Fluctuation and Inertia
arXiv:1801.10018 · doi:10.1016/j.nuclphysb.2019.114873
Abstract
In this work, using Jacobson's idea: 'Q=TdS hold for all the local Rindler causal horizons through each spacetime point', we found that the transitions between the excited and ground state of a particle in a linear acceleration satisfy the fluctuation theorem. The up transition from the ground state to the excited state is an entropy-decreasing process, which requires an external force to contribute equal entropy increase to satisfy the second law of thermodynamics.
