Classical configuration, phase and reference spaces

1 · Prerequisites

2 · Summary

This page fixes finite classical configuration and cotangent phase spaces, their symplectic and Liouville reference structures, measurable states and observable integrability. It proves regular compact-shell coarea and its Hamiltonian invariance under the full stated choice and flow hypotheses, derives the kinetic-plus-potential shell marginal, and records Liouville transport of fine-grained entropy. Canonical, grand, microcanonical and isothermal-isobaric laws are adopted preparation postulates with explicit normalizability and reference-measure conditions; response and entropy identities are conditional finite-model deductions. The page also fixes a static one-particle electromagnetic coupling and proves its finite canonical partition invariance under static gauge shifts. It asserts neither ergodicity nor relaxation, ensemble equivalence, quantum validity, or experimental realization. Full AC is an explicit prerequisite for the published regular-shell measure supplier and is retained by its consumers.

Classical configuration, cotangent phase and reference measures

Definition

Assume the Axiom of Countable Choice, the exact choice strength required by Tautological one-form on a cotangent bundle to construct the smooth cotangent manifold. Let d,N≥1, let Q be a smooth d-manifold, and choose a countable smooth-chart subcover of its atlas. Such a subcover is obtained from a countable basis of the second-countable topology by choosing, for each basis element contained in a chart domain, one such chart domain; this countable selection is covered by the stated Axiom of Countable Choice. Give QN:=QN the product topology and the product smooth structure generated by the charts (U1×⋯×UN, (q1,…,qN)↦(ϕ1(q1),…,ϕN(qN))), where each (Ui,ϕi) belongs to the chosen countable subcover of charts of Q. These images are open in RdN, and their transition maps are componentwise smooth, so they form a smooth atlas of dimension n=dN; the finite product of the countable chart family is countable. Its generated maximal atlas is the product smooth structure in the convention of Smooth manifolds and their smooth charts. The induced cotangent charts are indexed by these base charts and form a countable atlas of ΓN. Its configuration space is QN. Its phase space is the cotangent bundle ΓN:=T∗QN, whose points are pairs (q,p) with p∈Tq∗QN. Let πN:T∗QN→QN be the cotangent-bundle projection. The tautological one-form and canonical symplectic form are λ(q,p)(ξ):=p(dπNξ),ωN:=−dλ. Thus in an induced cotangent chart (q1,…,qn,p1,…,pn), λ=∑j=1npj dqj,ωN=∑j=1ndqj∧dpj. The cotangent supplier proves ωN closed and nondegenerate under the same Countable Choice premise. On an open phase chart this is exactly the standard form of A phase domain, its canonical one-form and its standard symplectic two-form; The standard two-form of a phase domain is closed and nondegenerate, with contraction ιvω=∑iai dpi−∑ibi dqi gives its closedness, contraction and nondegeneracy coordinate calculations.

Let FN:=B(ΓN) be the Borel sigma-algebra generated by the topology of ΓN (The Borel sigma-algebra of a topological space). The Liouville density, denoted dΛN:=∣ωN∧n∣/n!, is the positive density whose coordinate density in every induced cotangent chart is dq1⋯dqn dp1⋯dpn. Define its Borel measure ΛN explicitly as follows. If ΓN=∅, set ΛN(∅)=0. Otherwise choose an at-most-countable induced cotangent atlas (Vk,ψk)k∈J indexed by J⊆N, order J by the usual order, and set Ek:=Vk∖⋃j∈J, j<kVj(k∈J). For A∈FN, put ΛN(A):=∑k∈Jλ2n(ψk(A∩Ek)), where λ2n is Lebesgue measure on the chart image. Each Ek is Borel, and each chart map is a homeomorphism, so the terms are defined on Borel sets. The coordinate transitions preserve ωN because ωN=−dλ is intrinsic; hence they preserve ωNn/n! and have absolute Jacobian one. For two atlases, the intersections of their disjoint chart pieces form a countable common Borel refinement. On each nonempty refinement piece the coordinate transition is a C1 diffeomorphism with absolute Jacobian one, so the change-of-variables theorem applied to its indicator A C^1 diffeomorphism satisfies the change-of-variables formula for nonnegative Lebesgue measurable functions gives the same measure from either atlas. Summing over the refinement proves atlas independence. Countable additivity follows because the chart images of disjoint Borel sets remain disjoint within each Ek and Lebesgue measure is countably additive. For the resulting nonnegative array akℓ, both ∑k∑ℓakℓ and ∑ℓ∑kakℓ are the supremum of the same finite subsums of {akℓ}, using the nonnegative extended-sum convention of Measures on sigma-algebras. Hence the sums reorder and ΛN is a measure with the displayed coordinate density. Given any finite constant cN>0, define the labelled reference measure mN:=cNΛN on (ΓN,FN). It is sigma-finite: QN is countable-atlased as just constructed, so it is covered by countably many cotangent chart images. Each chart image is open in R2n and is covered by the countable family of bounded open boxes with rational endpoints whose closures lie in that chart image: every point of an open set lies in one such box. Each box has finite Euclidean Lebesgue measure, and its chart preimage therefore has finite mN-measure because the Liouville coordinate density is the constant cN. The countably many chart-box preimages cover ΓN and establish sigma-finiteness directly, without a sigma-compactness supplier. The constant cN is mathematical normalization data; this definition assigns no physical unit to it.

