How Much Geometry Does Newtonian Dynamics Fix?
C S López-Monsalvo
Newtonian mechanics is usually written on a spacetime of fixed geometry. Here we build that geometry, introducing a propagator and a bilinear form only as the description demands.…
Light propagation through optical media using metric contact geometry
D. García-Peláez, C. S. López-Monsalvo, A. Rubio Ponce
In this work, we show that the orthogonality between rays and fronts of light propagation in a medium is expressed in terms of a suitable metric contact structure of the optical me…
Contact polarizations and associated metrics in geometric thermodynamics
C. S Lopez-Monsalvo, F. Nettel, V. Pineda-Reyes +1
In this work we show that a Legendre transformation is nothing but a mere change of contact polarization from the point of view of contact geometry. Then, we construct a set of Rie…
Conformal Gauge Transformations in Thermodynamics
A. Bravetti, C. S. Lopez-Monsalvo, F. Nettel
In this work we consider conformal gauge transformations of the geometric structure of thermodynamic fluctuation theory. In particular, we show that the Thermodynamic Phase Space i…
Contact Symmetries and Hamiltonian Thermodynamics
A. Bravetti, C. S. Lopez-Monsalvo, F. Nettel
It has been shown that contact geometry is the proper framework underlying classical thermodynamics and that thermodynamic fluctuations are captured by an additional metric structu…
Para-Sasakian geometry in thermodynamic fluctuation theory
A. Bravetti, C. S. Lopez-Monsalvo
In this work we tie concepts derived from statistical mechanics, information theory and contact Riemannian geometry within a single consistent formalism for thermodynamic fluctuati…
