Critical phenomena have been extensively investigated both theoretically and experimentally in many fields, such as condensed matter physics, biology, e.g., brain criticality, and cosmology. In particular, the behaviour of response…
The Gr\"uneisen ratio $\Gamma$, i.e., the singular part of the ratio of thermal expansion to the specific heat, has been broadly employed to explore both finite-$T$ and quantum critical points (QCPs). For a genuine quantum phase transition…
Self-duality is an algebraic structure of certain critical theories, which is not encoded in the scaling dimensions and critical exponents. In this work, a universal thermodynamic signature of self-dual quantum critical points (QCPs) is…
The Gr\"uneisen ratio, defined as $\Gamma_g \equiv (1/T) (\partial T/\partial g)_S$, serves as a highly sensitive probe for detecting quantum critical points (QCPs) driven by an external feild $g$ and for characterizing the magnetocaloric…
In a recent Letter, Zhu et al. [L. Zhu et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 91, 066404 (2003)], obtained the divergence of the Gruneisen ratio close to a quantum critical point (QCP). We show that, in the case the effective dimension associated with…
At a generic quantum critical point, the thermal expansion $\alpha$ is more singular than the specific heat $c_p$. Consequently, the "Gr\"uneisen ratio'', $\GE=\alpha/c_p$, diverges. When scaling applies, $\GE \sim T^{-1/(\nu z)}$ at the…
The Gr\"uneisen ratio ($\Gamma$), i.e.\,the ratio of the linear thermal expansivity to the specific heat at constant pressure, quantifies the degree of anharmonicity of the potential governing the physical properties of a system. While…
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…
The nondivergence of the generalized Gr\"uneisen ratio (GR) at a quantum critical point (QCP) has been proposed to be a universal thermodynamic signature of self-duality. In this work, we study how the Kramers-Wannier-type self-duality…
The thermal expansion coefficient $\alpha$ and the Gr\"{u}neisen parameter $\Gamma$ near the magnetic quantum critical point (QCP) are derived on the basis of the self-consistent renormalization (SCR) theory of spin fluctuation. From the…
Within the seesaw type-I leptogenesis, we formulate $CPT$ and unitarity constraints for the equilibrium reaction rate $CP$ asymmetries and consider thermal mass and quantum statistics. We demonstrate that including higher-order perturbative…
We show that the scenario of multi-scale Kondo breakdown quantum critical point (QCP) gives rise to a divergent Gr\"uneisen ratio with an anomalous exponent 0.7. In particular, we fit the experimental data of…
At any quantum critical point (QCP) with a critical magnetic field $H_c$, the magnetic Gr\"uneisen parameter $\Gamma_{\rm H}$, which equals the adiabatic magnetocaloric effect, is predicted to show characteristic signatures such as a…
Clausius introduced, in the 1860s, a thermodynamical quantity which he named {\it entropy} $S$. This thermodynamically crucial quantity was proposed to be {\it extensive}, i.e., in contemporary terms, $S(N) \propto N$ in the thermodynamic…
We generalize the usual exponential Boltzmann factor to any reasonable and potentially observable distribution function, $B(E)$. By defining generalized logarithms $\Lambda$ as inverses of these distribution functions, we are led to a…
The standard central limit theorem plays a fundamental role in Boltzmann-Gibbs statistical mechanics. This important physical theory has been generalized \cite{Tsallis1988} in 1988 by using the entropy $S_q = \frac{1-\sum_i p_i^q}{q-1}$…
The classic central limit theorem and $\alpha$-stable distributions play a key role in probability theory, and also in Boltzmann-Gibbs (BG) statistical mechanics. They both concern the paradigmatic case of probabilistic independence of the…
Boltzmann-Gibbs statistical mechanics applies satisfactorily to a plethora of systems. It fails however for complex systems generically involving strong space-time entanglement. Its generalization based on nonadditive $q$-entropies…
The Heisenberg uncertainty principle is known to be connected to the entropic uncertainty principle. This correspondence is obtained employing a Gaussian probability distribution for wave functions associated to the Shannon entropy.…
We look at the properties of clusters of order parameter at critical points in thermal systems and consider their significance to statistical-mechanical ground rules. These properties have been previously obtained through the saddle-point…
