A Review of the Classical Canonical Ensemble Treatment of Newton’s Gravitation

Abstract: It is common lore that the canonical gravitational partition function Z associated with the classical Boltzmann-Gibbs (BG) exponential distribution cannot be built up because of mathematical pitfalls. The integral needed for writing up Z diverges. We review here how to avoid this pitfall and obtain a (classical) statistical mechanics of Newton’s gravitation. This is done using (1) the analytical extension treatment obtained of Gradshteyn and Rizhik and (2) the well known dimensional regularization … Show more

“…The first one is plotted in Figure 4. We encounter again here the high temperature effect already reported in [2] [12] [13] (and references therein) and in precedent graphs: a high temperature upper bound, beyond which our treatment becomes invalid. Such bound manifests itself in making negative these types of expectation values at temperatures of the order of 10 22 Kelvin.…”

“…This difficulty can be circumvented by using a combination of 1) the convolution theory of ultrahyperfunctions [5,6,7,8,9] and 2) the Guelfand regularization method [10]. This combination has been used successfully in the references [11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30] 2 Three-dimensional Partition Function…”

“…Se define entonces la convolución-producto como el término independiente de (ν − ν 0 ) del desarrollo de Laurent pertinente para obtener un producto en un anillo con cero divisores. Muestro un ejemplo de aplicación deéste método en el apéndice D. Para una explicación más detallada y ejemplos, el lector puede consultar [21,[101][102][103][104][105][106][107].…”
