Kappa Entropy and its Thermodynamic Connection

Abstract: Adopting a bottom-up perspective, we propose a novel two-parametric nonadditive entropy, $S_{κ\ell}$, associated with a Kappa-type power-law velocity distribution, $F_{κ\ell}(v)$, recently derived in the literature. By formulating an extended Neo-Boltzmannian microstate counting procedure and employing standard averaging techniques, we demonstrate that the fundamental laws of thermodynamics are preserved within this generalized power-law framework only whether $\ell=-5/2$, regardless of the values assumed by the $κ$-parameter.
