Abstract

Finite volume corrections to higher moments are important observable quantities. They make possible to differentiate between different statistical ensembles even in the thermodynamic limit. It is shown that this property is a universal one. The classical grand canonical distribution is compared to the canonical distribution in the rigorous procedure of approaching the thermodynamic limit.
