Stochastic Geometric Mechanics in Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics: Schr\"odinger meets Onsager
Abstract
We are describing relations between Schr\"odinger's variational problem and Onsager's approach to nonequilibrium statistical mechanics. Although the second work on reciprocal relations and detailed balance has been published in the same year (1931) as the first one, the impact of Schr\"odinger's idea has not yet been considered in the classical context of Onsager.
