Emergence of Tsallis statistics as a consequence of invariance

Statistical Mechanics 2019-08-23 v2

Abstract

For non-equilibrium systems in a steady state we present two necessary and sufficient conditions for the emergence of qq-canonical ensembles, also known as Tsallis statistics. These conditions are invariance requirements over the definition of subsystem and environment, and over the joint rescaling of temperature and energy. Our approach is independent of, but complementary to, the notions of Tsallis non-extensive statistics and Superstatistics.
