On a geometric mean and power-law statistical distributions [PDF]
arXiv, 2005 For a large class of statistical systems a geometric mean value of the observables is constrained. These observables are characterized by a power-law statistical distribution.

Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Aspects of the modern dynamical systems approach to thermodynamics of stationary states out of equilibrium with attention to the original conceptions which arose at the beginnings of Statistical ...

Legendre transforms of the fundamental thermodynamic relation and statistical ensembles [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 We show how the Legendre transforms of the fundamental thermodynamic relation can be used to introduce different statistical ensembles.

Entropy, Nonequilibrium, Chaos and Infinitesimals [PDF]
arXiv, 2006 A survey of the approach to Statistical Mechanics following Boltzmann's theory of ensembles and ergodic hypothesis leading to chaoticity as a unifying principle of equilibrium and nonequilibrium Statistical Mechanics.

A Field Guide to Recent Work on the Foundations of Statistical Mechanics [PDF]
arXiv, 2008 This is an extensive review of recent work on the foundations of statistical mechanics. Subject matters discussed include: interpretation of probability, typicality, recurrence, reversibility, ergodicity, mixing, coarse graining, past hypothesis, reductionism, phase average, thermodynamic limit, interventionism, entropy.

Three lectures on statistical mechanics [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 These lectures were prepared for the 2014 PCMI graduate summer school and were designed to be a lightweight introduction to statistical mechanics for mathematicians. The applications feature some of the themes of the summer school: sphere packings and tilings.

Deriving Landauer's erasure principle from statistical mechanics [PDF]
arXiv, 2005 We present a concise derivation of Landauer's erasure principle from the postulates of statistical mechanics, along with a small number of additional but uncontroversial axioms.

Theoretical construction of 1D anyon models [PDF]
arXiv, 2007 One-dimensional anyon models are renewedly constructed by using path integral formalism. A statistical interaction term is introduced to realize the anyonic exchange statistics. The quantum mechanics formulation of statistical transmutation is presented.

Conformal Field Theory and Statistical Mechanics [PDF]
arXiv, 2008 The lectures provide a pedagogical introduction to the methods of CFT as applied to two-dimensional critical behaviour.
