Abstract

A central concept in thermodynamics is that of entropy. Thermodynamics has a long history of application in General Relativity this from the point of view of generalizing thermodynamic entropy to relativity, and applications of thermodynamics in the relativistic mechanics of gases and fluids and similarly to matter and energy densities and fields. Other approaches seek to understand geometrical metrics of entropy and similar topological considerations of such measures. As a central concept in thermodynamics is that of entropy, a related approach to equilibrium and beyond that nonequilibrium statistical mechanics as derived from thermodynamics is the maximum entropy method, where the optimal or least biased probability density function is that whose entropy is at a maximum, and under given constraints representing measurable observables. In this letter we discuss some applications of the maximum entropy method to general relativity.
