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…

This work brings together Keldysh non-equilibrium quantum theory and thermodynamics, by showing that a real-time diagrammatic technique is an equivalent of stochastic thermodynamics for non-Markovian quantum machines (heat engines,…

The deterministic and time-reversal symmetric dynamics of isolated quantum systems is at odds with irreversible equilibration observed in generic thermodynamic systems. Standard approaches at a reconciliation employ subjective restrictions…

We provide a stochastic thermodynamic description across scales for $N$ identical units with all-to-all interactions that are driven away from equilibrium by different reservoirs and external forces. We start at the microscopic level with…

This work assembles some basic theoretical elements on thermal equilibrium, stability conditions, and fluctuation theory in self-gravitating systems illustrated with a few examples. Thermodynamics deals with states that have settled down…

Is the evaporation of a black hole described by a unitary theory? In order to shed light on this question ---especially aspects of this question such as a black hole's negative specific heat---we consider the real-time dynamics of a…

The project concerns the interplay among quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics and thermodynamics, in isolated quantum systems. The underlying goal is to improve our understanding of the concept of thermal equilibrium in quantum systems.…

The eigenstate thermalization hypothesis provides to date the most successful description of thermalization in isolated quantum systems by conjecturing statistical properties of matrix elements of typical operators in the (quasi-)energy…

These notes are a written version of lectures given in the 2024 Les Houches Summer School on {\it Large deviations and applications}. They are are based on a series of works published over the last 25 years on steady properties of…

Holographic duality provides a first-principles approach to investigate real time processes in quantum many-body systems, in particular at finite temperature and far-from-equilibrium. We use this approach to study the dynamical evolution of…

We calculate thermal fluctuation properties: volume-averaged order parameter, Helmholtz free and internal energies, and their variances of a supersaturated disordered phase in the Gibbs canonical ensemble for an asymmetric (third-order…

The thermodynamics of hot and dense matter created in heavy-ion collision experiments are usually studied as a system of infinite volume. Here we report on possible effects for considering a finite system size for such matter in the…

We develop a microscopic theory of thermalisation for a thermometer coupled to a many-body bath beyond standard Markovian and Fermi-golden-rule assumptions. By modeling interaction matrix elements in the non-interacting basis as independent…

When we consider classical discrete systems under constant composition, their stable configuration in thermodynamic equilibrium can be typically obtained through the well-known canonica average phi. In configurational thermodynamics, phi as…

We study heat transport in a chain of harmonic oscillators with random elastic collisions between nearest-neighbours. The equations of motion of the covariance matrix are numerically solved for free and fixed boundary conditions. In the…

We consider the classical and quantum dynamics in M(atrix) theory. Using a simple ansatz we show that a classical trajectory exhibits a chaotic motion. We argue that the holographic feature of M(atrix) theory is related with the repulsive…

We derive the Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis (ETH) from a random matrix Hamiltonian by extending the model introduced by J. M. Deutsch [Phys. Rev. A 43, 2046 (1991)]. We approximate the coupling between a subsystem and a many-body…

We study thermodynamics and geometrothermodynamics of a particular black hole configuration with a nonlinear source. We use the mass as fundamental equation, from which it follows that the curvature radius must be considered as a…

The last decade has witnessed the remarkable progress in our understanding of thermalization in isolated quantum systems. Combining the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis with quantum measurement theory, we extend the framework of quantum…

Prethermalization has been extensively studied in systems close to integrability. We propose a more general, yet conceptually simpler, setup for this phenomenon. We consider a---possibly nonintegrable---reference dynamics, weakly perturbed…
