A geometrical approach to thermodynamics

  • 1. Salerno Univ. (Italy). Dip. di Fisica Teorica

Description

Classical thermodynamics are expressed in geometrical form, by means of a metric that naturally arise from Landau's fluctuation theory. Many classical relations appear to be obvious consequences of this metrization. Uncertainty relations, which generalize Landau's ones, bind quantities conjugated in the metric
