Thermodynamics of the self-gravitating ring model

Abstract: We present the phase diagram, in both the microcanonical and the canonical ensemble, of the self-gravitating-ring (SGR) model, which describes the motion of equal point masses constrained on a ring and subject to 3D gravitational attraction. If the interaction is regularized at short distances by the introduction of a softening parameter, a global entropy maximum always exists, and thermodynamics is well defined in the mean-field limit. However, ensembles are not equivalent and a phase of negative specific hea… Show more

“…Such possibilities have first been recognized and studied in the context of self gravitating systems [1, 27,11]. Afterwards, ensemble inequivalence and negative specific heat have been observed or predicted in a number of different physical systems: two dimensional turbulence [12,28,29], plasma physics [28,19], spin systems or toy models [22,25], or self gravitating systems in situations different from the simple initial case [7,5,3,4,6,30,9]. A detailed description of each of these cases is provided in [26].…”

“…We study the phase transitions of this system and how they evolve when ε is varied. Please see [30] for a detailed discussion. Figure 1 shows the caloric curve T (U ) for ε = 10 −2 , where T is the temperature and U is the energy.…”

“…Such systems are now studied in many fields of physics, from Bose condensates [38,39] to the quark-gluon plasma [40,41], from cluster melting [6,42] to nuclear fragmentation [7]. Moreover, such inequivalences may survive at the infinite size limit for systems involving long range forces such as self-gravitating objects [3,4,5].…”
