A Hamilton-Jacobi Formalism for Thermodynamics
S. G. Rajeev
We show that classical thermodynamics has a formulation in terms of Hamilton-Jacobi theory, analogous to mechanics. Even though the thermodynamic variables come in conjugate pairs…
Fuzzy Fluid Mechanics in Three Dimensions
S. G. Rajeev
We introduce a rotation invariant short distance cut-off in the theory of an ideal fluid in three space dimensions, by requiring momenta to take values in a sphere. This leads to a…
Quantization of Contact Manifolds and Thermodynamics
S. G. Rajeev
The physical variables of classical thermodynamics occur in conjugate pairs such as pressure/volume, entropy/temperature, chemical potential/particle number. Nevertheless, and unli…
Dissipative Mechanics Using Complex-Valued Hamiltonians
S. G. Rajeev
We show that a large class of dissipative systems can be brought to a canonical form by introducing complex co-ordinates in phase space and a complex-valued hamiltonian. A naive ca…
