Fluid-like entropy and equilibrium statistical mechanics of self-gravitating systems
Dong-Biao Kang, Ping He
The statistical mechanics of self-gravitating systems has not been well understood, and still remains an open question so far. In a previous study by Kang & He, we showed that the…
Second-order solutions of the equilibrium statistical mechanics for self-gravitating systems
Ping He
In a previous study, we formulated a framework of the entropy-based equilibrium statistical mechanics for self-gravitating systems. This theory is based on the Boltzmann-Gibbs entr…
Saddle-point entropy states of equilibrated self-gravitating systems
Ping He, Dong-Biao Kang
In this Letter, we investigate the stability of the statistical equilibrium of spherically symmetric collisionless self-gravitating systems. By calculating the second variation of…
Equilibrium statistical mechanics for self-gravitating systems: local ergodicity and extended Boltzmann-Gibbs/White-Narayan statistics
Ping He
The long-standing puzzle surrounding the statistical mechanics of self-gravitating systems has not yet been solved successfully. We formulate a systematic theoretical framework of…
