Dynamical Chaos and Nonequilibrium Statistical Mechanics — •Pierre Gaspard — Center for Nonlinear Phenomena and Complex Systems, C.P. 231 - Campus Plaine; B-1050 Bruxelles; Belgien

Chaos in the motion of atoms and molecules composing fluids is a new topic in nonequilibrium physics. Relationships are established between the characteristic quantities of chaos and the transport coefficients on the fractal repeller of the escape-rate formalism. Moreover, the hydrodynamic modes of relaxation toward the thermodynamic equilibrium as well as the nonequilibrium stationary states turn out to be described by fractal-like singular distributions. This singular character explains the second law of thermodynamics as an emergent property of large chaotic systems.
