Since the 1970s contact geometry has been recognized as an appropriate framework for the geometric formulation of the state properties of thermodynamic systems, without, however, addressing the formulation of non-equilibrium thermodynamic…

In general relativity, it is difficult to localise observables such as energy, angular momentum, or centre of mass in a bounded region. The difficulty is that there is dissipation. A self-gravitating system, confined by its own gravity to a…

We define a contact metric structure on the manifold corresponding to a second order ordinary differential equation $d^2y/dx^2=f(x,y,y')$ and show that the contact metric structure is Sasakian if and only if the 1-form $\frac{1}{2}(dp-fdx)$…
