The case of hard spheres in higher dimension is also addressed and it is shown there that our arguments --which avoid any mathematical complication-- allow to recover the virial form of the equation of state in a direct way.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2008-09-03T10:54:41.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "hard sphere fluids", "kac tail", "dimensional hard rod equation", "direct way", "simple derivation" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "American Journal of Physics", "year": 2008, "month": "Aug", "volume": 76, "number": 8, "pages": 777 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008AmJPh..76..777T" } } }
