The criticality of multiplicative processes
Bernard Gaveau, Marc-Thierry Jaekel, Jacques Maillard +1
Keeping in view applications to numerical simulations of the evolution of a nuclear reactor core around criticality, we use a general mathematical framework for describing the evol…
Relative entropy, interaction energy and the nature of dissipation
B. Gaveau, L. Granger, M. Moreau +1
Many thermodynamic relations involve inequalities, with equality if a process does not involve dissipation. In this article we provide equalities in which the dissipative contribut…
Is ergodicity a reasonable hypothesis?
Bernard Gaveau, Lawrence S. Schulman
In the physics literature "ergodicity" is taken to mean that a system, including a macroscopic one, visits all microscopic states in a relatively short time. We show that this is a…
Dissipation, interaction and relative entropy
B. Gaveau, L. Granger, M. Moreau +1
Many thermodynamic relations involve inequalities, with equality if a process does not involve dissipation. In this article we provide equalities in which the dissipative contribut…
Relative momentum for identical particles
B. Gaveau, L. S. Schulman
Possible definitions for the relative momentum of identical particles are considered.
Violation of the zeroth law of thermodynamics for a non-ergodic interaction
B. Gaveau, L. S. Schulman
The phenomenon described by our title should surprise no one. What may be surprising though is how easy it is to produce a quantum system with this feature; moreover, that system i…
