Nonequivalent ensembles and metastability

Published 2005-01-17Version 1

This paper reviews a number of fundamental connections that exist between nonequivalent microcanonical and canonical ensembles, the appearance of first-order phase transitions in the canonical ensemble, and thermodynamic metastable behavior.
