Séminaire du PMMH : Constantino Tsallis (CBPF, Brésil)
On the foundations of statistical mechanics : Concepts and applications
Whenever basic hypothesis such as ergodicity are not satisfied, the Boltzmann-Gibbs statistical mechanics, based on the additive Boltzmann-Gibbs entropy, can yield results that are not confirmed by experiments. A more general theory, namely nonextensive statistical mechanics, based on nonadditive entropies, satisfactorily cover a wide class of such anomalous, though ubiquitous, situations in natural, artificial and social systems. A brief review of the present status of this thermostatistical approach will be presented.

The audience is composed of people with rather heterogeneous backgrounds including specialists in solids, fluids, granular flows, statistical physics... so the idea is to keep your talk understandable by people not necessarily working in your field... The seminar time slot runs from 11am to noon so the best is to make the talk last around 45 minutes to leave some time for discussion.
