There are problems with defining the thermodynamic limit of systems with long-range interactions; as a result, the thermodynamic behavior of these types of systems is anomalous. In the present work, we review some concepts from both…

We describe a method, based on "hard" contact topology, of showing the existence of semi-infinite trajectories of contact Hamiltonian flows which start on one Legendrian submanifold and asymptotically converge to another Legendrian…

Due to the emergence of symplectic geometry, the geometric treatment of mechanics underwent a great development during the last century. In this scenario the pressence of symmetries in Hamiltonian systems leads naturally to the existence of…

This paper is a continuation of our study of the dynamics of contact Hamiltonian systems in \cite{JY}, but without monotonicity assumption. Due to the complexity of general cases, we focus on the behavior of action minimizing orbits. We…

Flows on symplectic, Poisson, contact, and metriplectic manifolds are reviewed in order to describe our main result, which is to associate a natural metriplectic dynamical system on the general one-jet bundle $J^1N=T^*N\times \mathbb{R}$,…

Thermodynamics (in concert with its sister discipline, statistical physics) can be regarded as a data reduction scheme based on partitioning a total system into a subsystem and a bath that weakly interact with each other. The ubiquity and…
