Exact Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff formula for the contact Heisenberg algebra
Alessandro Bravetti, Angel Garcia-Chung, Diego Tapias
In this work we introduce the contact Heisenberg algebra which is the restriction of the Jacobi algebra on contact manifolds to the linear and constant functions. We give the exact…
Contact Hamiltonian Mechanics
Alessandro Bravetti, Hans Cruz, Diego Tapias
In this work we introduce contact Hamiltonian mechanics, an extension of symplectic Hamiltonian mechanics, and show that it is a natural candidate for a geometric description of no…
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…
Geometric description of chemical reactions
Hernando Quevedo, Diego Tapias
We use the formalism of Geometrothermodynamics to describe chemical reactions in the context of equilibrium thermodynamics. Any chemical reaction in a closed system is shown to be…
