We show that the zeroth principle of thermodynamics applies to aging quasistationary states of long-range interacting $N$-body Hamiltonian systems. We also discuss the measurability of the temperature in these out-of-equilibrium states…
We analyze the equilibrium space of an ideal gas using the formalism of geometrothermodynamics. We introduce the concept of thermodynamic geodesics to show that the equilibrium space around a particular initial state can be divided into two…

We study invariant measures and thermodynamic formalism for a class of endomorphisms $F_T$ which are only piecewise differentiable on countably many pieces and non-conformal. The endomorphism $F_T$ has parametrized countably generated limit…
Recently, we have presented some simple arguments supporting the existence of certain complementarity between thermodynamic quantities of temperature and energy, an idea suggested by Bohr and Heinsenberg in the early days of Quantum…
Classical and quantum statistical mechanics are cast here in the language of projective geometry to provide a unified geometrical framework for statistical physics. After reviewing the Hilbert space formulation of classical statistical…

The paper is the first of two parts of the work devoted to the investigation of constructing quantum theory of a closed universe as a system without asynptotic states. In Part I the role of asymptotic states in quantum theory of gravity is…
We develop the convex-analytic structure of the thermodynamic formalism for continuous maps on compact metric spaces. The pressure functional is the Legendre-Fenchel transform of the negative entropy, and the biconjugate recovery of the…
This paper offers a pedestrian guide from the fundamental properties of entropy to the axioms of thermodynamics, which are a consequence of the axiom of statistical physics. It also dismantles flawed concepts, such as assigning physical…
In this work the curvature of Weinhold (thermodynamical) metric is studied in the case of systems with two thermodynamical degrees of freedom. Conditions for the Gauss curvature $R$ to be zero, positive or negative are worked out. Signature…

We consider continuous maps $f:X\to X$ on compact metric spaces admitting inducing schemes of hyperbolic type introduced in [15] as well as the induced maps $\tilde{f}:\tilde{X}\to\tilde{X}$ and the associated tower maps $\hat{f}:\hat{X}…
Motivated by the notion that the mathematics of gravity can be reproduced from a statistical requirement of maximal entropy, we study the consequence of introducing an entropic source term in the Einstein-Hilbert action. For a spatially…
In this paper, we study the properties and thermodynamic stability of the plane symmetry black hole from the viewpoint of geometry. Weinhold metric and Ruppeiner metric are obtained, respectively. The Weinhold curvature gives phase…
We have constructed a nonextensive thermodynamic formalism consisting of two sets of parallel Legendre transformation structures in previous papers. One is the physical set and the other is the Lagrange set. In this paper we study the…
We describe a one-dimensional self-gravitating system derived from the problem of large-scale structure formation in cosmology. Considering small times so that the expansion can be neglected we present a thermodynamical analysis of this…
A general-covariant statistical framework capable of describing classical fluctuations of the gravitational field is a thorny open problem in theoretical physics, yet ultimately necessary to understand the nature of the gravitational…
We examine the dependence of a thermodynamic potential of a fluid on the geometry of its container. If motion invariance, continuity, and additivity of the potential are fulfilled, only four morphometric measures are needed to describe…
