Mechanics is developed over a differentiable manifold as space of possible positions. Time is considered to fill a one--dimensional Riemannian manifold, so having the metric as lapse. Then the system is quantized with covariant instead of partial d...
Professor Chen Ning Yang has made seminal and influential contributions in many different areas in theoretical physics. This talk focuses on his contributions in statistical mechanics, a field in which Professor Yang has held a continual interest for...

In mathematics and classical mechanics, the Poisson bracket is an important binary operation in Hamiltonian mechanics, playing a central role in Hamilton's
The origin of the nonlocal nature of quantum mechanics is investigated in the context of Everett's formulation of quantum mechanics. EPR phenomenon can fully be explained without introducing any kind of decoherence....
In this paper we present a novel approach to the geometric formulation of solid and fluid mechanics within the port-Hamiltonian framework, which extends the standard Hamiltonian formulation to non-conservative and open dynamical systems. Leveraging D...
We show that everyone can understand quantum mechanics, only if he rejects the following prejudice, namely classical continuous motion (CCM) is the only possible and objective motion of particles....
In this paper I present and defend Rovelli's relation quantum mechanics from some foreseeable objections, so as to clarify its philosophical implications vis a vis rival interpretations. In particular I ask whether RQM presupposes a hidden recourse t...
Colloidal particles are distinguishable. Moreover, their thermodynamic properties are extensive. Statistical Mechanics predicts such behaviour if one accepts that the configurational integral of a system of N colloids must be divided by N!. In many t...
We reformulate Classical Mechanics as a timeless relativistic theory. Readers are introduced to a new class of reference systems, the binate frames, where physical events are identified with four position-coordinates -- no clocks are used. The binate...
Starting from the canonical formalism of relativistic (timeless) quantum mechanics, the formulation of timeless path integral is rigorously derived. The transition amplitude is reformulated as the sum, or functional integral, over all possible paths...
The deterministic nature of EQM (the Everett Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics) seems to be inconsistent to the use of probability in EQM, giving rise to what is known as the "incoherence problem". In this paper, I explore approaches to solve the i...
In Interwar France, Henri Villat became the true leader of theoretical researches on fluid mechanics. Most of his original work was done before the First World War; it was highly theoretical and its applicability was questioned. After having organize...
Rejoinder to ``Equi-energy sampler with applications in statistical inference and statistical mechanics'' by Kou, Zhou and Wong [math.ST/0507080]...
Nearing a century since its inception, quantum mechanics is as lively as ever. Its signature manifestations, such as superposition, wave-particle duality, uncertainty principle, entanglement and nonlocality, were long confronted as weird predictions...
Mechanics of materials is a classic course of engineering presenting the fundamentals of strain and stress analysis to junior undergraduate students in several engineering majors. So far, material deformation and strain have been only analyzed using...
Some of the problems connected with the interpretation of quantum mechanics are enumerated, in particular those related to some well known paradoxes and, above all, to the measurement process. We then show how the so called "Physics Laboratory Assump...
**Warning:** This will be a long nerdy post with a lengthy explanation of Herald spawn mechanics, Elite density data, Sunder drop rates, Worldstone Shard drop rates and some theorycrafting for maximiz...
In physics, statistical mechanics is a mathematical framework that applies statistical methods and probability theory to large assemblies of microscopic
We argue that we could make a scenario of deriving quantum mechanics, as a random dynamics project, in the sense of it being almost unavoidable. The basic idea is based on the weak value formulation....
