Dynamical scenario for nonextensive statistical mechanics

چکیده

Statistical mechanics can only be ultimately justified in terms of microscopic dynamics (classical, quantum, relativistic, or any other). It is known that Boltzmann-Gibbs statistics is based on the hypothesis of exponential sensitivity to the initial conditions , mixing and ergodicity in Gibbs Γ-space. What are the corresponding hypothesis for nonextensive statistical mechanics? A scenario for answering such question is advanced, which naturally includes the a priori determination of the entropic index q, as well as its cause and manifestations, for say many-body Hamiltonian systems, in (i) sensitivity to the initial conditions in Gibbs Γ-space, (ii) relaxation of macroscopic quantities towards their values in anomalous stationary states that differ from the usual thermal equilibrium (e.g., in some classes of metastable or quasi-stationary states), and (iii) energy distribution in the Γ-space for the same anomalous stationary states.

Generalized statistical mechanics and fully developed turbulence

The statistical properties of fully developed hydrodynamic turbulence can be successfully described using methods from nonextensive statistical mechanics. The predicted probability densities and scaling exponents precisely coincide with what is measured in various turbulence experiments. As a dynamical basis for nonextensive behaviour we consider nonlinear Langevin equations with fluctuating fr...

Nonstandard entropy production in the standard map

We investigate the time evolution of the entropy for a paradigmatic conservative dynamical system, the standard map, for different values of its controlling parameter a. When the phase space is sufficiently “chaotic” (i.e., for large |a|), we reproduce previous results. For small values of |a|, when the phase space becomes an intricate structure with the coexistence of chaotic and regular regio...

Field - Theoretical Methods and Nonextensive Systems

The Boltzmann-Gibbs statistical mechanics and the standard thermodynamics are very useful in the discussion of extensive systems. However, they are not good to study situations where nonextensive e ects occur, for instance, systems involving long-range interactions (e. g., d = 3 gravitation)[1, 2], long-range microscopic memory[3], and systems with a relevant (multi)fractal-like structure. On t...

Mixing and equilibration: Protagonists in the scene of nonextensive statistical mechanics

After a brief review of the present status of nonextensive statistical mechanics, we present a conjectural scenario where mixing (characterized by the entropic index qmix ≤ 1) and equilibration (characterized by the entropic index qeq ≥ 1) play central and inter-related roles, and appear to determine a priori the values of the relevant indices of the formalism. Boltzmann-Gibbs statistical mecha...