For a partition of the particle labels into species classes of sizes N1,…,Ns, let G:=SN1×⋯×SNs act on QN=QN by permuting factors within each class and on T∗QN by the cotangent lift. In canonical coordinates each lift permutes corresponding q and p coordinates, so it preserves ωN, ΛN and mN. Let ΠN:ΓN→ΓN/G be the orbit map, equip the orbit set with the quotient sigma-algebra Fquot:={B⊆ΓN/G:ΠN−1(B) is Borel in ΓN}, and define the quotient reference measure by mˉN(B):=1∏a=1sNa! mN(ΠN−1(B)). This is a measure because inverse images preserve complements and countable disjoint unions and mN is countably additive. The stated invariance makes it the normalized quotient pushforward. It is a measurable quotient; no smooth quotient structure at configurations with stabilizers is asserted. For one species the factor is 1/N!.

The quotient factor here is mathematical counting data. A physical postulate determines when labels are operationally indistinguishable and how the reference scale is interpreted; neither follows from the cotangent geometry.

Equipartition identity with explicit integrated boundary terms

Statement

Let (Y,G,ν) be a sigma-finite measure space, β>0, and H:R×Y→R a product-measurable function whose map z↦H(z,y) is C1 for ν-almost every y. Set Z:=∫R×Ye−βH(z,y) d(z,y)∈(0,∞), where d(z,y) is Lebesgue measure on R times ν. Assume ∫R×Y∣z∂zH(z,y)∣e−βH(z,y) d(z,y)<∞. For R>0 let BR:=∫Y(Re−βH(R,y)+Re−βH(−R,y)) dν(y), and assume BR→0 as R→∞. Define ⟨F⟩β:=Z−1∫F(z,y)e−βH(z,y) d(z,y) whenever the integral is absolutely convergent. Then ⟨z∂zH⟩β=β−1. For finite endpoints a<b, assume the endpoint integral below is finite and put Z[a,b]:=∫[a,b]×Ye−βH d(z,y). If 0<Z[a,b]<∞, define ⟨F⟩[a,b]:=Z[a,b]−1∫[a,b]×YFe−βH d(z,y). Then the exact boundary identity is ⟨z∂zH⟩[a,b]=β−1(1−Z[a,b]−1∫Y(be−βH(b,y)−ae−βH(a,y)) dν(y)),

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The product measure space, β, H, the finite positive normalization Z, the integrable moment, and the vanishing integrated boundary term BR.

[A1]

The measure factors are sigma-finite, H is measurable and sectionwise C1, and Z and ∫∣zHz∣e−βH are finite with Z>0.

[A2]

The two integrated endpoint contributions tend to zero, equivalently BR→0.

[A3]

For the finite-interval clause, 0<Z[a,b]<∞ and the stated integrated endpoint expression is finite.

[F1]

Tonelli's theorem permits section integration for nonnegative product-measurable functions on sigma-finite factors (Tonelli's theorem for nonnegative measurable functions on a sigma-finite product).

[F2]

Dominated convergence passes limits through an integral under one common integrable majorant (Dominated convergence).

Proof

Given: [A1]–[A3] and the Tonelli and dominated-convergence interfaces [F1]–[F2].

1.1A1algebra

For almost every y, differentiate the product in the z coordinate: ∂z(ze−βH(z,y))=e−βH(z,y)−βz∂zH(z,y)e−βH(z,y). The absolute value of the right side is bounded by (1+β∣z∂zH∣)e−βH, which is integrable by [A1].

2.1A1F1step 1.1

Integrate this identity on [−R,R]×Y. Absolute integrability and [F1] justify integrating first in z and then in y, so ∫[−R,R]×Ye−βH d(z,y)−β∫[−R,R]×Yz∂zHe−βH d(z,y)=∫Y(Re−βH(R,y)+Re−βH(−R,y)) dν(y)=BR.

