Boltzmann and Statistical Mechanics †
" O! immodest mortal! Your destiny is the joy of watching the evershifting battle! " Ludwig Boltzmann † Lecture given at the International Meeting " Boltzmann's Legacy-150 Years after his Birth " , organized by the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei, 25-28 May 1994, in Rome, to be published in: " Atti dell " Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei " , 1997.
متن کاملAtomism, Boltzmann and nonequilibrium statistical mechanics
We often try to infer reality of objects, or concepts, by assuming their existence or consistence and deducing consequences so extreme in appearance, with respect to the starting assumptions, to imply the searched reality, once their truth can be be checked. This process has been behind many of the great advances in Science, in Physics at least. As an example I am thinking of the "aristotelian"...
متن کاملStatistical mechanics of the fluctuating lattice Boltzmann equation.
We propose a derivation of the fluctuating lattice Boltzmann equation that is consistent with both equilibrium statistical mechanics and fluctuating hydrodynamics. The formalism is based on a generalized lattice-gas model, with each velocity direction occupied by many particles. We show that the most probable state of this model corresponds to the usual equilibrium distribution of the lattice B...
متن کاملGeneralized Boltzmann Equation in a Manifestly Covariant Relativistic Statistical Mechanics
We consider the relativistic statistical mechanics of an ensemble of N events with motion in space-time parametrized by an invariant “historical time” τ. We generalize the approach of Yang and Yao, based on the Wigner distribution functions and the Bogoliubov hypotheses, to find the approximate dynamical equation for the kinetic state of any nonequilibrium system to the relativistic case, and o...
متن کاملStatistical mechanics of generally covariant quantum theories: A Boltzmann-like approach
We study the possibility of applying statistical mechanics to generally covariant quantum theories with a vanishing Hamiltonian. We show that (under certain appropriate conditions) this makes sense, in spite of the absence of a notion of energy and external time. We consider a composite system formed by a large number of identical components, and apply Boltzmann’s ideas and the fundamental post...
