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…
Gravitational phase transition of self-gravitating systems of fermions in General Relativity
Giuseppe Alberti, Pierre-Henri Chavanis
The Thomas-Fermi model is extended at finite temperature, to describe the gravitational phase transition occurring in massive fermionic systems in a general-relativistic framework.…
On the dynamical instability of self-gravitating systems
Giuseppe Alberti
We study the dynamical stability of self-gravitating systems in presence of anisotropy. In particular, we introduce a stability criterion, in terms of the adiabatic local index, th…
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…
A General Criterion for the Dynamical Stability of Anisotropic Newtonian Systems
Giuseppe Alberti, Marco Merafina
The problem of the dynamical stability of anistropic systems is studied, by proposing a criterion in terms of the adiabatic local index . The result has general validity and can…
