Statistical mechanics in the context of special relativity
read the original abstract
In the present effort we show that $S_{\kappa}=-k_B \int d^3p (n^{1+\kappa}-n^{1-\kappa})/(2\kappa)$ is the unique existing entropy obtained by a continuous deformation of the Shannon-Boltzmann entropy $S_0=-k_B \int d^3p n \ln n$ and preserving unaltered its fundamental properties of concavity, additivity and extensivity. Subsequently, we explain the origin of the deformation mechanism introduced by $\kappa$ and show that this deformation emerges naturally within the Einstein special relativity. Furthermore, we extend the theory in order to treat statistical systems in a time dependent and relativistic context. Then, we show that it is possible to determine in a self consistent scheme within the special relativity the values of the free parameter $\kappa$ which results to depend on the light speed $c$ and reduces to zero as $c \to \infty$ recovering in this way the ordinary statistical mechanics and thermodynamics. The novel statistical mechanics constructed starting from the above entropy, preserves unaltered the mathematical and epistemological structure of the ordinary statistical mechanics and is suitable to describe a very large class of experimentally observed phenomena in low and high energy physics and in natural, economic and social sciences. Finally, in order to test the correctness and predictability of the theory, as working example we consider the cosmic rays spectrum, which spans 13 decades in energy and 33 decades in flux, finding a high quality agreement between our predictions and observed data.

Cosmological consequences of scale-dependent Barrow-Tsallis entropy
A scale-dependent Barrow-Tsallis entropy cosmology fits cosmic data but is statistically disfavored versus ΛCDM, with only a modest and partially circular Hubble-tension 'alleviation'.

Observational constraints on Luciano-Saridakis entropic cosmology
First background-level constraints on Luciano-Saridakis entropic cosmology using CC, Pantheon+ with SH0ES, DESI DR2 BAO and compressed Planck data show robust fit, 2sigma exclusion of LambdaCDM, and potential Hubble t...

Modified Cosmology from Mass-to-Horizon Relation: Background Evolution
Generalized horizon-entropy models are cosmologically viable only within a narrow window around the Bekenstein–Hawking area law; all surviving models mimic ΛCDM.

Slow-roll inflation in (dual) Kaniadakis cosmology
The authors derive modified Friedmann equations from Kaniadakis entropy, compute inflationary observables, and find that Planck data require the deformation parameter kappa to be strongly suppressed in the standard ca...

Modified Cosmology from Mass-to-Horizon Relation: Background Evolution
Viable generalized horizon entropies from the mass-to-horizon relation are restricted to a narrow neighborhood around the Bekenstein-Hawking law, yielding only Lambda-CDM-like background evolution.

Constraints on Kaniadakis Cosmology from Starobinsky Inflation and Primordial Tensor Perturbations
Kaniadakis entropic cosmology modifies early-universe dynamics and is constrained by its predictions for Starobinsky inflation and the primordial tensor spectrum using current CMB and gravitational-wave observations.

Hamilton-Jacobi Approach to Inflationary Scenarios through Extended Entropies: An Observational Perspective
Hamilton-Jacobi analysis of slow-roll inflation with non-Bekenstein-Hawking entropies yields fitted entropy parameters (δ≈1.1-1.2, α∼10^{-14}, K∼10^{-17}) consistent with ns and r data.

Ghost Dark Energy in the Modified Kaniadakis Cosmology
Interacting ghost dark energy in Kaniadakis-corrected cosmology mildly shifts acceleration onset and approaches ΛCDM, remaining generally unstable though less so for larger λ.
