The question of negative temperatures in thermodynamics and statistical mechanics
The problem of equilibrium processes in thermodynamics
Boltzmann, Gibbs, and the Concept of Equilibrium
The Boltzmann and Gibbs approaches to statistical mechanics have very different definitions of equilibrium and entropy. The problems associated with this are discussed, and it is suggested that they can be resolved, to produce a version of statistical mechanics incorporating both approaches, by redefining equilibrium not as a binary property (being/not being in equilibrium) but as a continuous property (degrees of equilibrium) measured by the Bol…
Boltzmann and Gibbs
Physics from Fisher information
The Work of E. T. Jaynes on Probability, Statistics and Statistical Physics
An important contribution to the foundations of probability theory, statistics and statistical physics has been made by E. T. Jaynes. The recent publication of his collected works provides an appropriate opportunity to attempt an assessment of this contribution.
