Irreversibility of time in general relativity [PDF]
Background and Objectives: The equations of classical dynamics of particles and waves admit solutions with the reverse flow of time. Therefore, it is generally assumed that classical dynamics does not reflect the irreversibility of time.

Black-Hole Uncertainty Entails an Intrinsic Time Arrow. a Note on the Hawking-Penrose Controversy [PDF]
Any theory that states that the basic laws of physics are time-symmetric must be strictly deterministic. Only determinism enables time reversal of entropy increase. A contradiction therefore arises between two statements of Hawking.

Comment on `Quantum resolution to the arrow of time dilemma' [PDF]
Recently, a substantial amount of debate has grown up around a proposed quantum resolution to the `arrow of time dilemma' that is based on the role of classical memory records of entropy-decreasing events.

The holographic space-time and black hole remnants as dark matter
The holographic space-time approach to inflation provides a well defined and self-contained framework to study the early universe. Based on a quasi-local quantum gravity theory generalizing string theory beyond AdS backgrounds, it addresses fundamental ...

Entropic Dynamics, Time and Quantum Theory [PDF]
Quantum mechanics is derived as an application of the method of maximum entropy. No appeal is made to any underlying classical action principle whether deterministic or stochastic.

About some Entropy Aspects of Dissipative Systems [PDF]
This paper is aspiring to get a logical explanation on the entropy velocity (i.e. on the entropy acceleration) in a Universe “endowed” with a dissipative system.

Vacuum Structure and the Arrow of Time
We find ourselves in an extended era of entropy production. Unlike most other observations, the arrow of time is usually regarded as a constraint on initial conditions. I argue, however, that it primarily constrains the vacuum structure of the theory.

Irreversibility and the arrow of time in a quenched quantum system [PDF]
Irreversibility is one of the most intriguing concepts in physics. While microscopic physical laws are perfectly reversible, macroscopic average behavior has a preferred direction of time. According to the second law of thermodynamics, this arrow of time

Entropy and Cosmological Arrows of Time
Deutsch and Aguirre have recently shown that the solutions of certain dynamical systems typically contain a point of minimum size that they identify as an entropy minimum and from which the size and entropy increase to infinity in both directions of time.

Entanglement and the Thermodynamic Arrow of Time [PDF]
We discuss quantum entanglement in the context of the thermodynamic arrow of time. We review the role of correlations in entropy-decreasing events and prove that the occurrence of a transformation between two thermodynamic states constitutes a new type ...
