Efficiency of a thermodynamic motor at maximum power
M. Moreau, B. Gaveau, L. S. Schulman
Several recent theories address the efficiency of a macroscopic thermodynamic motor at maximum power and question the so-called "Curzon-Ahlborn (CA) efficiency." Considering the en…
Clusters from higher order correlations
L. S. Schulman
Given a set of variables and the correlations among them, we develop a method for finding clustering among the variables. The method takes advantage of information implicit in high…
Generalized Clausius relation and power dissipation in non equilibrium stochastic systems
B. Gaveau, M. Moreau, L. S. Schulman
We extend certain basic and general concepts of thermodynamics to discrete Markov systems exchanging work and heat with reservoirs. In this framework we show that the celebrated Cl…
Mean Field Spin Glass in the Observable Representation
L. S. Schulman
The state space for the -spin mean field (SK) spin glass--nominally an -cube--is embedded in a low dimensional continuous space in such a way that metastable and stable phase…
Coarse grains: the emergence of space and order
L. S. Schulman, B. Gaveau
The emergence of macroscopic variables can be effected through {\it coarse graining}. Despite practical and fundamental benefits conveyed by this partitioning of state space, the a…
Resolution of causal paradoxes arising from opposing thermodynamic arrows of time
L. S. Schulman
It was recently shown \cite{opposite} that systems with opposite thermodynamic arrows of time could have moderate mutual interaction with neither destroying the order of the other.…
Schulman Replies
L. S. Schulman
This is a reply to a comment of Casati, Chirikov and Zhirov (PRL 85, 896 (2000)) on PRL 83, 5419 (1999). The suitability of the particlar two-time boundary value problem used in th…
Opposite Thermodynamic Arrows of Time
L. S. Schulman
A model in which two weakly coupled systems maintain opposite running thermodynamic arrows of time is exhibited. Each experiences its own retarded electromagnetic interaction and c…
