Abstract

With respect to the concept of affine tensor, we analyse in this work the underlying geometric structure of the theories of Lie group statistical mechanics and relativistic thermodynamics of continua, formulated by Souriau independently one of each other. We reveal the link between these ones in the classical Galilean context. These geometric structures of the thermodynamics are rich and we think they might be source of inspiration for the geometric theory of information based on the concept of entropy.
