The large deviation approach to statistical mechanics
H Touchette - Physics Reports, 2009 - Elsevier
The theory of large deviations is concerned with the exponential decay of probabilities of
large fluctuations in random systems. These probabilities are important in many fields of …

Statistical mechanics and dynamics of solvable models with long-range interactions
For systems with long-range interactions, the two-body potential decays at large distances
as V (r)∼ 1/rα, with α≤ d, where d is the space dimension. Examples are: gravitational …

Phase transitions in self-gravitating systems
PH Chavanis - International Journal of Modern Physics B, 2006 - World Scientific
We discuss the nature of phase transitions in self-gravitating systems. We show the
connection between the binary star model of Padmanabhan, the thermodynamics of stellar …
