Abstract

The Gentile statistics interpolates between the standard bosonic and fermionic statistics, allowing an intermediate maximum state occupation 1< M < ∞. A generalization of this statistics having the Gibbs factor es/T phenomenologically substituted with the nonadditive Tsallis q-exponential is analyzed. Depending on the values of the statistics parameter q, peculiarities of the thermodynamic functions are observed: for q > 1, a finite (nonzero) minimum temperature arises in the model, while for q < 1, the specific heat does not tend to zero at T → 0. These results are consistent with previously reported for a similar generalization of the fermionic statistics [A. Rovenchak and B. Sobko, Physica A534, 122098 (2019)]. Their relevance for modeling phenomena in real physical systems is briefly outlined.

In the quantum regime, the third law of thermodynamics implies the unattainability of pure states. As shown recently, such unattainability implies that a unitary interaction between the measured system and a measuring apparatus can never implement an ideal projective measurement. In this paper, we introduce an operational formulation of the third law for the most general class of physical transformations, the violation of which is both necessary and sufficient for the preparation of pure states. Subsequently, we investigate how such a law constrains measurements of general observables, or positive operator-valued measures. We identify several desirable properties of measurements which are simultaneously enjoyed by ideal projective measurements—and are hence all ruled out by the third law in such a case—and determine if the third law allows for these properties to obtain for general measurements of general observables and, if so, under what conditions. It is shown that while the third law rules out some of these properties for all observables, others may be enjoyed by observables that are sufficiently “unsharp.”

When a quantum system couples strongly to multiple baths, then it is generally no longer possible to describe the resulting system dynamics by simply adding the individual effects of each bath. However, capturing such multibath system dynamics typically requires approximations that can obscure some of the nonadditive effects. Here we present a numerically exact and efficient technique for tackling this problem that builds on the time-evolving matrix product operator (TEMPO) representation. We test the method by applying it to a simple model system that exhibits nonadditive behavior: a two-level dipole coupled to both a vibrational and an optical bath. Although not directly coupled, there is an effective interaction between the baths mediated by the system that can lead to population inversion in the matter system when the vibrational coupling is strong. We benchmark and validate multibath TEMPO against two approximate methods—one based on a polaron transformation, the other on an identification of a reaction coordinate—before exploring the regime of simultaneously strong vibrational and optical coupling where the approximate techniques break down. Here we uncover a new regime where the quantum Zeno effect leads to a fully mixed state of the electronic system.

In this paper we employ a recent proposal of C. Tsallis and formulate the first law of thermodynamics for gravitating systems in terms of the extensive but non-additive entropy. We pay a particular attention to an integrating factor for the heat one-form and show that in contrast to conventional thermodynamics it factorizes into thermal and entropic part. Ensuing first law of thermodynamics implies Tsallis cosmology, which is then subsequently used to address the observed discrepancy between current bound on the Dark Matter relic abundance and present IceCube data on high-energy neutrinos. To resolve this contradiction we keep the conventional minimal Yukawa-type interaction between standard model and Dark Matter particles but replace the usual Friedmann field equations with Tsallis-cosmology-based modified Friedmann equations. We show that when the Tsallis scaling exponent δ1.57\delta \sim 1.57 (or equivalently, the holographic scaling exponent α3.13\alpha \sim 3.13) the aforementioned discrepancy disappears.

One of the foremost goals of theoretical modern physics is to obtain a reliable theory of quantum gravity. In so doing, new fundamental scales are being proposed. For example, in the Snyder–de Sitter (SdS) model, two scales manifest which relate measurement limits of the position and momentum. In this work, we study the thermodynamic functions of the Schwarzschild black hole in the SdS model within the presence of position independent and dependent gravity’s rainbow. Heuristically, we prove the presence of a nonzero lower bound value of the horizon, mass and temperature of the black hole. Then, we present the stability and remnant conditions of the black hole according to the entropy and heat capacity functions.

We analyze the generalized uncertainty principle (GUP) impact onto the nonextensive black hole thermodynamics by using Rényi entropy. We show that when introducing GUP effects, both Rényi entropy and temperature associated with black holes have finite values at the end of the evaporation process. We also study the sparsity of the radiation, associated with Rényi temperature, and compare it with the sparsity of Hawking radiation. Finally, we investigate GUP modifications to the sparsity of the radiation when GUP effects are introduced into Rényi temperature.

