Fluctuation-Dissipation: Response Theory in Statistical Physics
General aspects of the Fluctuation-Dissipation Relation (FDR), and Response Theory are considered. After analyzing the conceptual and historical relevance of fluctuations in statistical mechanics, we illustrate the relation between the relaxation of spontaneous fluctuations, and the response to an external perturbation. These studies date back to Einstein’s work on Brownian Motion, were continu...
متن کاملStatistical Physics and Information Theory
This is a set of lecture notes for a graduate course, which focuses on the relations between Information Theory and Statistical Physics. The course is aimed at EE graduate students in the area of Communications and Information Theory, as well as to graduate students in Physics who have basic background in Information Theory. Strong emphasis is given to the analogy and parallelism between Inform...
متن کاملStatistical physics of balance theory
Triadic relationships are accepted to play a key role in the dynamics of social and political networks. Building on insights gleaned from balance theory in social network studies and from Boltzmann-Gibbs statistical physics, we propose a model to quantitatively capture the dynamics of the four types of triadic relationships in a network. Central to our model are the triads' incidence rates and ...
متن کاملInformation Theory and Statistical Physics
Relationships between information theory and statistical physics have been recognized over the last few decades. One such aspect is identifying structures of optimization problems pertaining to certain information-theoretic settings and drawing analogy to parallel structures arising in statistical physics, and then borrowing statistical mechanical insights, as well as powerful analysis techniqu...
متن کاملTopics in Statistical Physics and Probability Theory
We discuss some basic facts regarding Gibbs measures on the infinite lattice Zd. Our discussion is restricted to an explicit case with nearest-neighbor interactions but the reader should note that the general theory allows much more flexibility; see Friedli and Velenik [3, Chapter 6] for additional details. Preliminaries. Let (S,S, λ) be a measure space (λ is a positive measure, either finite o...
