with its past self. This possibility raises the question whether certain initial conditions, or…
Onsager's regression hypothesis connects the temporal relaxation of close-to-equilibrium systems with their dynamical correlation functions at thermal equilibrium. While the hypothesis is provably correct in classical systems, it is known…
Kinetic relations are required in order to characterize nonclassical undercompressive shock waves and formulate a well-posed initial value problem for nonlinear hyperbolic systems of conservation laws. Such nonclassical waves arise in weak…
Time reversal symmetry is a fundamental property of many quantum mechanical systems. The relation between statistical physics and time reversal is subtle and not all statistical theories conserve this particular symmetry, most notably…
