Description
Some analogies between nonequilibrium classical statistical mechanics and quantum mechanics, at the level of the Liouville equation and at the kinetic level, are commented on. A theorem, related to the Vlasov equation applied to a plasma, is proved. The theorem presents an analogy with Ehrenfest's theorem of quantum mechanics. An analogy between the plasma kinetic theory and Bohm's quantum theory with 'hidden variables' is also shown. (Author)
Abstract (Portuguese)
Comentam-se algumas analogias entre a mecanica estatistica classica de nao equilibrio e a mecanica quantica, a nivel da equacao de Liouville e a nivel cinetico. Demonstra-se em conexao com a equacao de Vlasov aplicada a um plasma, um teorema analogo ao teorema de Ehrenfest da mecanica quantica. Mostra-se tambem uma analogia entre a teoria cinetica de plasmas e a teoria quantica com parametros ocultos de Bohm. (Autor)Additional details
