We propose the use of the functional determinant of geometric operators in constructing an entropy functional associated to geometric flows. Our approach is based on the direct computation of the partition function, with a well-defined set…

This work examines some aspects related to the existence of negative mass. The requirement for the partition function to converge leads to two distinct approaches. Initially, convergence is achieved by assuming a negative absolute…

Entropy is the distinguishing and most important concept of our efforts to understand and regularize our observations of a very large class of natural phenomena, and yet, it is one of the most contentious concepts of physics. In this…

Entropy functionals are computed for non-stationary distributions of particles of Lorentz gas and hard disks. The distributions consisting of beams of particles are found to have the largest amount of entropy and entropy increase. The…

We solve the Schr\"odinger wave equation for the generalized Morse and Cusp molecular potential models. In the limit of high temperature, at first, we need to calculate the canonical partition function which is basically used to study the…

A formulation of the density functional theory is constructed on the foundations of entropic inference. The theory is introduced as an application of maximum entropy for inhomogeneous fluids in thermal equilibrium. It is shown that entropic…

We study $\kappa$-maximal cofinitary groups for $\kappa$ regular uncountable, $\kappa = \kappa^{<\kappa}$. Revisiting earlier work of Kastermans and building upon a recently obtained higher analogue of Bell's theorem, we show that: 1. Any…

We examine the minimization of information entropy for measures on the phase space of bounded domains, subject to constraints that are averages of grand canonical distributions. We describe the set of all such constraints and show that it…

In this paper we relate the partition function to the max-statistics of random variables. In particular, we provide a novel framework for approximating and bounding the partition function using MAP inference on randomly perturbed models. As…

The implicit signature k consists of the multiplication and the ({\omega}-1)-power. We describe a procedure to transform each {\kappa}-term over a finite alphabet A into a certain canonical form and show that different canonical forms have…

Starting from an algebraic approach of quantum physics it has been shown via the Tomita-Takesaki theorem and the KMS condition that the canonical density matrix contains the dynamics of the system provided we use a rescaling of time. In…

In classical Hamiltonian theories, entropy may be understood either as a statistical property of canonical systems, or as a mechanical property, that is, as a monotonic function of the phase space along trajectories. In classical mechanics,…
