A problem of the equivalence of statistical ensembles is critically analyzed. It is shown, that although different probability distributions of statistical physics have the same behavior in the thermodynamic limit, there are physical…

We introduce a simple model of hard spheres with gravitational interactions, for which we study a suitable scaling limit. Usual extensive properties are maintained notwithstanding the long range of gravitational interaction. We show that a…

A thermodynamic expression for the analog of the canonical ensemble for nonequilibrium systems is described based on a purely information theoretical interpretation of entropy. As an application, it is shown that this nonequilibrium…

In this paper, we consider the volume enclosed by the microcanonical ensemble in phase space as a statistical ensemble. This can be interpreted as an intermediate image between the microcanonical and the canonical pictures. By maintaining…

We compute the internal energy of different Ising type models, both long-range and short-range, under Tsallis statistics using the microcanonical and the canonical ensembles and we discuss under which conditions both ensembles give…

Microcanonical description is characterized by the presence of an internal symmetry closely related with the dynamical origin of this ensemble: the reparametrization invariance. Such symmetry possibilities the development of a non…
