Gravity as an effective theory
D. Espriu, D. Puigdomenech
Using as inspiration the well known chiral effective lagrangian describing the interactions of pions at low energies, in these lectures we review the quantization procedure of Eins…

Zipf's law from a Fisher variational-principle
A. Hernando, D. Puigdomenech, D. Villuendas +2
Zipf's law is shown to arise as the variational solution of a problem formulated in Fisher's terms. An appropriate minimization process involving Fisher information and scale-invar…

Fisher-based thermodynamics for scale-invariant systems: Zipf's Law as an equilibrium state of a scale-free ideal gas
A. Hernando, D. Puigdomenech, D. Villuendas +1
We present a thermodynamic formulation for scale-invariant systems based on the principle of extreme information. We create an analogy between these systems and the well-known ther…
