Combinatorics and Statistical Mechanics of Integer Partitions [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy, 2023
We study the set of integer partitions as a probability space that generates distributions and, in the asymptotic limit, obeys thermodynamics. We view ordered integer partition as a configuration of cluster masses and associate them with the distribution

Statistical mechanics of money [PDF]

open access: yesThe 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 ...

Statistical mechanics of biomolecular condensates via cavity methods [PDF]

open access: yesiScience, 2023
Summary: Physical mechanisms of phase separation in living systems play key physiological roles and have recently been the focus of intensive studies. The strongly heterogeneous nature of such phenomena poses difficult modeling challenges that require ...

Interventionism in Statistical Mechanics [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy, 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.

Open Problems within Nonextensive Statistical Mechanics [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy
Nonextensive statistical mechanics has developed into an important framework for modeling the thermodynamics of complex systems and the information of complex signals.

Statistical Mechanics of Thin Spherical Shells

open access: yesPhysical Review X, 2017
We explore how thermal fluctuations affect the mechanics of thin amorphous spherical shells. In flat membranes with a shear modulus, thermal fluctuations increase the bending rigidity and reduce the in-plane elastic moduli in a scale-dependent fashion ...

The Smoluchowski Ensemble—Statistical Mechanics of Aggregation [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy, 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 ...
