Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics and Conformal Field Theory
, 2016 We present a model independent, operator algebraic approach to non-equilibrium quantum thermodynamics within the framework of two-dimensional Conformal Field Theory. Two infinite reservoirs in equilibrium at their own temperatures and chemical potentials

Systems, variational principles and interconnections in non-equilibrium thermodynamics [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A, 2023 The paper investigates a systematic approach to modelling in non-equilibrium thermodynamics by focusing upon the notion of interconnections, where we propose a novel Lagrangian variational formulation of such interconnected systems by extending the ...

Non-equilibrium thermodynamics of diffusion in fluctuating potentials [PDF]
Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, 2022 A positive rate of entropy production at steady-state is a distinctive feature of truly non-equilibrium processes. Exact results, while being often limited to simple models, offer a unique opportunity to explore the thermodynamic features of these ...

Contact topology and non-equilibrium thermodynamics [PDF]
Nonlinearity, 2021 We describe a method, based on contact topology, of showing the existence of semi-infinite trajectories of contact Hamiltonian flows which start on one Legendrian submanifold and asymptotically converge to another Legendrian submanifold.

Toward the Relational Formulation of Biological Thermodynamics
Entropy, 2023 Classical thermodynamics employs the state of thermodynamic equilibrium, characterized by maximal disorder of the constituent particles, as the reference frame from which the Second Law is formulated and the definition of entropy is derived.

Non-equilibrium thermodynamics and the free energy principle in biology
Biology & Philosophy, 2021 According to the free energy principle, life is an “inevitable and emergent property of any (ergodic) random dynamical system at non-equilibrium steady state that possesses a Markov blanket” (Friston in J R Soc Interface 10(86):20130475, 2013 ...

Discrete systems in thermal physics and engineering: a glance from non-equilibrium thermodynamics [PDF]
Continuum Mechanics and Thermodynamics, 2020 Non-equilibrium processes in Schottky systems generate by projection onto the equilibrium subspace reversible accompanying processes for which the non-equilibrium variables are functions of the equilibrium ones. The embedding theorem which guarantees the

Thermodynamics of scale-dependent Friedmann equations
European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2021 In this work, the role of a time-varying Newton constant under the scale-dependent approach is investigated in the thermodynamics of the Friedman equations.

Linear stochastic thermodynamics
New Journal of Physics, 2022 We study the thermodynamics of open systems weakly driven out-of-equilibrium by nonconservative and time-dependent forces using the linear regime of stochastic thermodynamics. We make use of conservation laws to identify the potential and nonconservative
