Coarse-graining and symplectic non-squeezing

Abstract

We address aspects of coarse-graining in classical Statistical Physics from the viewpoint of the symplectic non-squeezing theorem. We make some comments regarding the implications of the symplectic non-squeezing theorem for the BBGKY hierarchy. We also see the cubic cells appearing in coarse-graining as a direct consequence of the uniqueness of Hofer’s metric on the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of the phase space.
