赞美克劳修斯熵:重新评估玻尔兹曼统计力学的基础
In Praise of Clausius Entropy: Reassessing the Foundations of Boltzmannian Statistical Mechanics
摘要:
我会和很多同时代的人争论,玻尔兹曼试图把热力学第二定律建立在一个适当修正的确定性时反不变经典动力学基础上,这是有道理的,为了理解什么是正确的,(至少曾经是)玻尔兹曼的解释性项目,人们必须完全理解微观物理因果结构的本质,时间反演不变性,玻尔兹曼熵和鲁道夫克劳修斯的工作之间的关系。
英文摘要:
I will argue, pace a great many of my contemporaries, that there's something right about Boltzmann's attempt to ground the second law of thermodynamics in a suitably amended deterministic time-reversal invariant classical dynamics, and that in order to appreciate what's right about (what was at least at one time) Boltzmann's explanatory project, one has to fully apprehend the nature of microphysical causal structure, time-reversal invariance, and the relationship between Boltzmann entropy and the work of Rudolf Clausius.
