J un 1 99 9 A Phase Space Approach to Gravitational Entropy
We examine the definition S = lnΩ as a candidate function for “gravitational entropy.” We calculate its behavior for gravitational and density perturbations in closed, open and flat cosmological models and find that in all cases it increases monotonically. We are also able to calculate the entropy density of gravitational radiation produced by inflation. We compare the results with the behavior...
متن کاملA Phase Space Approach to the Gravitational Arrow of Time
As the universe evolves, it becomes more inhomogeneous due to gravitational clumping. We attempt to find a function that characterizes this behavior and increases monotonically as inhomogeneity increases. We choose S = ln Ω as the candidate “gravitational entropy” function, where Ω is the phase-space volume below the Hamiltonian H of the system under consideration. We perform a direct calculati...
متن کاملA local approach to the entropy of countable fuzzy partitions
This paper denes and investigates the ergodic proper-ties of the entropy of a countable partition of a fuzzy dynamical sys-tem at different points of the state space. It ultimately introducesthe local fuzzy entropy of a fuzzy dynamical system and proves itto be an isomorphism invariant.
متن کاملA Phase Space Approach to Minimax Entropy Learning and the Minutemax Approximations
A.L.Yuille Smith-Kettlewell Inst. San Francisco, CA 94115 There has been much recent work on measuring image statistics and on learning probability distributions on images. We observe that the mapping from images to statistics is many-to-one and show it can be quantified by a phase space factor. This phase space approach throws light on the Minimax Entropy technique for learning Gibbs distribut...
متن کاملMetric and Curvature in Gravitational Phase Space
At a fixed point in spacetime (say, x0), gravitational phase space consists of the space of symmetric matrices {F ab} [corresponding to the canonical momentum π(x0)] and of symmetric matrices {Gab} [corresponding to the canonical metric gab(x0)], where 1 ≤ a, b ≤ n, and, crucially, the matrix {Gab} is necessarily positive definite, i.e. ∑ uGabu b > 0 whenever ∑ (ua)2 > 0. In an alternative quan...
