Archetypal Model of Entropy by Poisson Cohomology as Invariant Casimir Function in Coadjoint Representation and Geometric Fourier Heat Equation

Abstract

AbstractIn 1969, Jean-Marie Souriau introduced a “Lie Groups Thermodynamics” in the framework of Symplectic model of Statistical Mechanics. Based on this model, we will introduce a geometric characterization of Entropy as a generalized Casimir invariant function in coadjoint representation, where Souriau cocycle is a measure of the lack of equivariance of the moment mapping. The dual space of the Lie algebra foliates into coadjoint orbits that are also the level sets on the entropy that could be interpreted in the framework of Thermodynamics by the fact that motion remaining on these surfaces is non-dissipative, whereas motion transversal to these surfaces is dissipative. We will also explain the 2nd Principle in thermodynamics by definite positiveness of Souriau tensor extending the Koszul-Fisher metric from Information Geometry, and introduce a new geometric Fourier heat equation with Souriau-Koszul-Fisher tensor. In conclusion, Entropy as Casimir function is characterized by Koszul Poisson Cohomology.KeywordsSymplectic geometryCasimir functionEntropyLie groups thermodynamicsKoszul-Fisher metricHeat equationPoisson cohomology
