Semiclassical Statistical Mechanics [PDF]
AIP Conference Proceedings, 1997 We use a semiclassical approximation to derive the partition function for an arbitrary potential in one-dimensional Quantum Statistical Mechanics, which we view as an example of finite temperature scalar Field Theory at a point.

Statistical mechanics of money [PDF]
The European Physical Journal B, 2000 In a closed economic system, money is conserved. Thus, by analogy with energy, the equilibrium probability distribution of money must follow the exponential Gibbs law characterized by an effective temperature equal to the average amount of money per ...

Boosted Statistical Mechanics [PDF]
International Journal of Theoretical Physics, 2015 Based on the fundamental principles of Relativistic Quantum Mechanics, we give a rigorous, but completely elementary, proof of the relation between fundamental observables of a statistical system when measured relatively to two inertial reference frames,

Interventionism in Statistical Mechanics [PDF]
Entropy, 2012 I defend the idea that the fact that no system is entirely isolated (“Interventionism”) can be used to explain the successful use of the microcanonical distribution in statistical mechanics.

The Smoluchowski Ensemble—Statistical Mechanics of Aggregation [PDF]
Entropy, 2020 We present a rigorous thermodynamic treatment of irreversible binary aggregation. We construct the Smoluchowski ensemble as the set of discrete finite distributions that are reached in fixed number of merging events and define a probability measure on ...

Statistical Mechanics of Pluripotency [PDF]
Cell, 2013 Recent reports using single-cell profiling have indicated a remarkably dynamic view of pluripotent stem cell identity. Here, we argue that the pluripotent state is not well defined at the single-cell level but rather is a statistical property of stem cell populations, amenable to analysis using the tools of statistical mechanics and information theory.

Emergent second law for non-equilibrium steady states
Nature Communications, 2022 Contrary to states of thermal equilibrium, there is no universal characterization of non-equilibrium steady states displaying constant flows of energy and/or matter.
