We analyze the physical meaning of fluctuations of the phase space contraction rate, that we also call entropy creation rate, and its observability in space-time intermittency phenomena. For concreteness we consider a Navier-Stokes fluid.

Two-dimensional pure electrodynamics is mapped into two-dimensional gravity in the first order formalism at classical and quantum levels. Due to the fact that the degrees of freedom of these two theories do not match, we are enforced to…

Based on Landauer's principle, we provide a geometrical definition for the entropy of a given static, spherically symmetric spacetime. Considering a congruence of geodesics across a surface, one defines the entropy of a congruence as the…
A duality between spacetime manifolds, the geodesic duality, is introduced. Two manifolds are geodesic dual, if the transformation between their metrics is also the transformation between their geodesics. That is, the transformation that…
A stochastic flow representation is considered with the Eulerian velocity decomposed between a smooth large scale component and a rough small-scale turbulent component. The latter is specified as a random field uncorrelated in time.…
Extending phase space to include time and it canonical conjugate energy as well as the usual momentum and position variables, and then introducing the constraint which sets energy equal to the Hamiltonian, gives a symplectic action of the…
In two-dimensional decaying homogeneous isotropic turbulence, kinetic energy and enstrophy are respectively transferred to larger and smaller scales. In such spatiotemporally complex dynamics, it is challenging to identify the important…
