Caloric curves of classical self-gravitating systems in general relativity
Giuseppe Alberti, Pierre-Henri Chavanis
We determine the caloric curves of classical self-gravitating systems at statistical equilibrium in general relativity. In the classical limit, the caloric curves of a self-gravita…

Gravitational phase transitions and instabilities of self-gravitating fermions in general relativity
Pierre-Henri Chavanis, Giuseppe Alberti
We discuss the occurrence of gravitational phase transitions and instabilities in a gas of self-gravitating fermions within the framework of general relativity. In the classical (n…

Caloric curves of self-gravitating fermions in general relativity
Giuseppe Alberti, Pierre-Henri Chavanis
We study the nature of phase transitions between gaseous and condensed states in the self-gravitating Fermi gas at nonzero temperature in general relativity. The condensed states c…
