Generalized Thermodynamics  

Extended thermodynamics > s.a. particle statistics [fractional].
* In general: Developed as a way out of the paradox of infinite speed of propagation of heat pulses (parabolic heat conduction equation), i.e., to make it consistent with special relativity; The first parabolic equation was obtained in 1948 by Cattaneo, who introduced a relaxation term in th Fourier law, but this led to other problems; There are now two approaches, rational and irreversible.

Relativistic Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics > s.a. heat [conduction]; temperature.
* Status: 2009, The unification of relativity and thermodynamics has long been a subject of considerable debate; The reasons are that (i) Thermodynamic variables are non-local and thus single out a preferred class of hyperplanes in spacetime, and no consensus has been reached on the correct relativistic transformation laws for thermodynamic quantities; (ii) There exist different, seemingly equally plausible ways of defining heat and work in relativistic systems.
* Some approaches: van Kampen covariant theory, Rohrlich proposal, Ares de Parga & López-Carrera [PhyA(07)] proposal.

Quantum Thermodynamics > s.a. complexity; generalized uncertainty principle.
* Idea: 2015, An emerging research field aiming to extend standard thermodynamics and non-equilibrium statistical physics to ensembles of sizes well below the thermodynamic limit, in non-equilibrium situations, and with the full inclusion of quantum effects; Recent efforts in the field have been inspired by quantum information theory and its application to thermodynamic machines with quantum components.
