Comment on “ Nonextensive hamiltonian systems follow Boltzmann ’ s principle not Tsallis statistics - phase transition , second law of thermodynamics ” by Gross

چکیده
Recently, Gross claims that Boltzmann entropy S = k lnW is valid for any system at equilibrium, so that Tsallis entropy is useless in this case. I comment on some arguments forwarded to reach this conclusion and argue that the additive energy formalism dominating nonextensive statistics is not appropriate for the fundamental study of the theory for nonadditive systems. PACS : 02.50.-r, 05.20.-y, 05.30.-d,05.70.-a In his recent papers[1, 2, 3], Gross wrote “Boltzmann entropy is well defined, ...independently whether it is extensive or not... the eventual nonextensivity of Hamiltonian systems does not demand any exotic entropy at equilibrium”, “there is no alternative to the microcanonical Boltzmann statistics and to our geometrical foundation of equilibrium statistics”, “Therefore, for closed Hamiltonian many-body systems at statistical equilibrium, extensive or not, the thermo-statistical behavior is entirely controlled by Boltzmann’s principle...” and “nonextensive Hamiltonian systems do not demand a new entropy formalism like that by Tsallis”.

متن کاملHamiltonian systems follow Boltz - mann ’ s principle not Tsallis statistics . – Phase Transitions , Second Law of Thermodynamics
Boltzmann's principle S(E, N, V) = k ln W (E, N, V) relates the entropy to the geometric area e S(E,N,V) of the manifold of constant energy in the N-body phase space. From the principle all thermo-dynamics and especially all phenomena of phase transitions and critical phenomena can be deduced. The topology of the curvature matrix C(E, N) (Hessian) of S(E, N) determines regions of pure phases, r...
متن کاملA Comment on Nonextensive Statistical Mechanics
There is a conception that Boltzmann-Gibbs statistics cannot yield the long tail distribution. This is the justification for the intensive research of nonextensive entropies (i.e. Tsallis entropy and others). Here the error that caused this misconception is explained and it is shown that a long tail distribution exists in equilibrium thermodynamics for more than a century.

Equilibrium statistics of Hamiltonian systems is correctly described by the microcanonical ensemble. Classically this is the manifold of all points in the N −body phase space with the given total energy. Due to Boltzmann's principle, e S = tr(δ(E −H)), its geometrical size is related to the entropy S(E, N, · · ·). This definition does not invoke any information theory, no thermodynamic limit, n...
متن کامل0 Remark on the Second Principle of Thermodynamics
All presently available results lead to the conclusion that nonextensivity, in the sense of nonextensive statistical mechanics (i.e., q = 1), does not modify anything to the second principle of thermodynamics, which therefore holds in the usual way. Moreover, some claims in the literature that this principle can be violated for specific anomalous systems (e.g., granular materials) can be shown ...
