A New Thermodynamics from Nuclei to Stars III

D. H. E. Gross

Equilibrium statistics of Hamiltonian systems is correctly described by the microcanonical ensemble. Classically this is the manifold of all points in the body phase space with…

Microscopic statistical basis of classical Thermodynamics of finite systems

D. H. E. Gross

Heat can flow from cold to hot at any phase separation. Therefore Lynden-Bell's gravo-thermal catastrophe must be reconsidered. The original objects of Thermodynamics, the separati…

The microcanonical thermodynamics of finite systems: The microscopic origin of condensation and phase separations; and the conditions for heat flow from lower to higher temperatures

D. H. E. Gross, J. F. Kenney

Microcanonical thermodynamics allows the application of statistical mechanics both to finite and even small systems and also to the largest, self-gravitating ones. However, one mus…

Apparent fractal dimensions in the HMF model

L. Sguanci, D. H. E. Gross, S. Ruffo

We show that recent observations of fractal dimensions in the -space of -body Hamiltonian systems with long-range interactions are due to finite and finite resolution eff…

The microcanonical entropy is multiply differentiable. No dinosaurs in microcanonical gravitation: No special "microcanonical phase transitions"

D. H. E. Gross

The microcanonical entropy is the {\em geometrical measure} of the microscopic redundancy or ignorance about the N-body system. {\em Even for astronomical large syste…
