Emergent second law for non-equilibrium steady states
Nature Communications, 2022 Contrary to states of thermal equilibrium, there is no universal characterization of non-equilibrium steady states displaying constant flows of energy and/or matter.

Linear response in large deviations theory: a method to compute non-equilibrium distributions
New Journal of Physics, 2021 We consider thermodynamically consistent autonomous Markov jump processes displaying a macroscopic limit in which the logarithm of the probability distribution is proportional to a scale-independent rate function (i.e.

Setting Boundaries for Statistical Mechanics
Molecules, 2022 Statistical mechanics has grown without bounds in space. Statistical mechanics of noninteracting point particles in an unbounded perfect gas is widely used to describe liquids like concentrated salt solutions of life and electrochemical technology ...

Statistical Mechanics of Political Polarization
Entropy, 2022 Rapidly increasing political polarization threatens democracies around the world. Scholars from several disciplines are assessing and modeling polarization antecedents, processes, and consequences. Social systems are complex and networked. Their constant

Thermodynamics of non-elementary chemical reaction networks
New Journal of Physics, 2020 We develop a thermodynamic framework for closed and open chemical networks applicable to non-elementary reactions that do not need to obey mass action kinetics.

Stochastic thermodynamics of all-to-all interacting many-body systems
New Journal of Physics, 2020 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.

Noether’s theorem in statistical mechanics
Communications Physics, 2021 Noether’s Theorem relates symmetries to fundamental physical laws. Rather than applying the concept to an action integral in order to obtain conservation laws, here the authors consider Statistical Mechanical objects, such as the free energy and density ...

Rényi Entropy in Statistical Mechanics
Entropy, 2022 Rényi entropy was originally introduced in the field of information theory as a parametric relaxation of Shannon (in physics, Boltzmann–Gibbs) entropy. This has also fuelled different attempts to generalise statistical mechanics, although mostly skipping
