Recently, in Phys. Rev. Lett. 95, 140601 (2005), P. Grassberger addresses the interesting issue of the applicability of q-statistics to the renowned Feigenbaum attractor. He concludes there is no genuine connection between the dynamics at…
Critiques presented by P. Grassberger in Phys. Rev. Lett. 95, 140601 (2005) are addressed.
We show that recent claims for the non-stationary behaviour of the logistic map at the Feigenbaum point based on non-extensive thermodynamics are either wrong or can be easily deduced from well-known properties of the Feigenbaum attractor.…
It was recently published by M. Nauenberg [1] a quite long list of objections about the physical validity for thermal statistics of the theory sometimes referred to in the literature as {\it nonextensive statistical mechanics}. This…
We show that the two complementary parts of the dynamics associated to the Feigenbaum attractor, inside and towards the attractor, form together a q -deformed statistical-mechanical structure. A time-dependent partition function produced by…
In this article a non--technical survey is given of the present status of Axiomatic Quantum Field Theory and interesting future directions of this approach are outlined. The topics covered are the universal structure of the local algebras…
This article is written in memory of Pierre Hohenberg with appreciation for his deep commitment to the basic principles of theoretical physics. I summarize recent developments in the theory of dislocation-enabled deformation of crystalline…
Inflation with a scalar-field potential of the form \lambda (\phi^2-v^2)^2 can be described in terms of a parametrical attractor with critical points, whose driftage depends on the control value of the slowly changing Hubble rate. The…
During the past dozen years there have been numerous articles on a relation between entropy and probability which is non-additive and has a parameter $q$ that depends on the nature of the thermodynamic system under consideration. For $q=1$…
Statistical formulations of thermodynamic entropy, such as those by Boltzmann and Gibbs, were originally developed for classical systems and are well understood in that context. However, the foundational aspects of quantum statistical…
In his Comment [1], Philip Strasberg (PS) argues from the analysis of different examples that the framework we have presented in [2] does not recover known results of macroscopic textbook thermodynamics. Here, we show that such apparent…
Comment to "Nonextensive Thermodynamics and Glassy Behaviour in Hamiltonian Systems" by A. Rapisarda and A. Pluchino, Europhysics News 36, 202 (2005).
In this paper, we show the detail of our recent paper Effects of cosmic-string framework on the thermodynamical properties of an anharmonic oscillator using the ordinary statistics and the q-deformed superstatistics approaches published in…
This is the Reply to the revised Comment [Phys. Rev. Lett. 102, 139601; arXiv:0810.4791] by Joachim Krug on our paper: C. Escudero, Phys. Rev. Lett. 100, 116101 (2008); arXiv:0804.1898.
We show how statistical thermodynamics can be formulated in situations in which thermodynamics applies, while equilibrium statistical mechanics does not. A typical case is, in the words of Landau and Lifshitz, that of partial (or…
The forms of Euler and Gibbs-Duhem relations discussed in thermodynamics of extensive systems are shown to hold also for nonextensive systems with long-range interactions with a novel interpretation of entities appearing therein. In this…
It has been argued in [EPL {\bf 90} (2010) 50004], entitled {\it Essential discreteness in generalized thermostatistics with non-logarithmic entropy}, that "continuous Hamiltonian systems with long-range interactions and the so-called…
We establish the existence of a far-from-equilibrium attractor in weakly-coupled gauge theory undergoing 0+1d Bjorken expansion which goes beyond the energy-momentum tensor to the detailed form of the one-particle distribution function. We…
Transforming canonical scalars to the Einstein frame can give a multi-field generalization of pole inflation (namely, a scalar with a divergent kinetic term) at vanishing field-dependent Planck mass. However, to obtain an attractor, the…
This article aims to explain some of the basic facts about the questions raised in the title, without the technical details that are available in the literature. We provide a gentle introduction to some rather classical results about…
