A statistical mechanical problem? [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2014 The problem of deriving the processes of perception and cognition or the modes of behavior from states of the brain appears to be unsolvable in view of the huge numbers of elements involved. However, neural activities are not random, nor independent, but constrained to form spatio-temporal patterns, and thanks to these restrictions, which in turn are ...

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.

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 ...

From Relativistic Mechanics towards Relativistic Statistical Mechanics
Entropy, 2017 Till now, kinetic theory and statistical mechanics of either free or interacting point particles were well defined only in non-relativistic inertial frames in the absence of the long-range inertial forces present in accelerated frames.

Geometrization of statistical mechanics
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 1999 Classical and quantum statistical mechanics are cast here in the language of projective geometry to provide a unified geometrical framework for statistical physics. After reviewing the Hilbert space formulation of classical statistical thermodynamics, we introduce projective geometry as a basis for analysing probabilistic aspects of statistical physics.

Thermodynamic efficiency in dissipative chemistry
Nature Communications, 2019 Open chemical systems operate out of equilibrium, providing more opportunities than closed systems, but a theoretical framework to describe their performance is lacking. Here, the authors assess the efficiency of two classes of dissipative processes with

Fractional statistical mechanics [PDF]
Chaos: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Nonlinear Science, 2006 The Liouville and first Bogoliubov hierarchy equations with derivatives of noninteger order are derived. The fractional Liouville equation is obtained from the conservation of probability to find a system in a fractional volume element. This equation is used to obtain Bogoliubov hierarchy and fractional kinetic equations with fractional derivatives ...
