Abstract

We studied the effects of the nonextensivity on the phase transition for the system of small volume VV in the ϕ4\phi^4 theory in the Tsallis nonextensive statistics of entropic parameter qq and temperature TT, when the deviation from the Boltzmann-Gibbs statistics, q1|q-1|, is small. We calculated the condensate and the mass to the order q1q-1 with the normalized qq-expectation value under the massless free particle approximation. The following facts were found. The condensate Φ\Phi divided by vv, Φ/v\Phi/v, at qq is smaller than that at qq' for q>qq>q' as a function of Tph/vT_{\mathrm{ph}}/v which is the physical temperature TphT_{\mathrm{ph}} divided by vv, where TphT_{\mathrm{ph}} at q=1q=1 coincides with TT and vv is the value of the condensate at T=0T=0. The mass decreases, reaches minimum, and increases after that, as TphT_{\mathrm{ph}} increases. The mass at q>1q>1 is lighter than the mass at q=1q=1 at low physical temperature and heavier than the mass at q=1q=1 at high physical temperature. The effects of the nonentensivity on the physical quantity as a function of TphT_{\mathrm{ph}} become strong as q1|q-1| increases. The results indicate the significance of the definition of the expectation value, the definition of the physical temperature, and the constraints for the density operator, when the terms including the volume of the system are not negligible.
