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 chapter, we present a straightforward geometrical argument that in a certain way recalls us the equivalence between the canonical and the microcanonical ensembles in the thermodynamic limit for the particular context of physical…
In the present paper we continue our reconsideration about the foundations for a thermostatistical description of the called Hamiltonian nonextensive systems (see in cond-mat/0604290). After reviewing the selfsimilarity concept and the…
We study correlation properties of the generalized elastic model which accounts for the dynamics of polymers, membranes, surfaces and fluctuating interfaces, among others. We develop a theoretical framework which leads to the emergence of…
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…
This paper presents a rigorous treatment of the concept of extensivity in equilibrium thermodynamics from a geometric point of view. This is achieved by endowing the manifold of equilibrium states of a system with a smooth atlas that is…
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…
Present-day thermodynamics has long outgrown the initial frames of the heat-engine theory and transmuted into a rather general macroscopic method for studying kinetics of various transfer processes in their inseparable connection with the…
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…
A new method is proposed for a treatment of ideal quantum gases in the microcanonical ensemble near the thermodynamic limit. The method allows rigorous asymptotic calculations of the average number of particles and particle number…
In biomolecular systems (especially all-atom models) with many degrees of freedom such as proteins and nucleic acids, there exist an astronomically large number of local-minimum-energy states. Conventional simulations in the canonical…
With the help of a general expression of the entropies in extensive and nonextensive systems, some important relations between thermodynamics and statistical mechanics are revealed through the views of thermodynamics and statistic physics.…
In the present paper, the Tsallis statistics in the grand canonical ensemble was reconsidered in a general form. The thermodynamic properties of the nonrelativistic ideal gas of hadrons in the grand canonical ensemble was studied…
Few parameters dependent generalised entropy includes Tsallis entropy, R{\'e}nyi entropy, Sharma-Mittal entropy, Barrow entropy, Kaniadakis entropy, etc as particular representatives. Its relation to physical systems is not always clear. In…
Thermalization of classical fields is investigated in a \phi^4 scalar field theory in 1+1 dimensions, discretized on a lattice. We numerically integrate the classical equations of motion using initial conditions sampled from various…
We establish an analytical criterion for dynamical thermalization within harmonic systems, applicable to both classical and quantum models. Specifically, we prove that thermalization of various observables, such as particle energies in…
It has been proved for a class of mean-field and long-range systems that the concavity of the thermodynamic entropy determines whether the microcanonical and canonical ensembles are equivalent at the level of their equilibrium states, i.e.,…
The appeal of thermodynamics to problems outside physics is undeniable, as is the growing recognition of its apparent universality, yet in the absence of a rigorous formalism divorced from the peculiarities of molecular systems all attempts…
