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

A Campa, T Dauxois, S Ruffo - Physics Reports, 2009 - Elsevier
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 …

the interparticle distance with an exponent smaller than the dimensionality of the embedding …

Statistical mechanics of two-dimensional and geophysical flows

F Bouchet, A Venaille - Physics reports, 2012 - Elsevier
The theoretical study of the self-organization of two-dimensional and geophysical turbulent
flows is addressed based on statistical mechanics methods. This review is a self-contained …

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 …

Thermodynamics and dynamics of systems with long-range interactions

We review simple aspects of the thermodynamic and dynamical properties of systems with
long-range pairwise interactions (LRI), which decay as 1/rd+ σ at large distances r in d …

Phase transitions and configuration space topology

M Kastner - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2008 - APS
Equilibrium phase transitions may be defined as nonanalytic points of thermodynamic
functions, eg, of the canonical free energy. Given a certain physical system, it is of interest to …

Thermodynamics and Van der Waals phase transition of charged black holes in flat spacetime via Rényi statistics

C Promsiri, E Hirunsirisawat, W Liewrian - Physical Review D, 2020 - APS
The phase structure and critical phenomena of the 3+ 1 dimensional charged black holes in
asymptotically flat spacetime are investigated within the Rényi statistics. As the nonextensive …

Dynamics and thermodynamics of a simple model similar to self-gravitating systems: the HMF model

PH Chavanis, J Vatteville, F Bouchet - The European Physical Journal B …, 2005 - Springer
We discuss the dynamics and thermodynamics of the Hamiltonian Mean Field model (HMF)
which is a prototypical system with long-range interactions. The HMF model can be seen as …

Large deviation techniques applied to systems with long-range interactions

J Barré, F Bouchet, T Dauxois, S Ruffo - Journal of Statistical Physics, 2005 - Springer
We discuss a method to solve models with long-range interactions in the microcanonical
and canonical ensemble. The method closely follows the one introduced by RS Ellis …
