Abstract

In the context of contact geometry, we investigate one aspect of the symmetry of thermodynamics. If with a thermodynamic system with n degrees of freedom we associate a (2n + 1)-dimensional thermodynamic phase space then we show that the structure group of its tangent bundle can be reduced to the group U(n) × 1.
