Volume entropy

The volume entropy is an asymptotic invariant of a compact Riemannian manifold that measures the exponential growth rate of the volume of metric balls in its universal cover. This concept is closely related with other notions of entropy found in dynamical systems and plays an important role in differential geometry and geometric group theory. If the manifold is nonpositively curved then its volume entropy coincides with the topological entropy of the geodesic flow. It is of considerable interest in differential geometry to find the Riemannian metric on a given smooth manifold which minimizes the volume entropy, with locally symmetric spaces forming a basic class of examples.

Visit http://ilectureonline.com for more math and science lectures! In this video explain and give examples of what is entropy. 1) entropy is a measure of the amount of disorder (randomness) of a system. 2) entropy is a measure of thermodynamic equilibrium. Low entropy implies heat flow t

Entropy production during free expansion of an ideal gas by Subhadip Chakraborti

Abstract: According to the second law, the entropy of an isolated system increases during its evolution from one equilibrium state to another. The free expansion of a gas, on removal of a partition in a box, is an example where we expect to see such an increase of entropy. The constructi

Teach Astronomy - Entropy of the Universe

http://www.teachastronomy.com/ The entropy of the universe is a measure of its disorder or chaos. If the laws of thermodynamics apply to the universe as a whole as they do to individual objects or systems within the universe, then the fate of the universe must be to increase in entropy.

A better description of entropy

I use this stirling engine to explain entropy. Entropy is normally described as a measure of disorder but I don't think that's helpful. Here's a better description. Visit my blog here: http://stevemould.com Follow me on twitter here: http://twitter.com/moulds Buy nerdy maths things here:

Entropy is NOT About Disorder

Entropy is often taught as a measure of how disordered or how mixed up a system is, but this definition never really sat right with me. How is "disorder" defined and why is one way of arranging things any more disordered than another? It wasn't until much later in my physics career that I
