THERMODYNAMIC EQUILIBRIUM FOR RELATIVISTIC MACRO SYSTEMS
The definitions of thermodynamic equilibrium in general relativistic curved space-time background are presented respectively by use of relativistic hydrodynamics,kinetic theo-ry and stochastic thermodynamics.The connections and differences between these definitions are also discussed.In particular,the equilibrium states defined via first order hydrodynamics can be unstable,whereas those defined via kinetic theory are always stable.
