Derivation of a Relativistic Boltzmann Distribution

Abstract

A framework for relativistic thermodynamics and statistical physics is built by first exploiting the symmetries between energy and momentum in the derivation of the Boltzmann distribution, then using Einstein's energy-momentum relationship to derive a PDE for the partition function. It is shown that the extended Boltzmann distribution implies the existence of an inverse four-temperature, while the form of the partition function PDE implies the existence of a quantizable field theory of classical statistics, with hints of an associated gravity like gauge theory. An adaptation of the framework is then used to derive a thermodynamic certainty relationship.
