Temperature in and out of equilibrium: a review of concepts, tools and attempts
A. Puglisi, A. Sarracino, A. Vulpiani
We review the general aspects of the concept of temperature in equilibrium and non-equilibrium statistical mechanics. Although temperature is an old and well-established notion, it…
About thermometers and temperature
M. Baldovin, A. Puglisi, A. Sarracino +1
We discuss a class of mechanical models of thermometers and their minimal requirements to determine the temperature for systems out of the common scope of thermometry. In particula…
Anomalous force-velocity relation of driven inertial tracers in steady laminar flows
F. Cecconi, A. Puglisi, A. Sarracino +1
We study the nonlinear response to an external force of an inertial tracer advected by a two-dimensional incompressible laminar flow and subject to thermal noise. In addition to th…
Compressibility, laws of nature, initial conditions and complexity
Sergio Chibbaro, Angelo Vulpiani
We critically analyse the point of view for which laws of nature are just a mean to compress data. Discussing some basic notions of dynamical systems and information theory, we sho…
Fourier's Law in a Generalized Piston Model
Lorenzo Caprini, Luca Cerino, Alessandro Sarracino +1
A simplified, but non trivial, mechanical model -- gas of particles of mass in a box partitioned by mobile adiabatic walls of mass -- interacting with two thermal b…
