The selection of an equilibrium state by maximising the entropy of a system, subject to certain constraints, is often powerfully motivated as an exercise in logical inference, a procedure where conclusions are reached on the basis of…

The distribution function P(j) of the microscopic energy flux, j, in equilibrium state is studied. It is observed that P(j) has a broad peak in small j regime and a stretched-exponential decay for large j. The peak structure originates in a…
Within generalized random energy models, we study the effects of energy discreteness and of entropy extensivity in the low temperature phase. At zero temperature, discreteness of the energy induces replica symmetry breaking, in contrast to…
