On the Riemannian metrical structure in the classical statistical equilibrium thermodynamics. (English) Zbl 0637.53085

Janyszek, Henryk

Rep. Math. Phys. 24, No. 1, 1-10 (1986).

The main purpose of this paper is to find a correspondence between the metric structures (Riemannian structure) arising in a natural way in statistical equilibrium physics and metric structures on the (phenomenological) thermodynamical surfaces. A geometrical analysis of Gibbs states presented in the logarithmic scale is done. This paper is restricted to the description of an ideal gas composed of n non- interacting particles in connection with the Boguslavski distribution.
