We show that an arbitrary Anosov Gaussian thermostat close to equilibrium has positive entropy poduction unless the external field $E$ has a global potential. The configuration space is allowed to have any dimension and magnetic forces are…
We consider a variation of an Anosov geodesic flow by Gaussian Thermostats and we obtain estimates of the derivative of the entropy map at the geodesic flow. In particular, we prove that the entropy of the geodesic flow is a local maximum…

Casimir entropies due to quantum fluctuations in the interaction between electrical bodies can often be negative, either caused by dissipation or by geometry. Although generally such entropies vanish at zero temperature, consistent with the…
