AbstractCanonical statistical mechanics hinges on two quantities, i. e., state degeneracy and the Boltzmann factor, the latter of which usually dominates thermodynamic behaviors. A recently identified phenomenon (supradegeneracy) reverses this order of dominance and predicts effects for equilibrium that are normally associated with non-equilibrium, including population inversion and steady-state particle and energy currents. This study examines two thermodynamic paradoxes that arise from supradegeneracy and proposes laboratory experiments by which they might be resolved.

In this paper, the author considers the motion of a relativistic perfect fluid with self-interaction mediated by Nordström's scalar theory of gravity. The evolution of the fluid is determined by a quasilinear hyperbolic system of PDEs, and a cosmological constant is introduced in order to ensure the existence of nonzero constant solutions. Accordingly, the initial value problem for a compact perturbation of an infinitely extended quiet fluid is studied. Although the system is neither symmetric hyperbolic nor strictly hyperbolic, Christodoulou's constructive results on the existence of energy currents for equations derivable from a Lagrangian can be adapted to provide energy currents that can be used in place of the standard energy principle available for first-order symmetric hyperbolic systems. After providing such energy currents, the author uses them to prove that the Euler–Nordström system with a cosmological constant is well-posed in a suitable Sobolev space.
