Representative Ensembles in Statistical Mechanics
نویسنده
چکیده
The notion of representative statistical ensembles, correctly representing statistical systems, is strictly formulated. This notion allows for a proper description of statistical systems, avoiding inconsistencies in theory. As an illustration, a Bose-condensed system is considered. It is shown that a self-consistent treatment of the latter, using a representative ensemble, always yields a conserving and gapless theory.

Inequivalence of Ensembles in Statistical Mechanics
For studying the thermodynamic properties of systems using statistical mechanics we propose an ensemble that lies in between the familiar canonical and microcanonical ensembles. From a comparative study of these ensembles we conclude that all these ensembles may not yield the same results even in the thermodynamic limit except at high temperatures. An investigation of the coupling between syste...
متن کاملRepresentative statistical ensembles for Bose systems with broken gauge symmetry
Bose-condensed systems with broken global gauge symmetry are considered. The description of these systems, as has been shown by Hohenberg and Martin, possesses an internal inconsistency, resulting in either nonconserving theories or yielding an unphysical gap in the spectrum. The general notion of representative statistical ensembles is formulated for arbitrary statistical systems, equilibrium ...

متن کاملQuantum Ensembles and the Statistical Operator: A Tutorial
The main purpose of this tutorial is to elucidate in details what should be meant by ensemble of states in quantum mechanics, and to properly address the problem of discriminating, exactly or approximately, two diÆerent ensembles. To this aim we review the notion and the definition of quantum ensemble as well as its relationships with the concept of statistical operator in quantum mechanics. We...
