Field Theory Entropy, the HH-theorem and the Renormalization Group

We consider entropy and relative entropy in Field theory and establish relevant monotonicity properties with respect to the couplings. The relative entropy in a field theory with a hierarchy of renormalization group fixed points ranks the fixed points, the lowest relative entropy being assigned to the highest multicritical point. We argue that as a consequence of a generalized $H$ theorem Wilsonian RG flows induce an increase in entropy and propose the relative entropy as the natural quantity which increases from one fixed point to another in more than two dimensions.Comment: 25 pages, plain TeX (macros included), 6 ps figures.

The maximum entropy state

We give an algorithm for calculating the maximum entropy state as the least fixed point of a Scott continuous mapping on the domain of classical states in their Bayesian order.Comment: 15 page

Anti-de-Sitter-Maxwell-Yang-Mills black holes thermodynamics from nonlocal observables point of view

In this paper, we analyze the thermodynamic properties of the Anti de Sitter black hole in the Einstein-Maxwell-Yang-Mills-AdS gravity (EMYM) via many approaches and in different thermodynamical ensembles (canonical/ grand canonical). First, we give a concise overview of this phase structure in the entropy-thermal diagram for fixed charges then we investigate this thermodynamical structure in fixed potentials ensemble. The Next relevant step is recalling the nonlocal observables such as holographic entanglement entropy and two-point correlation function to show that both observables exhibit a Van der Waals-like behavior in our numerical accuracy and just near the critical line as the case of the thermal entropy for fixed charges by checking Maxwell's equal area law and the critical exponent. In the light of the grand canonical ensemble, we also find a newly phase structure for such a black hole where the critical behavior disappears in the thermal picture as well as in the holographic one.Comment: 23 pages, 9 figures, Advances in High Energy Physics accepted versio
