We examine the Boltzmann/Gibbs/Shannon SBGS​ and the
non-additive Havrda-Charv\'{a}t / Dar\'{o}czy/Cressie-Read/Tsallis \
Sq​ \ and the Kaniadakis κ-entropy \ Sκ​ \
from the viewpoint of coarse-graining, symplectic capacities and convexity. We
argue that the functional form of such entropies can be ascribed to a
discordance in phase-space coarse-graining between two generally different
approaches: the Euclidean/Riemannian metric one that reflects independence and
picks cubes as the fundamental cells and the symplectic/canonical one that
picks spheres/ellipsoids for this role. Our discussion is motivated by and
confined to the behaviour of Hamiltonian systems of many degrees of freedom. We
see that Dvoretzky's theorem provides asymptotic estimates for the minimal
dimension beyond which these two approaches are close to each other. We state
and speculate about the role that dualities may play in this viewpoint.Comment: 63 pages. No figures. Standard LaTe
