Thermodynamics of an Empty Box
Entropy, 2023 A gas in a box is perhaps the most important model system studied in thermodynamics and statistical mechanics. Usually, studies focus on the gas, whereas the box merely serves as an idealized confinement.

Classical statistical mechanics and Landau damping [PDF]
Physics Letters B, 1997 We study the retarded response function in scalar $ϕ^4$-theory at finite temperature. We find that in the high-temperature limit the imaginary part of the self-energy is given by the classical theory to leading order in the coupling. In particular the plasmon damping rate is a purely classical effect to leading order, as shown by Aarts and Smit.

Philosophia Scientiæ, 2023 After 1850, Laplacian or Amperean molecular physics found itself in competition with other approaches involving thermodynamics and kinetic theories. Henri Poincaré is one of the very few French scientists to have made a significant contribution to the ...

Statistical mechanics of semi-classical colored objects [PDF]
, 1999 A microscopic model of deconfined matter based on color interactions between semi-classical quarks is studied. A hadronization mechanism is imposed to examine the properties and the disassembly of a thermalized quark plasma and to investigate the ...

New trends in nonequilibrium statistical mechanics: classical and quantum systems
, 2020 The main aim of this special issue is to report recent advances and new trends in nonequilibrium statistical mechanics of classical and quantum systems, from both theoretical and experimental points of view, within an interdisciplinary context.

An Introduction to Noncommutative Physics
Physics, 2023 Noncommutativity in physics has a long history, tracing back to classical mechanics. In recent years, many new developments in theoretical physics, and in practical applications rely on different techniques of noncommutative algebras.

Ergodic hypothesis in classical statistical mechanics
Revista Brasileira de Ensino de FísicaAn updated discussion on physical and mathematical aspects of the ergodic hypothesis in classical equilibrium statistical mechanics is presented. Then a practical attitude for the justification of the microcanonical ensemble is indicated.

Entropy, 2018 The Gibbs Paradox is essentially a set of open questions as to how sameness of gases or fluids (or masses, more generally) are to be treated in thermodynamics and statistical mechanics.

Thermodynamics of the System of Distinguishable Particles
Entropy, 2009 The issue of the thermodynamics of a system of distinguishable particles is discussed in this paper. In constructing the statistical mechanics of distinguishable particles from the definition of Boltzmann entropy, it is found that the entropy is not ...
