Liouville's Theorem and the canonical measure for nonconservative systems from contact geometry
Alessandro Bravetti, Diego Tapias
Standard statistical mechanics of conservative systems relies on the symplectic geometry of the phase space. This is exploited to derive Hamilton's equations, Liouville's theorem a…

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…

Precision cosmology with Padé rational approximations: theoretical predictions versus observational limits
Alejandro Aviles, Alessandro Bravetti, Salvatore Capozziello +1
We propose a novel approach for parameterizing the luminosity distance, based on the use of rational "Padé" approximations. This new technique extends standard Taylor treatments, o…
