Deriving Tsallis entropy from non-extensive Hamiltonian within a statistical mechanics framework

Statistical Mechanics 2025-03-11 v2

Abstract

The Tsallis entropy, which possesses non-extensive property, is derived from the first principle employing the non-extensive Hamiltonian or the qq-deformed Hamiltonian with the canonical ensemble assumption in statistical mechanics. Here, the qq-algebra and properties of qq-deformed functions are extensively used throughout the derivation. Consequently, the thermodynamic quantities, e.g. internal energy and Helmholtz free energy, are derived and they inheritly exhibit the non-extensiveness. From this intriguing connection between Tasllis entropy and the qq-deformed Hamiltonian, the parameter qq encapsulates the intrinsic degree of non-extensivity for the thermodynamic systems.
