  1. q-Legendre transformation: partition functions and quantization of the Boltzmann constant.

    Authors: Artur E. Ruuge, Freddy van Oystaeyen
    Subjects: Quantum Algebra
    Abstract

    In this paper we construct a q-analogue of the Legendre transformation, where
    q is a matrix of formal variables defining the phase space braidings between
    the coordinates and momenta (the extensive and intensive thermodynamic
    observables). Our approach is based on an analogy between the semiclassical
    wave functions in quantum mechanics and the quasithermodynamic partition
    functions in statistical physics. The basic idea is to go from the
    q-Hamilton-Jacobi equation in mechanics to the q-Legendre transformation in
    thermodynamics.

  2. Distortion of the Poisson Bracket by Noncommutative Planck Constants.

    Subjects: Mathematical Physics
    Abstract

    In this paper we study the possibility to $q$-generalize the Poisson bracket
    (where $q = (q_{i, j})$ is a matrix of formal variables) based on the idea to
    introduce a collection of `$q$-Planck constants' and to motivate the
    corresponding construction by the semiclassical approximation of quantum
    theory.
