Abstract
In stationary spacetimes global equilibrium states can be defined, applying the maximum entropy principle, by the introduction of local thermodynamic fields determined solely by geometry. As an example, we study a class of equilibrium states for a scalar field in Einstein's static universe, characterized by inhomogeneous thermodynamic properties and nonvanishing angular momentum.
