On completeness of description of an equilibrium canonical ensemble by reduced s-particle distribution function

Abstract

In this article it is shown that in a classical equilibrium canonical ensemble of molecules with ss-body interaction full Gibbs distribution can be uniquely expressed in terms of a reduced s-particle distribution function. This means that whenever a number of particles NN and a volume VV are fixed the reduced ss-particle distribution function contains as much information about the equilibrium system as the whole canonical Gibbs distribution. The latter is represented as an absolutely convergent power series relative to the reduced ss-particle distribution function. As an example a linear term of this expansion is calculated. It is also shown that reduced distribution functions of order less than ss don't possess such property and, to all appearance, contain not all information about the system under consideration.