Boltzmann–Gibbs statistical mechanics applies satisfactorily to a plethora of systems. It fails however for complex systems generically involving nonlocal space–time entanglement. Its generalization based on nonadditive q -entropies adequately handles a wide class of such systems. We show here that scale-invariant networks belong to this class. We numerically study a d -dimensional geographically located network with weighted links and exhibit its ‘energy’ distribution per site at its quasi-stationary state. Our results strongly suggest a correspondence between the random geometric problem and a class of thermal problems within the generalised thermostatistics. The Boltzmann–Gibbs exponential factor is generically substituted by its q -generalisation, and is recovered in the q=1 q = 1 limit when the nonlocal effects fade away. The present connection should cross-fertilise experiments in both research areas.

Composite structure of particles somewhat modifies their statistics, compared to the pure Bose- or Fermi-ones. The spin-statistics theorem, so, is not valid anymore. Say, п-mesons, excitons, Cooper pairs are not ideal bosons, and, likewise, baryons are not pure fermions. In our preceding papers, we studied bipartite composite boson (i.e. quasiboson) systems via a realization by deformed oscillators. Therein, the interconstituent entanglement characteristics such as entanglement entropy and purity were found in terms of the parameter of deformation. Herein, we perform an analogous study of composite Fermi-type particles, and explore them in two major cases: (i) “boson + fermion” composite fermions (or cofermions, or CFs); (ii) “deformed boson + fermion” CFs. As we show, cofermions in both cases admit only the realization by ordinary fermions. Case (i) is solved explicitly, and admissible wavefunctions are found along with entanglement measures. Case (ii) is treated within few modes both for CFs and constituents. The entanglement entropy and purity of CFs are obtained via the relevant parameters and illustrated graphically.

We apply the holographic principle in the cosmological context through the nonadditive Tsallis entropy used to describe the thermodynamic properties of nonstandard statistical systems such as the gravitational ones. Assuming the future event horizon as the infrared cutoff, we build a dark energy model free from cosmological inconsistencies, which includes standard thermodynamics and standard holographic dark energy as a limiting case. We thus describe the dynamics of Tsallis holographic dark energy in a flat Friedmann-Lemaître-Roberson-Walker background. Hence, we investigate cosmological perturbations in the linear regime on subhorizon scales. We study the growth of matter fluctuations in the case of clustering dark matter and a homogeneous dark energy component. Furthermore, we employ the most recent late-time cosmic data to test the observational viability of our theoretical scenario. We thus obtain constraints on the free parameters of the model by means of Monte Carlo numerical method. We also used Bayesian selection criteria to estimate the statistical preference for Tsallis holographic dark energy compared to the concordance ΛCDM paradigm. Our results show deviations from standard holographic dark energy within the 2σ confidence level. Finally, the analysis of the dark energy equation of state indicates a quintessencelike behavior with no evidence for phantom-divide crossing at the 1σ level.

Bethe ansatz and bosonization procedures are used to describe the thermodynamics of the strong-coupled Hubbard chain in the spin-incoherent Luttinger liquid (LL) regime: J(≡4t2/U)≪kBT≪EF, where t is the hopping amplitude, U(≫t) is the repulsive on-site Coulomb interaction, and kBT(EF∼t) is the thermal (Fermi) energy. We introduce a fractional Landau LL approach, whose U=∞ fixed point is exactly mapped onto an ideal gas with two species obeying the Haldane-Wu exclusion fractional statistics. This phenomenological approach sheds light on the behavior of several thermodynamic properties in the spin-incoherent LL regime: specific heat, charge compressibility, magnetic susceptibility, and Drude weight. In fact, besides the hopping (mass) renormalization, the fractional Landau LL parameters, due to quasiparticle interaction, are determined and relationships with velocities of holons and spinons are unveiled. The specific heat thus obtained is in very good agreement with previous density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) simulations of the t−J model in the spin-incoherent regime. A phase diagram is provided and two thermodynamic paths to access this regime clarifies both the numerical and analytical procedures. Further, we show that the high-T limit of the fractional Landau LL entropy and chemical potential exhibit the expected results of the t−J model, under the condition U≫kBT. Lastly, finite-temperature Lanczos simulations of the single-particle distribution function confirm the characteristics of the spin-incoherent regime and the high-T limit observed in previous DMRG studies.

