Kinetic Theoretical Foundation of Lorentzian Statistical Mechanics
A new kinetic theory Boltzmann-like collision term including correlations is proposed. In equilibrium it yields the one-particle distribution function in the form of a generalised-Lorentzian resembling but not being identical with the so-called κ distribution frequently found in collisionless turbulent systems like space plasmas. We show that this distribution function satisfies a generalised H...

متن کاملScalar Product Method in Statistical Mechanics of Boundary Tension
The interphase excess free energy a due to an interphase boundary (IPB) is calculated in the Ising model using the Scalar Product (SP) method. Different from the "sum" method calculation of a based on the boundary profile, the SP approach skips the profile and directly evaluates a from the equilibrium properties of the homogeneous phases meeting at the boundary. Using a series of Cluster Variat...
متن کاملStein’s Method for Dependent Random Variables Occurring in Statistical Mechanics
We obtain rates of convergence in limit theorems of partial sums Sn for certain sequences of dependent, identically distributed random variables, which arise naturally in statistical mechanics, in particular, in the context of the Curie-Weiss models. Under appropriate assumptions there exists a real number α, a positive real number μ, and a positive integer k such that (Sn − nα)/n converges wea...
متن کاملKinetic theory of cluster impingement in the framework of statistical mechanics of rigid disks.
Kinetic theory of cluster impingement in the framework of statistical mechanics of rigid disks. Abstract The paper centres on the evaluation of the function n(Θ) = N (Θ)/N0, that is the normalized number of islands as a function of coverage Θ ∈ [0, 1], given N0 initial nucleation centres (dots) having any degree of spatial correlation. A mean field approach has been employed: the islands have t...
