The nonextensive statistical ensembles are revisited for the complex systems with long-range interactions and long-range correlations. An approximation, the value of nonextensive parameter (1-q) is assumed to be very tiny, is adopted for…

Generalizing the group structure of the Euclidean space, we construct a Riemannian metric on the deformed set \ $\mathbb{R}^n_q$ \ induced by the Tsallis entropy composition property. We show that the Tsallis entropy is a "hyperbolic…

It is argued that the factorization of compound probability over subsystems is a consequence of the existence of thermodynamic equilibrium in the composite system having Tsallis entropy. So it should be respected by all exact calculations…

The non-extensive canonical ensemble theory is reconsidered with the method of Lagrange multipliers by maximizing Tsallis entropy, with the constraint that the normalized term of Tsallis' $q-$average of physical quantities, the sum $\sum…

The critique against using Boltzmann's microcanonical entropy, an "ensemble measure", as foundation of statistics is rebuffed. The confusion of the microcanonical distribution with the exponential Boltzmann-Gibbs (``BG'') distribution is…

This work explores connections between the quantum relative entropy of two faithful states $\rho,\sigma$ (i.e. full-rank density matrices) and the Kullback-Leibler divergences of classical measures $\mu,\nu$. Here, $\mu$ and $\nu$ are…

We prove a quantitative form of the celebrated Ball's theorem on cube slicing in $\mathbb{R}^n$ and obtain, as a consequence, equality cases in the min-entropy power inequality. Independently, we also give a quantitative form of…
