Relativistic Statistical Mechanics vs. Relativistic Thermodynamics
نویسندگان
چکیده
Based on a covariant theory of equilibrium Thermodynamics, a Statistical Relativistic Mechanics is developed for the non-interacting case. Relativistic Thermodynamics and Jüttner Relativistic Distribution Function in a moving frame are obtained by using this covariant theory. A proposal for a Relativistic Statistical Mechanics is exposed for the interacting case.

Thermodynamic Equilibrium in Relativity: Four-temperature, Killing Vectors and Lie Derivatives
The main concepts of general relativistic thermodynamics and general relativistic statistical mechanics are reviewed. The main building block of the proper relativistic extension of the classical thermodynamics laws is the four-temperature vector β, which plays a major role in the quantum framework and defines a very convenient hydrodynamic frame. The general relativistic thermodynamic equilibr...
متن کاملRelativistic Quantum Thermodynamics of Ideal Gases in 2 Dimensions
In this work we study the behavior of relativistic ideal Bose and Fermi gases in two space dimensions. Making use of polylogarithm functions we derive a closed and unified expression for their densities. It is shown that both type of gases are essentially inequivalent, and only in the non-relativistic limit the spinless and equal mass Bose and Fermi gases are equivalent as known in the literature.
متن کاملThermostatistics of a Relativistic Gas: Equilibrium and Non-equilibrium Properties
The introduction of models to simulate dynamics of relativistic gaseous systems is among the latest efforts made in the recent decades to investigate the relativistic generalizations of statistical thermodynamics. Relativistic thermodynamics was born in the early 20th century to investigate the consequences of Einstien’s special relativity on thermodynamic systems. A simple and important questi...

Since the turn of the 20-th century Brownian noise has continuously disclosed a rich variety of phenomena in and around physics. The understanding of this jittering motion of suspended microscopic particles has undoubtedly helped to reinforce and substantiate those pillars on which the basic modern physical theories are resting: Its formal description provided the key to great achievements in s...
متن کاملThermodynamics of relativistic fermions with Chern-Simons coupling.
We study the thermodynamics of the relativistic Quantum Field Theory of massive fermions in three space-time dimensions coupled to an Abelian Maxwell-Chern-Simons gauge field. We evaluate the specific heat at finite temperature and density and find that the variation with the statistical angle is consistent with the non-relativistic ideas on generalized statistics. 11.15.-q, 11.10.Wx, 11.10.Kk ...
