Energy and entropy: Path from game theory to statistical mechanics

Statistical mechanics is based on the interplay between energy and entropy. Here we formalize this interplay via axiomatic bargaining theory (a branch of cooperative game theory), where entropy and negative energy are represented by utilities of two different players. Game-theoretic axioms provide a...
