Speck–Strain conjecture on the relativistic thermodynamic coordinate map
Speck–Strain conjecture on the relativistic thermodynamic coordinate map
Let and denote the particle number density and inverse temperature, respectively, and let be the Boltzmann constant, elementary charge, particle mass, speed of light, and Planck constant. Define and by
where and are the modified Bessel functions of the second kind. Speck–Strain's conjecture. The map
is a diffeomorphism of onto itself. This conjecture concerns the global invertibility of the relativistic thermodynamic variables; the supplied source does not indicate whether it has been resolved.