In this paper, the nonzero minimum temperature is considered based on the third law of thermodynamics and existence of the minimal momentum. From the assumption of nonzero positive minimum temperature in nature, we deform the definitions of some thermodynamical quantities and investigate nonzero minimum temperature correction to the well-known thermodynamical problems.

In this paper the deformed boson algebra giving the Gentile distribution function is constructed by using the model of ideal gas of deformed bosons and some properties of a root of unity. As an example we discuss the quantum optical problem related to the Gentile (or f-deformed) boson algebra with large but finite M. For this algebra we construct the Gentile (or f-deformed) coherent state and discuss its nonclassical properties such as sub-Poissonian statistics and anti-bunching effect.

The laws of thermodynamics constrain the formulation of statistical mechanics at the microscopic level. The third law of thermodynamics states that the entropy must vanish at absolute zero temperature for systems with nondegenerate ground states in equilibrium. Conversely, the entropy can vanish only at absolute zero temperature. Here we ask whether or not generalized entropies satisfy this fundamental property. We propose a direct analytical procedure to test if a generalized entropy satisfies the third law, assuming only very general assumptions for the entropy S and energy U of an arbitrary N-level classical system. Mathematically, the method relies on exact calculation of β=dS/dU in terms of the microstate probabilities p_{i}. To illustrate this approach, we present exact results for the two best known generalizations of statistical mechanics. Specifically, we study the Kaniadakis entropy S_{κ}, which is additive, and the Tsallis entropy S_{q}, which is nonadditive. We show that the Kaniadakis entropy correctly satisfies the third law only for -1<κ<+1, thereby shedding light on why κ is conventionally restricted to this interval. Surprisingly, however, the Tsallis entropy violates the third law for q<1. Finally, we give a concrete example of the power of our proposed method by applying it to a paradigmatic system: the one-dimensional ferromagnetic Ising model with nearest-neighbor interactions.

A characteristic feature of spin ice is its apparent violation of the third law of thermodynamics. This leads to a number of interesting properties including the emergence of an effective vacuum for magnetic monopoles and their currents - magnetricity. Here we add a new dimension to the experimental study of spin ice by fabricating thin epitaxial films of Dy2Ti2O7, varying between 5 and 60 monolayers on an inert substrate. The films show the distinctive characteristics of spin ice at temperatures >2 K, but at lower temperature we find evidence of a zero entropy state. This restoration of the third law in spin ice thin films is consistent with a predicted strain-induced ordering of a very unusual type, previously discussed for analogous electrical systems. Our results show how the physics of frustrated pyrochlore magnets such as spin ice may be significantly modified in thin-film samples.

We investigate a microscopic black hole in the case of modified generalized uncertainty principle with a minimal uncertainty in position as well as in momentum. We calculate thermodynamical functions of a Schwarzschild black hole such as temperature, entropy and heat capacity. It is shown that the incorporation of minimal uncertainty in momentum leads to minimal temperature of a black hole. Minimal temperature gives rise to appearance of a phase transition. Emission rate equation and black hole's evaporation time are also obtained.

In Gentile statistics the maximum occupation number can take on unrestricted integers: 1<n<1<n<\infty . It is usually believed that Gentile statistics will reduce to Bose-Einstein statistics when n equals the total number of particles in the system N. In this paper, we will show that this statement is valid only when the fugacity z<1; nevertheless, if z>1 the Bose-Einstein case is not recovered from Gentile statistics as n goes to % N . Attention is also concentrated on the contribution of the ground state which was ignored in related literature. The thermodynamic behavior of a % \nu -dimensional Gentile ideal gas of particle of dispersion E=\frac{p^{s}%}{2m}, where ν\nu and s are arbitrary, is analyzed in detail. Moreover, we provide an alternative derivation of the partition function for Gentile statistics.

