We refute the criticism expressed in a comment by P. Talkner and P. H\"anggi [Phys. Rev. E 102, 066101 (2020)] on our paper Phys. Rev. E 101, 050101(R) (2020). We first make clear that our paper is free of any technical mistakes. We then…

The fluctuation theorem is a pivotal result of statistical physics. It quantifies the probability of observing fluctuations which are in violation of the second law of thermodynamics. More specifically, it quantifies the ratio of the…

We demonstrate, both at the Newtonian and (general) relativistic levels, the existence of a generalization of Kelvin's circulation theorem (for pure fluids) which is applicable to perfect magnetohydrodynamics. The argument is based on the…

We show that the key formula in the works [Ding, Zhu, and Berakdar, Phys. Rev. B {\bf 79}, 045405 (2009); {\bf 84}, 115433 (2011); Ding, Zhu, Zhang, and Berakdar, Phys. Rev. B {\bf 82}, 155143 (2010)] is invalid in the extended graphene…

We show that the analysis presented in a recent comment by Coll and Ferrando \cite{comment} (qr-qc/0312058) is based on the erroneous assumption that the chemical potential and fractional concentration of a {\it mixture} of perfect fluids…

We respond to a Comment on our paper [Physical Review A 80, 023823 (2009)], which appears to have stemmed from a misunderstanding of the various energy-momentum tensors of classical electrodynamics. It is shown that each stress tensor, when…

We consider conservation of momentum in AQUAL, a field-theoretic extension to Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND). We show that while there is a sense in which momentum is conserved, it is only if momentum is attributed to the gravitational…

In this comment, we emphasize that the self-consistent spin wave theory in a recent paper [J. K"onig, H.-H. Lin, and A. H. MacDonald, Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 5628 (2000)] leads to incorrect results both at low temperatures and near T_c. Thus…

The angular momentum vector of a Heisenberg ferromagnet with isotropic exchange interaction is conserved, while under uniaxial crystalline anisotropy the projection of the total spin along the easy axis is a constant of motion. Using…

We are interested in a nonlocal conservation law which describes the morphodynamics of sand dunes sheared by a fluid flow, recently proposed by Andrew C. Fowler. We prove that constant solutions of Fowler's equation are non-linearly…

The two-fluid theory for superfluid hydrodynamics is derived from the fountain pressure result that condensed bosons move at constant entropy and are driven by the chemical potential gradient. Explicit results for $^4$He show that the…

This article establishes the global existence of weak solutions to a model proposed by Rosensweig (Rosensweig, Ferrohydrodynamics (1985)) for the dynamics of ferrofluids. The system is expressed by the conservation of linear momentum, the…

The Comment by Xiong et al. (arXiv:1610.06275) criticizing my Letter [Phys. Rev. Lett. 116, 133903 (2016)] was rejected by Physical Review Letters. In this Reply, I show that all their claims are wrong.

We comment on a recent paper by Li and Wang [Phys. Rev. Lett. 91, 044301 (2003)], and argue that their results violate the non-existence of a characteristic time scale in subdiffusive systems.
