This book presents the derivation of the fluctuation theorems with
divergent entropy production and their application to fundamental
problems in statistical physics. It explores the two basic aspects
of the fluctuation theorems: i) Applicability in extreme situations
with divergent entropy production, concluding that the fluctuation
theorems remain valid under the notion of absolute irreversibility,
and ii) utility in the investigation of classical enigmas in the
framework of statistical physics, i.e., Gibbs and Loschmidt
paradoxes. The book offers readers an overview of the research in
fundamental statistical physics. Firstly it briefly but skillfully
reviews the modern development of fluctuation theorems to found the
key theme of the book. Secondly it concisely discusses historical
issues of statistical physics in chronological order, along with
the key literature in the field. They help readers easily follow
the key developments in the fundamental research of statistical
physics.