We study the high density region of QCD within an effective model obtained in the frame of the hopping parameter expansion and choosing Polyakov type of loops as the main dynamical variables representing the fermionic matter. To get a first idea of the phase structure, the model is analyzed in strong coupling expansion and using a mean field approximation. In numerical simulations, the model still shows the so-called sign problem, a difficulty peculiar to non-zero chemical potential, but it permits the development of algorithms which ensure a good overlap of the Monte Carlo ensemble with the true one. We review the main features of the model and present calculations concerning the dependence of various observables on the chemical potential and on the temperature, in particular of the charge density and the diquark susceptibility, which may be used to characterize the various phases expected at high baryonic density. We obtain in this way information about the phase structure of the model and the corresponding phase transitions and cross over regions, which can be considered as hints for the behaviour of non-zero density QCD.

The molecular dynamics method is applied to simulate the behavior of two-dimensional electron clusters of various shapes containing about 100 particles. The influence of a magnetic field on the effects of ordering and disordering (melting) in such clusters is studied. The field dependence of the rms displacements of particles in clusters is determined, and the trajectories of electron motion are found as functions of temperature and magnetic field. Ordering and disordering in clusters were fixed by the appearance of characteristic features in the rms displacements of electrons in the system. Hysteresis was observed in the field dependence of these displacements at a fixed temperature. The obtained data are compared with the results for root-mean-square displacements of electrons in a two-dimensional electronic infinite crystal. The qualitative agreement was found with these results; at the same time, the field dependence of root-mean-square displacements in an unbounded crystal is much weaker than in the clusters under study. The influence of the cluster shape on ordering transitions is studied, and it is found that the shape of a defect-free cluster does not affect the transition conditions. The distribution of electron velocities in clusters is studied for various magnetic fields.

We consider two examples of real physical systems approximately described using fractional nonadditive Polychronakos statistics. The values of two statistics parameters are linked to properties of modeled systems using virial expansion. For a two-dimensional Fermi gas with contact interactions, accuracy up to the third virial coefficient is achieved. An approach to model the second virial coefficient of non-Abelian soft-core anyons is analyzed in detail.

In this paper, we make use of the κ-deformed Kaniadakis distribution in the context of modulational instability (MI) of ion acoustic waves (IAWs) in a plasma assumed to be collisionless and unmagnetized, consisting of inertial ions and non-Maxwellian electrons. Through the multiscale perturbation method, the basic model equations are reduced to a nonlinear Schrödinger equation, based on which the MI and the growth rate of envelope excitations are calculated. It is shown that the deformation parameter κ, which develops the Kaniadakis entropy, affects the conditions for MI and thus modifies the associated threshold as well as the growth rate. The deviation from Maxwellian distribution, i.e., the presence of Kaniadakis distributed electrons, reinforces the instability. The critical wave number shows diminishing behavior with higher values of κ, suggesting that the MI sets in for lower values of wave number.

The paper is devoted to the theory of an ideal Bose-gas with a finite number N of particles. The exact expressions for the partition functions and occupation numbers of the model in the grand canonical, canonical, and microcanonical ensembles are found. From the calculations, it is followed that, oppositely to the accepted opinion that the chemical potential μ of an ideal Bose-gas is only negative, it can take values in the range −∞ < μ < ∞. The asymptotic expressions (in the case N ≫ 1) for the partition functions and occupation numbers for all above-mentioned thermodynamic ensembles are also evaluated.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic was investigated within a general Susceptible-Infectious-Removed (SIR) model, especially the distributions of its dead cases and infectious ones. This paper applied its nonextensive modification with respect to more realistic situations. A time-dependent SIR model was modified when particularly regarding control and mitigation measures in response to the societal impacts of epidemics and pandemics. We validated all the theoretical results by fitting the derived q -distributions with data from the COVID-19 pandemic in the world. It was found that not all the changeable fit parameters are independent, some of which shared common properties, a result corroborated by our model prediction. Our modified SIR model was proved to be effective in fitting the COVID-19 epidemic distributions. The relative non-extensive parameter was strongly connected with the freedom of systems, which thus threw a light upon the prevention and treatment of disease next in the world.

Working in the framework of generalized statistics, the problem of establishing third law of thermodynamics in the black hole physics is studied by focusing on Schwarzschild black hole which easily and clearly exposes the violation of this law in the common approach based on Bekenstein entropy. Additionally, it is addressed that some inconsistencies between the predictions of quantum field theory and thermodynamics about the black hole temperature may be reconciled by using the thermodynamics laws in order to broaden energy definition. It claims that thermodynamics should be employed as a powerful tool in looking for more comprehensive energy definitions in high-energy physics, still mysterious.

