Statistical Physics and Dynamical Systems: Models of Phase Transitions

arXiv:0711.0542

Abstract

This paper explores the connection between dynamical system properties and statistical physics of ensembles of such systems. Simple models are used to give novel phase transitions; particularly for finite N particle systems with many physically interesting examples.
