We show that finite systems whose Hamiltonians obey a generalized homogeneity relation rigorously follow the nonextensive thermostatistics of Tsallis. In the thermodynamical limit, however, our results indicate that the Boltzmann-Gibbs…
The entropic form $S_q$ is, for any $q \neq 1$, {\it nonadditive}. Indeed, for two probabilistically independent subsystems, it satisfies $S_q(A+B)/k=[S_q(A)/k]+[S_q(B)/k]+(1-q)[S_q(A)/k][S_q(B)/k] \ne S_q(A)/k+S_q(B)/k$. This form will…
Thermodynamic relations are derived from first principles of mechanics for non-equilibrium processes. Since the key role herein is played by the law of increase of entropy, the latter is analyzed at first. It is shown that its derivation…
Consistent statistical physical description is given for systems where the elementary excitations are composite objects. Explicit calculational scheme is constructed for the energy density and the total number of thermodynamical degrees of…
We derive a class of equations of state for a multi-phase thermodynamic system associated with a finite set of order parameters that satisfy an integrable system of hydrodynamic type. As particular examples, we discuss one-phase systems…
Starting from the basic prescriptions of the Tsallis' nonextensive thermostatistics, i.e. generalized entropy and normalized q-expectation values, we study the relativistic nonextensive thermodynamics and derive a Boltzmann transport…
Macroscopic nonextensive thermodynamics is studied without recourse to microscopic statistical mechanics. It is shown that if entropy is nonextensive, the concept of physical temperature introduced through the generalized zeroth law of…
The entropy shows an unavoidable tendency of disorder in thermostatistics according to the second thermodynamics law. This provides a minimization entropy principle for quantum thermostatistics with the von Neumann entropy and nonextensive…
The underlying connection between the degrees of freedom of a system and its nonextensive thermodynamic behavior is addressed. The problem is handled by starting from a thermodynamical system with fractal structure and its analytical…
We show, in two different ways, that the Tsallis' partition function and its derivatives are related to thermodynamic quantities such as entropy, internal energy, etc., in the same way as in Boltzmann-Gibbs' formalism, with the Lagrange…
We consider the problem of defining free energy and other thermodynamic functions when the entropy is given as a general function of the probablity distribution, including that for non extensive forms. We find that the free energy, which is…
We show that the conservation and the non-additivity of the information, together with the additivity of the entropy make the entropy increase in an isolated system. The collapse of the entangled quantum state offers an example of the…
We discuss peculiar aspects of the first law of thermodynamics for systems characterized by the presence of meta-equilibrium quasi-stationary states for which the pertinent phase/configuration spaces is generally inhomogeneous. As a…
It is presented a microscopic interpretation for the temperature within Tsallis thermostatistics, generalizing the classical derivation based on the Boltzmann-Gibbs statistics. It is shown that with this definition the zeroth law and the…
Thermodynamic properties of extensive but nonadditive systems are investigated. The precise definitions of additivity and extensivity are presented, and we will see that additivity derives several important properties including the…
We develop a finite temperature field theory formalism in any dimension that has the filling fractions as the basic dynamical variables. The formalism efficiently decouples zero temperature dynamics from the quantum statistical sums. The…
An analysis of the thermodynamic behavior of quantum systems can be performed from a geometrical perspective investigating the structure of the state space. We have developed such an analysis for nonextensive thermostatistical frameworks,…
This thesis investigates the connection between quantum theory, thermodynamics and information theory. Theories with structure similar to that of quantum theory are considered, mathematically described by the framework of "Generalized…
We consider a situation where an $N$-level system (NLS) is coupled to a heat bath without being necessarily thermalized. For this situation we derive general Jarzinski-type equations and conclude that heat and entropy is flowing from the…
By using a $q$-calculus, the Walecka many-body field theory was studied in the context of the Tsallis framework. The most important aspect of the application of the $q$-calculus to the nonadditive formulation of QHD-I is that it naturally…