In this paper, we show that the elementary excitations of interacting spin lattice models, such as the Ising models, the Heisenberg models and the abelian Kitaev anyons, can be regarded as the quasiparticles of Gentile statistics. The advantage of the quasiparticle viewpoint is that eigenvalues and eigenstates of these models can be directly obtained by creating and annihilating Gentile quasiparticles. We provide the eigenstates and eigenvalues of d-dimensional Ising model with periodic boundary conditions. We also provide the eigenvalues of the Heisenberg models, the abelian Kitaev anyons, 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional general spin lattice models. In addition, we point out that one kind of next nearest neighbor interacting models and more general interacting model may correspond to several kinds of quasiparticles of Gentile statistics.

Gentile statistics describes fractional statistical systems in the occupation number representation. Anyon statistics researches those systems in the winding number representation. Both of them are intermediate statistics between Bose–Einstein and Fermi–Dirac statistics. The second quantization of Gentile statistics shows a lot of advantages. According to the symmetry requirement of the wave function and the property of braiding, we give the general construction of transformation between anyon and Gentile statistics. In other words, we introduce the second quantization form of anyons in an easier way. This construction is a correspondence between two fractional statistics and gives a new description of anyon. Basic relations of second quantization operators, the coherent state and Berry phase are also discussed.

Human language evolved by natural mechanisms into an efficient system capable of coding and transmitting highly structured information [12, 13, 14]. As a remarkable complex system it allows many levels of description across its organizational hierarchy [1, 11, 18]. In this context statistical analysis stands as a valuable tool in order to reveal robust structural patterns that may have resulted from its long evolutionary history. In this chapter we shall address the statistical regularities of human language at its most basic level of description, namely the rank-frequency distribution of words. Around 1932 the philologist George Zipf [6, 19, 20] noted the manifestation of several robust power-law distributions arising in different realms of human activity. Among them, the most striking was undoubtedly the one referring to the distribution of words frequencies in human languages. The best way to introduce Zipf's law for words is by means of a concrete example. Let us take a literary work, say, James Joyce's Ulysses, and perform some basic statistics on it, whic simply consists in counting all the words present in the text and noting how many occurrences each distinct word form has. For this particular text we should arrive at the following numbers: the total number of words N = 268,112, and the number of different word forms V = 28,838. We can now order the list of different words according to decreasing number of occurrences, and we can assign to each word a rank index s equal to its position in the list starting from the most frequent word. Some general features of the rank-ordered list of words can be mentioned at this point. First, the top-rank words are functional components of language devoid of direct meaning, such as the article the and prepositions, for instance. A few ranks down the list, words more related to the contents of the text start to appear.

In this article, a box-covering Tsallis information dimension is introduced, and the physical interpretation of this new dimension has been assigned. Moreover, based on the introduced parameter q , a characterization of non-extensive networks is stated, allowing the classification according to super-extensive (q ≺ 1), sub-extensive (q 1) or extensive (q = 1). The experimental results on both synthetic and real complex networks shed light on the type of interaction of the boxes. The results support the conjecture that the box-covering Tsallis information dimension is a suitable and flexible measure of information of real complex networks that exhibit a rich structural diversity.

We compare two approaches to the generalization of the ordinary Fermi-statistics based on the nonadditive Tsallis q-exponential used in the Gibbs factor instead of the conventional exponential function. Both numerical and analytical calculations are made for the chemical potential, fugacity, energy, and the specific heat of the ideal gas obeying such generalized types of statistics. In the approach based on the Gibbs factor containing the chemical potential, high temperature behavior of the specific heat significantly deviates from the expected classical limit, while at low temperatures it resembles that of the ordinary ideal Fermi-gas. On the contrary, when the fugacity enters as a multiplier at the Gibbs factor, the high-temperature limit reproduces the classical ideal gas correctly. At low temperatures, however, some interesting results are observed, corresponding to non-zero specific heat at the absolute zero temperature or a finite (non-zero) minimal temperature. These results, though exotic from the first glance, might be applicable in effective modeling of physical phenomena in various domains.

