Title
"Information Thermodynamics on Causal Networks"
Sosuke Ito (The University of Tokyo)
Abstract
We study nonequilibrium thermodynamics of a system in the presence of a complex information flow induced by multiple other systems. Characterizing nonequilibrium dynamics by a causal networks (i.e. Bayesian network), we obtain novel generalizations of the second law of thermodynamics and the fluctuation theorem, which include informatic terms characterized by the topology of the causal network.
