1月27日(日)に講座勉強会を実施しました。
発表者は片桐奏羽さん。小又志郎さんの発表の時に参加されて、その後も物理関連の話を少し聞いていたのですが、2017年に英語論文を発表されたので、この機会に是非ということで発表していただきました。
当日は中2中3生から高校生、大学生、大学院生も参加し22名が聴講しました。
いくつか動画も公開しています。
レジュメも公開予定です。

Non-equilibrium thermodynamics as gauge fixing
1. Introduction
Onsager’s theory is the most important one in non-equilibrium thermodynamics with linear constitutive equations [1,2], in which constitutive equations for currents are derived from the minimum energy dissipation principle. Later on, this argument was supported by the path-integral representation of the probability distribution [3–7]. Onsager’s theory holds in the case of linear constitutive equations, but it is not well understood in the non-linear case (for the latest research see Refs. [8,9]). Recently, Sugamoto, along with his collaborators, including the present author, pointed out that the thermodynamic force can be viewed as a gauge field (A. Sugamoto, private communication and Ref. [10]).
In this paper we discuss this statement more definitely by means of gauge fixing, and derive a non-linear constitutive equation by adding the free action of the usual electromagnetism.
The paper contains the following sections. In the next section, we review the electromagnetism in a pure gauge as an useful analogy in later discussions. In Sect. 3, non-equilibrium thermodynamics is introduced using a differential form. In Sect. 4, we examine the gauge properties of the thermodynamic force. We extend the thermodynamic force to a thermodynamical gauge field in Sect. 5. In Sect. 6, we discuss this gauge theory in the path-integral method. The final section is devoted to the discussion.
In addition, the paper contains the following appendices. In Appendix A, the meaning of the time dependence of is discussed. In Appendix B, we examine the restriction from the second law of thermodynamics. In Appendix C, we discuss how non-linear effects work in dimensional analysis. In Appendix D, a simple example is derived in our model.

私自身が、様々な先生から受けた恩恵があると思っていまして、コーディネーターとして分野と分野を繋ぐとか、先に学んだ方と後の世代で関心がある年少者やかつて学んだかたとを繋ぐ何かができればと思っています。
自分も何回か担当していますが、
何かの機会がありましたら参加されてください。
