Characterisation of gradient flows for a given functional
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: Let be a vector field and be a co-vector field on a smooth manifold . Does there exist a smooth Riemannian metric on such that ? The main result of this note gives necessary and sufficient conditions for this to be true. As an application of this result we show that a finite-dimensional ergodic Lindblad equation admits a gradient flow structure for the von Neumann relative entropy if and only if the condition of BKM-detailed balance holds.
