Sommario/riassunto |
|
This volume provides a systematic mathematical exposition of the conceptual problems of nonequilibrium statistical physics, such as entropy production, irreversibility, and ordered phenomena. Markov chains, diffusion processes, and hyperbolic dynamical systems are used as mathematical models of physical systems. A measure-theoretic definition of entropy production rate and its formulae in various cases are given. It vanishes if and only if the stationary system is reversible and in equilibrium. Moreover, in the cases of Markov chains and diffusion processes on manifolds, it can be expressed in terms of circulations on directed cycles. Regarding entropy production fluctuations, the Gallavotti-Cohen fluctuation theorem is rigorously proved. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This collection responds to the critical legacy of Penn R. Szittya, the recently retired former chair of Georgetown UniversityGs English Department. Inspired by GeorgetownGs Lannan Center for Poetics and Social Practice and its statement that poetry Gtraverses the fields of aesthetic, social, political, and religious thought,G this work investigates how medieval poetic language reflects and also shapes social, political, and religious worlds. At a moment in contemporary culture when poetry finds its value increasingly challenged, Medieval Poetics and Social Practice looks to the late Middle Ag |
