This may be a crucial step in establishing a firm connection between macroscopic thermodynamics and microscopic quantum dynamics. For special models introduced in [4,5], the derivation of the maximum work principle can be executed without introducing any unproved assumptions.8 pages, no figuresStatistical Mechanicstext
