In this review, we establish the mathematical framework of geometrothermodynamics (GTD) as a formalism capable of describing non-extensive, quasi-homogeneous, self-gravitating systems in a Legendre-invariant manner. We argue that the…

We investigate the thermodynamic geometries of the most general static, spherically symmetric, topological black holes of the Ho\v{r}ava--Lifshitz gravity. In particular, we show that a Legendre invariant metric derived in the context of…

This work is devoted to the consistent modeling of a three-phase mixture of a gas, a liquid and its vapor. Since the gas and the vapor are mis-cible, the mixture is subjected to a non-symmetric constraint on the volume. Adopting the Gibbs…

We show that the thermodynamic Bethe ansatz equations for one-dimensional integrable many-body systems can be reinterpreted in such a way that they only code the statistical interactions, in the sense of Haldane, between particles of…

Dealing with a generic time-local non-Markovian master equation, we define current and power to be process-dependent as in classical thermodynamics. Each process is characterized by a symmetry transformation, a gauge of the master equation,…

We assume that markovian dynamics on a finite graph enjoys a gauge symmetry under local scalings of the probability density, derive the transformation law for the transition rates and interpret the thermodynamic force as a gauge potential.…

In the space of thermodynamic equilibrium states we introduce a Legendre invariant metric which contains all the information about the thermodynamics of black holes. The curvature of this thermodynamic metric becomes singular at those…