The paper analyzes an approach to the generalization of the conventional Bose-Einstein statistics based on the nonadditive entropy of Tsallis. A detailed derivation of thermodynamic functions is presented. The calcu-lations are made for the specific heat of two model systems, namely, the ideal three-dimensional gas obeying the nonadditive modification of the Bose-Einstein statistics and the system with linear excitation spectrum at-tempted as a qualitative approximation of liquid ⁴He thermodynamics.

In this paper we introduce the p-deformed fermion algebra as a kind of generalization of the ordinary fermion algebra. We discuss the p-fermion algebra and its representation. We also find the generalized Pauli matrices related to the p-fermion algebra. As applications we discuss the thermodynamics in the canonical ensemble of the p-fermion and the p-fermion gas model.

We present a new method for obtaining the statistical weight of the Gentile Statistics. In a recent paper, Perez and Tun presented an approximate combinatoric and an exact recursive formula for the statistical weight of Gentile Statistics, beginning from bosonic and fermionic cases, respectively Hernandez-Perez and Tun (2007). In this paper, we obtain two exact, one combinatoric and one recursive, formulae for the statistical weight of Gentile Statistics, by another approach. The combinatoric formula is valid only for special cases, whereas recursive formula is valid for all possible cases. Moreover, for a given qmaximum number of particles that can occupy a level for Gentile statistics-the recursive formula we have derived gives the result much faster than the recursive formula presented in Hernandez-Perez and Tun (2007), when one uses a computer program. Moreover we obtained the statistical weight for the distribution proposed by Dai and Xie (2009).

We discuss the Bose–Einstein condensation (BEC) for an ideal gas of bosons in the framework of Tsallis's nonextensive statistical mechanics. We study the corrections to the st and ard BEC formulas due to a weak nonextensivity of the system. In particular, we consider three cases in the D-dimensional space: the homogeneous gas, the gas in a harmonic trap and the relativistic homogenous gas. The results show that small deviations from the extensive Bose statistics produce remarkably large changes in the BEC transition temperature.

Cold atoms in dissipative optical lattices exhibit an unusual transport behaviour that cannot be described within Boltzmann–Gibbs statistical mechanics. New theoretical tools and concepts need thus be developed to account for their observable macroscopic properties. Here we review recent progress achieved in the study of these processes. We emphasize the generality of the findings for a broad class of physical, chemical and biological systems, and discuss open questions and perspectives for future work.

Sunto Dopo alcune premesse sull’importanza della teoria del gas ideale degenere, si espongono i criteri con cui si possono generalizzare le statisliche quantistiche di A. Einstein e di E. Fermi;cioè, come si possa istituire la teoria delle cosidette statistiche intermedie,quelle statistiche dunque, in cui il massimo numero d’occupazione dd’una celia nello spazio delle fasi non è più 1 (statistica diFermi-Dirac),oppure ∞ (statistica diBose-Einstein),ma un numero intero positivo qualunque. Passando poi a considerare le straordinarie proprietà presentate dall’elio liquido II,si mostra corne si possa dare una teoria termodinamica coerente della degenerazione del gas di Einstein, considerando questo gas come ubbidente a una statistica intermedia, in cui il parametrod è lo stesso numero totaleN delle particelle del gas.Il risultato, fisicamente molto importante, che la fase liquida superfluida sia limitata a uno strato sottilissimo, dà degli argomenti per chiarire alcuni fenomeni, veramente straordinari, come l’effetto fontana.Inoltre il carattere semiclassico della nostra teoria meccanico-statistica permette di calcolare alcune proprietà caratteristiche dell’elio liquido II, come la viscosità e la conduttività calorifica.

Wenn der Nernstsche Wrmesatz auch, fr das ideale Gas seine Gltigkeit behalten soll, mu man annehmen, da die Gesetze idealer Gase bei niedrigen Temperaturen von den klassischen abweichen. Die Ursache dieser Entartung ist in einer Quantelung der Molekularbewegungen zu suchen. Bei allen Theorien der Entartung werden immer mehr oder weniger willkrliche Annahmen ber das statistische Verhalten der Molekle, oder ber ihre Quantelung gemacht. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird nur die von Pauli zuerst ausgesprochene und auf zahlreiche spektroskopische Tatsachen begrndete Annahme benutzt, da in einem System nie zwei gleichwertige Elemente vorkommen knnen, deren Quantenzahlen vollstndig bereinstimmen. Mit dieser Hypothese werden die Zustandsgieichung und die innere Energie des idealen Gases abgeleitet; der Entropiewert fr groe Temperaturen stimmt mit dem Stern-Tetrodeschen berein.

