Gravity’s universality: The physics underlying Tolman temperature gradients

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a simple and clear verification of the physical need for temperature gradients in equilibrium states when gravitational fields are present, in a completely kinematic manner, in terms of the gravitational redshift/blueshift of light.
Journal ArticleDOI

Coarse graining Shannon and von Neumann entropies

TL;DR: These explicit models that the current article shall construct allow us to quantify and keep clear track of the entropy that appears when coarse-graining the system, and the information that can be hidden in unobserved correlations.

Generic warp drives violate the null energy condition

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that physically reasonable warp drives will violate the null energy condition, and so also automatically violate the WEC, and both the strong and dominant energy conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multipartite analysis of average-subsystem entropies

TL;DR: The key technical aspect of the calculation is a variant of the "average subsystem" approach developed by Page, which extends beyond bipartite pure systems, to a tripartite pure system that considers the influence of the environment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Entropy bounds for uncollapsed matter

Gabriel Abreu, +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the quasilocal Tolman mass contained within a volume can be reduced to a Gauss-like surface integral involving the flux of a suitably defined generalized surface gravity.
