The microcanonical ensemble may show richer behavior than the canonical one, including negative specific heats and other non-common behaviors. We propose a classification of microcanonical phase transitions, of their link to canonical ones, and of the possible situations of ensemble inequivalence. We discuss previously observed phase transitions and inequivalence in self-gravitating, two-dimensional fluid dynamics and non-neutral plasmas. We note a number of generic situations that have not yet been observed in such systems.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2004-10-20T14:30:05.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "long range interactions", "ensemble inequivalence", "classification", "two-dimensional fluid dynamics", "generic situations" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1007/s10955-004-2059-0" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 42, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 639416 } } }
