On the completeness of describing an equilibrium canonical ensemble using a pair distribution function

Statistical Mechanics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

It is shown that in equilibrium a canonical ensemble of particles with two-particle interaction the Gibbs distribution function may be expressed uniquely through a pair distribution function. It means, that for given values of the particle number NN, volume VV, and temperature TT, the pair distribution function contains as many information about the system as a full Gibbs distribution. The latter is represented as a series expansion in the pair distribution function. A recurrence relation system is constructed, which allows all terms of this expansion to be calculated successively.
