Ensemble inequivalence in random graphs

چکیده
We present a complete analytical solution of a system of Potts spins on a random k-regular graph in both the canonical and microcanonical ensembles, using the Large Deviation Cavity Method (LDCM). The solution is shown to be composed of three different branches, resulting in an non-concave entropy function.The analytical solution is confirmed with numerical Metropolis and Creutz simulations and our results clearly demonstrate the presence of a region with negative specific heat and, consequently, ensemble inequivalence between the canonical and microcanonical ensembles.

Ensemble Inequivalence: A Formal Approach
Ensemble inequivalence has been observed in several systems. In particular it has been recently shown that negative specific heat can arise in the microcanonical ensemble in the thermodynamic limit for systems with long-range interactions. We display a connection between such behaviour and a mean-field like structure of the partition function. Since short-range models cannot display this kind o...
متن کاملSolvable phase diagrams and ensemble inequivalence for two-dimensional and geophysical turbulent flows
Using explicit analytical computations, generic occurrence of inequivalence between two or more statistical ensembles is obtained for a large class of equilibrium states of two-dimensional and geophysical turbulent flows. The occurrence of statistical ensemble inequivalence is shown to be related to previously observed phase transitions in the equilibrium flow topology. We find in these turbule...
متن کاملThe inequivalence of thermodynamic ensembles
The inequivalence of thermodynamical ensembles related by a Legendre transformation is manifest in self-gravitating systems and in black hole thermodynamics. Using the Poincaré’s method of the linear series, we describe the mathematical reasons which lead to this inequivalence which in turn induces a hierarchy of ensembles: the most stable ensemble describes the most isolated system. Moreover, ...

متن کاملEnsemble inequivalence in a mean-field XY model with ferromagnetic and nematic couplings.
We explore ensemble inequivalence in long-range interacting systems by studying an XY model of classical spins with ferromagnetic and nematic coupling. We demonstrate the inequivalence by mapping the microcanonical phase diagram onto the canonical one, and also by doing the inverse mapping. We show that the equilibrium phase diagrams within the two ensembles strongly disagree within the regions...
