On relativistic models in the equilibrium statistical mechanics
نویسنده
چکیده
Relativistic effects in the thermodynamical properties of interacting particle systems are investigated within the framework of the relativistic direct interaction theory in various forms of dynamics. In the front form of relativistic dynamics an exactly solvable model of a one-dimensional hard spheres gas is formulated and an equation of state and thermodynamical potentials for such a gas are found. Weakly-relativistic corrections to the thermodynamical functions of the dilute gas with short-range interactions are discussed on the basis of the approximately relativistic Hamiltonian function in the instant form of dynamics.

Relativistic Statistical Mechanics vs. Relativistic Thermodynamics
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.
متن کاملEquilibrium Relativistic Mass Distribution for Indistinguishable Events
A manifestly covariant relativistic statistical mechanics of the system of N indistinguishable events with motion in space-time parametrized by an invariant “historical time” τ is considered. The relativistic mass distribution for such a system is obtained from the equilibrium solution of the generalized relativistic Boltzmann equation by integration over angular and hyperbolic angular variable...
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...
متن کاملThermodynamic 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 کاملStationarity, ergodicity, and entropy in relativistic systems
Recent molecular dynamics simulations show that a dilute relativistic gas equilibrates to a Jüttner velocity distribution if ensemble velocities are measured simultaneously in the observer frame. The analysis of relativistic Brownian motion processes, on the other hand, implies that stationary one-particle distributions can differ depending on the underlying timeparameterizations. Using molecul...
