I give a brief account of the way in which thermodynamics and statistical mechanics actually work as contemporary scientific theories, and in particular of what statistical mechanics contributes to th...
Justifying Typicality Measures of Boltzmannian Statistical Mechanics and Dynamical Systems
typicality probability Boltzmann statistical mechanics dynamical systems ergodic epsilon-ergodic translation-continuous translation-close
2016/6/15
A popular view in contemporary Boltzmannian statistical mechanics is to interpret the measures as typicality measures. In dynamical systems theory measures can similarly be interpreted as typicality m...
Probabilities in Statistical Mechanics:What are they?
Statistical mechanics thermodynamics probability chance method of arbitrary functions
2016/5/30
This paper addresses the question of how we should regard the probability distributions introduced into statistical mechanics. It will be argued that it is problematic to take them either as purely on...
Typicality and the Approach to Equilibrium in Boltzmannian Statistical Mechanics
Typicality probability Boltzmann approach to equilibrium non-equilibrium
2009/3/27
Systems prepared in a non-equilibrium state approach, and eventually reach, equilibrium. Why do they do so? An important contemporary version of the Boltzmannian approach to statistical mechanics answ...
Interventionism in Statistical Mechanics: Some Philosophical Remarks
statistical mechanics entropy
2008/4/15
Interventionism is an approach to the foundations of statistical mechanics which says that to explain and predict some of the thermodynamic phenomena we need to take into account the inescapable effec...
This paper explores some connections between competing conceptions of scientific laws on the one hand, and a problem in the foundations of statistical mechanics on the other. I examine two proposals f...
