Gaussian Thermostats as Geodesic Flows of Nonsymmetric Linear Connections
We establish that Gaussian thermostats are geodesic flows of special metric connections. We give sufficient conditions for hyperbolicity of geodesic flows of metric connections in terms of their curvature and torsion.
متن کاملNew observations regarding deterministic, time-reversible thermostats and Gauss's principle of least constraint.
Deterministic thermostats are frequently employed in nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations in order to remove the heat produced irreversibly over the course of such simulations. The simplest thermostat is the Gaussian thermostat, which satisfies Gauss's principle of least constraint and fixes the peculiar kinetic energy. There are of course infinitely many ways to thermostat systems, e....
متن کاملMagnetic flows and Gaussian thermostats on manifolds of negative curvature
We consider a class of flows which includes both magnetic flows and Gaussian thermostats of external fields. We give sufficient conditions for such flows on manifolds of negative sectional curvature to be Anosov. 0. Introduction. The geodesic flow on a Riemannian manifold describes inertial motion of a point particle confined to the manifold. If the manifold has negative sectional curvature we ...
متن کاملThermostats: Analysis and application.
Gaussian isokinetic and isoenergetic deterministic thermostats are reviewed in the correct historical context with their later justification using Gauss' principle of least constraint. The Nose-Hoover thermostat for simulating the canonical ensemble is also developed. For some model systems the Lyapunov exponents satisfy the conjugate pairing rule and a Hamiltonian formulation is obtained. We p...
متن کاملConstruction and Test of Thermostats and Twirlers for Molecular Rotations
The equations of motion are coupled with a dynamical variable, referred to as twirler, which randomizes the angular momentum. The equations are time-reversal invariant, just as those for the standard Gaussian, Nosé-Hoover and configurational thermostats. The derivation of the basic equations is outlined. Test calculations are performed for the two-dimensional isotropic harmonic oscillator and f...
