Nonequilibrium and irreversibility

Published 2013-11-25, updated 2014-05-22Version 4

The booklet contain an overview on selected recent developments in nonequilibrium statistical mechanics and chaos theory: SRB distributions, chaotic hypothesis, fluctuation theorem, proposals for tests and applications to granular materials, fluidodynamics, irreversibility of quasi static processes. In appendices examples of the kind of technical work necessary for actual construction of nonequilibrium stationary states.
