Contact symmetries and Hamiltonian thermodynamics

A Bravetti, CS Lopez-Monsalvo, F Nettel - Annals of Physics, 2015 - Elsevier
It has been shown that contact geometry is the proper framework underlying classical
thermodynamics and that thermodynamic fluctuations are captured by an additional metric …

Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton phantom black holes: Thermodynamics and geometrothermodynamics

H Quevedo, MN Quevedo, A Sánchez - Physical Review D, 2016 - APS
We use the Legendre-invariant formalism of geometrothermodynamics to investigate the
geometric properties of the equilibrium space of a spherically symmetric phantom black hole …

Relativistic like structure of classical thermodynamics

H Quevedo, A Sánchez, A Vázquez - General Relativity and Gravitation, 2015 - Springer

Contact polarizations and associated metrics in geometric thermodynamics

CS Lopez-Monsalvo, F Nettel… - Journal of Physics A …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
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 …

The physical significance of geometrothermodynamic metrics

V Pineda, H Quevedo, MN Quevedo… - … Journal of Geometric …, 2019 - World Scientific
In geometrothermodynamics (GTD), to study the geometric properties of the equilibrium
space, three thermodynamic metrics have been proposed so far. These metrics are obtained …

Light propagation through optical media using metric contact geometry

D García-Peláez, CS López-Monsalvo… - Journal of Mathematical …, 2022 - pubs.aip.org
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 medium …

Hamiltonian thermodynamics in the extended phase space: a unifying theory for non-linear molecular dynamics and classical thermodynamics

SC Farantos - Journal of Mathematical Chemistry, 2020 - Springer
The Hamiltonian theory of thermodynamics for reversible and irreversible processes is
presented in detail. Particularly, it is demonstrated that non-linear molecular dynamics and …

[HTML][HTML] Thermodynamic geometry for a non-extensive ideal gas

JL López, O Obregón, J Torres-Arenas - Physics Letters A, 2018 - Elsevier
