Geometry in Thermodynamics

Dear Colleagues,

Some time ago, thermodynamics gained a reputation of being complete, both in its statement of concepts, and in the scope of its application. Yet a number of geometrical approaches have brought new ideas to the field. The aim of this Special Issue on geometry in thermodynamics is to bring a broad range of such ideas together including, but are not restricted to: symplectic geometry, contact geometry, inner product geometry, metric geometry, information geometry, and Legendre invariant geometry.  Applications can include finite-time thermodynamics, fluctuation phenomena, black hole thermodynamics, first and second-order phase transitions, and critical points.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process.