We consider the generalized laws of thermodynamics in massive gravity. Making use of explicit black hole solutions, we devise black hole merger processes in which i) total entropy of the system decreases ii) the zero-temperature extremal black hole is created. Thus, both second and third laws of thermodynamics are violated. In both cases, the violation can be traced back to the presence of negative-mass black holes, which, in turn, is related to the violation of the null energy condition. The violation of the third law of thermodynamics implies, in particular, that a naked singularity may be created as a result of the evolution of a singularity-free state. This may signal a problem in the model, unless the creation of the negative-mass black holes from positive-mass states can be forbidden dynamically or the naked singularity may somehow be resolved in a full quantum theory.

A common assumption in the glass science community is that the entropy of a glass can be calculated by integration of measured heat capacity curves through the glass transition. Such integration assumes that glass is an equilibrium material and that the glass transition is a reversible process. However, as a nonequilibrium and nonergodic material, the equations from equilibrium thermodynamics are not directly applicable to the glassy state. Here we investigate the connection between heat capacity and configurational entropy in broken ergodic systems such as glass. We show that it is not possible, in general, to calculate the entropy of a glass from heat capacity curves alone, since additional information must be known related to the details of microscopic fluctuations. Our analysis demonstrates that a time-average formalism is essential to account correctly for the experimentally observed dependence of thermodynamic properties on observation time, e.g., in specific heat spectroscopy. This result serves as experimental and theoretical proof for the nonexistence of residual glass entropy at absolute zero temperature. Example measurements are shown for Corning code 7059 glass.

It is a common impression that by only setting the maximum occupation number to infinity, which is the demand of the indistinguishability of bosons, one can achieve the statistical distribution that bosons obey -- the Bose-Einstein distribution. In this letter, however, we show that only with an infinite maximum occupation number one cannot uniquely achieve the Bose-Einstein distribution, since in the derivation of the Bose-Einstein distribution, the problem of iterated limit is encountered. For achieving the Bose-Einstein distribution, one needs to take both the maximum occupation number and the total number of particles to infinities, and, then, the problem of the order of taking limits arises. Different orders of the limit operations will lead to different statistical distributions. For achieving the Bose-Einstein distribution, besides setting the maximum occupation number, we also need to state the order of the limit operations. Comment: 6 pages, no figure

Further aspects of an interpolative quantum statistics are presented. It is shown, by imposing a positivity condition on the distribution function, that this statistics subsumes Gentile's intermediate statistics and is far richer than Gentile's statistics, apart from being a genuine quantum statistics.

The thermostatistic properties of a q-generalized boson system trapped in an n-dimensional harmonic oscillator potential are studied, based on the generalized statistic distribution derived from Tsallis' entropy. The density of states, total number of particles, critical temperature at which Bose-Einstein condensation occurs, internal energy, and heat capacity at constant volume are derived. The characteristics of Bose-Einstein condensation of the system are discussed in detail. It is found from the results obtained here that the thermostatistic properties of such a system depend closely on parameter q, dimensional number of the space, and frequency of the harmonic oscillator; and the external potential has a great influence on the thermostatistic properties of the system.

A Bose-Einstein condensate was produced in a vapor of rubidium-87 atoms that was confined by magnetic fields and evaporatively cooled. The condensate fraction first appeared near a temperature of 170 nanokelvin and a number density of 2.5 x 1012 per cubic centimeter and could be preserved for more than 15 seconds. Three primary signatures of Bose-Einstein condensation were seen. (i) On top of a broad thermal velocity distribution, a narrow peak appeared that was centered at zero velocity. (ii) The fraction of the atoms that were in this low-velocity peak increased abruptly as the sample temperature was lowered. (iii) The peak exhibited a nonthermal, anisotropic velocity distribution expected of the minimum-energy quantum state of the magnetic trap in contrast to the isotropic, thermal velocity distribution observed in the broad uncondensed fraction.
