Newtonian gravity in d dimensions
Pierre-Henri Chavanis
We study the influence of the dimension of space on the thermodynamics of the classical and quantum self-gravitating gas. We consider Hamiltonian systems of self-gravitating partic…

White dwarf stars in D dimensions
P. H. Chavanis
We determine the mass-radius relation of relativistic white dwarf stars (a self-gravitating degenerate Fermi gas at T=0) in a D-dimensional universe and study the influence of the…

Dynamical stability of collisionless stellar systems and barotropic stars: the nonlinear Antonov first law
P. H. Chavanis
We complete previous investigations on the dynamical stability of barotropic stars and collisionless stellar systems. A barotropic star that minimizes the energy functional at fixe…
