Grand canonical ensembles in general relativity

چکیده
We develop a formalism for general relativistic, grand canonical ensembles in space-times with timelike Killing fields. Using that, we derive ideal gas laws, and show how they depend on the geometry of the particular space-times. A systematic method for calculating Newtonian limits is given for a class of these space-times, which is illustrated for Kerr space-time. In addition, we prove uniqueness of the infinite volume Gibbs measure, and absence of phase transitions for a class of interaction potentials in anti-de Sitter space.

Triality in Qcd at Zero and Finite Temperature: a New Direction
Discrete symmetries in grand canonical ensembles and in ensembles canonical with respect to triality are investigated. We speculate about the general phase structure of finite temperature gauge theories with discrete Z(N) symmetry. Low and high temperature phases turn out to be different in both ensembles even for infinite systems. It is argued that gauge theories with matter fields in the fund...
متن کاملConductance of Aharonov–Bohm Rings: From the Discrete to the Continuous Spectrum Limit
The dissipative conductance of an array of mesoscopic rings, subject to an a.c. magnetic flux is investigated. The magneto–conductance may change sign between canonical and grand-canonical statistical ensembles, as function of the inelastic level broadening and as function of the temperature. Differences between canonical and grand-canonical ensembles persist up to temperature of the order of t...
متن کاملMultiplicity fluctuations in heavy ion collisions using canonical and grand canonical ensemble
We report the higher order cumulants and their ratios for baryon, charge and strangeness multiplicity in canonical and grand-canonical ensembles in ideal thermal model including all the resonances. When the number of conserved quanta is small, an explicit treatment of these conserved charges is required, which leads to a canonical description of the system and the fluctuations are significantly...
متن کاملExpanded grand canonical and Gibbs ensemble Monte Carlo simulation of polymers
A novel formalism is presented for simulation of polymers in expanded grand canonical and expanded Gibbs ensembles. Molecular creation and destruction attempts are replaced by transition attempts between states of a tagged chain of variable length. Results are presented for expanded grand canonical simulations of hard-core chain fluids in the bulk and in a slit pore and for expanded Gibbs ensem...
متن کاملStatistics of non-interacting bosons and fermions in micro-canonical, canonical and grand-canonical ensembles: A survey
The statistical properties of non-interacting bosons and fermions confined in trapping potentials are most easily obtained when the system may exchange energy and particles with a large reservoir (grand-canonical ensemble). There are circumstances, however, where the system under consideration may be considered as being isolated (micro-canonical ensemble). This paper first reviews results relat...
