abstract

We present a theoretical framework for non-equilibrium thermodynamics, termed Nambu Non-equilibrium Thermodynamics (NNET), which unifies reversible dynamics described by the Nambu bracket and irreversible processes driven by entropy gradients. The formulation provides a covariant description of systems far from equilibrium, where entropy may transiently decrease as a result of reversible circulations or exchanges with the surroundings, extending the applicability of conventional thermodynamic formalisms. As an illustrative example, a triangular chemical reaction system is analyzed. It is shown that, without assuming detailed balance or linearity, two geometric structures that behave as conserved quantities in the reversible limit naturally emerge: one associated with cyclic symmetry in the reaction space, and another that vanishes under symmetric reaction rates. These results demonstrate that NNET provides a unified and covariant formulation for describing both cyclic dynamics and dissipative processes within a single theoretical structure.

A Gauge-Theoretic Formulation of Nambu Non-equilibrium Thermodynamics

cond-mat.stat-mech · 2026-06-20 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

A gauge-theoretic reformulation of Nambu non-equilibrium thermodynamics identifies thermodynamic potentials as gauge fields, with curvature corresponding to irreversibility and specific terms recovering Onsager and NNET frameworks.
