T. Dauxois' "Non-Gaussian distributions under scrutiny" under scrutiny
arXiv:0712.4165
Abstract
A recent paper by T. Dauxois entitled "Non-Gaussian distributions under scrutiny" is submitted to scrutiny. Several comments on its content are made, which constitute, at the same time, a brief state-of-the-art review of nonextensive statistical mechanics, a current generalization of the Boltzmann-Gibbs theory. Some inadvertences and misleading sentences are pointed out as well.
