Thermostats, chaos and Onsager reciprocity
Giovanni Gallavotti
Finite thermostats are studied in the context of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics. Entropy production rate has been identified with the mechanical quantity expressed by the pha…

Fluctuation Theorem and Chaos
Giovanni Gallavotti
The heat theorem (i.e. the second law of thermodynamics or the existence of entropy) is a manifestation of a general property of hamiltonian mechanics and of the ergodic Hypothesis…
