Geometric variations of the Boltzmann entropy

Nikos Kalogeropoulos

Published 2008-04-22Version 1

We perform a calculation of the first and second order infinitesimal variations, with respect to energy, of the Boltzmann entropy of constant energy hypersurfaces of a system with a finite number of degrees of freedom. We comment on the stability interpretation of the second variation in this framework.