3.1A1A2F2step 2.1

The integrand in the first term is nonnegative and integrable, while the second integrand is absolutely integrable by [A1]. Their restrictions to [−R,R]×Y converge pointwise almost everywhere to the full integrands and are dominated by those integrable functions. Applying [F2] to both terms and using [A2] gives Z−β∫z∂zHe−βH d(z,y)=0. Divide by βZ>0 to obtain the stated identity.

4.1A1A3F1step 1.1algebra∎

For finite a<b, integrate the same derivative over [a,b]×Y. The boundary evaluation is ∫Y(be−βH(b,y)−ae−βH(a,y)) dν(y)=Z[a,b]−β∫[a,b]×Yz∂zHe−βH d(z,y). Dividing by βZ[a,b] and rearranging yields the displayed finite-endpoint formula.

Statistical states, densities, observables and expectations

Definition

Let (ΓN,FN,mN) be a sigma-finite phase-reference measure space from Classical configuration, cotangent phase and reference measures; the cotangent construction uses the stated Axiom of Countable Choice (The Axiom of Countable Choice (ACω)). A statistical state is a probability measure P on (ΓN,FN), meaning a countably additive measure with P(ΓN)=1 (Measures on sigma-algebras). A density of P relative to mN is a measurable ρ:ΓN→[0,∞] such that P(A)=∫Aρ dmN(A∈FN),∫ΓNρ dmN=1. Equivalently, P=ρ mN in the definition of a measure with density (The measure with density f relative to μ); integration against that density has the meaning supplied by Integrating against a density agrees with integrating the product. A state need not have a density.

An observable is a real-valued measurable function A:ΓN→R (Extended-real-valued measurable functions). Its expectation ⟨A⟩P:=∫A dP is used only when A is integrable, that is, ∫∣A∣ dP<∞ (Integrable real and complex functions, and their integrals). Its variance is Var⁡P(A):=∫(A−⟨A⟩P)2 dP when A2 is integrable. For square-integrable A,B, their covariance is Cov⁡P(A,B):=∫(A−⟨A⟩P)(B−⟨B⟩P) dP. These expressions are finite under the stated square-integrability hypotheses. Indeed, P(ΓN)=1 makes 1∈L2(P) with norm 1. By Cauchy-Schwarz inequality for L2, ∫∣A∣ dP≤(∫A2 dP)1/2, so the mean of a square-integrable observable exists. If a=⟨A⟩P, then ∣A−a∣2≤2A2+2a2 makes A−a square-integrable; the same argument applies to B−b. A second application of that inequality gives ∫∣(A−a)(B−b)∣ dP≤∥A−a∥2∥B−b∥2<∞. Thus both the variance and covariance integrals above are well-defined.

If P=ρmN and the integrals are defined, these expectations equal ∫Aρ dmN by Integrating against a density agrees with integrating the product.

A macrostate map is a measurable map M:(ΓN,FN)→(Y,G). Its induced state on Y is the pushforward M∗P(B):=P(M−1(B)) for B∈G. A macrocell associated with a specified measurable cell B∈G is the measurable phase event CB:=M−1(B); its reference size is mN(CB)∈[0,∞]. A singleton fibre M−1({y}) is used as a macrocell only when {y}∈G. For a specified family C⊆G of cells, an entropy assignment means additional data S:C→[−∞,∞]; no particular functional of mN(CB) is stipulated here. Neither a cell's reference size nor a separately chosen entropy assignment is defined to be the expectation or variance of a microscopic observable.

Coarea and invariant probability on compact regular phase shells

Statement

Assume the Axiom of Choice. Let ΓN=T∗QN be a cotangent phase space from Classical configuration, cotangent phase and reference measures, with dim⁡QN=n, and let J⊆R be open. Let H:ΓN→R have a C2 coordinate representative H∘ψ−1 in every canonical cotangent chart ψ; write dH for the resulting differential. Assume dH≠0 on H−1(J) and suppose H−1(K) is compact for every compact K⊂J. Use the real canonical cotangent coordinates z=(q1,…,qn,p1,…,pn) of Classical configuration, cotangent phase and reference measures; this mathematical theorem assigns no physical units to these coordinates.

For a compact regular energy band, take a finite smooth partition of unity {χa} subordinate to canonical cotangent charts. In a chart where ∂iH≠0, write the local energy graph as zi=ha(y,E) and define the weighted shell measure on nonnegative Borel f by μE(f):=cN∑a∫f(y,ha(y,E))χa(y,ha(y,E))∣∂iH(y,ha(y,E))∣−1 dy, where cN>0 is the constant density of the reference measure in canonical coordinates. Then this definition is independent of the chosen finite chart partition and equals the chart expression μE(f)=cN∫ΣEf(z)∣∇zH(z)∣−1 dAz, with ΣE:=H−1({E}) and Euclidean area in each real canonical chart. For every nonnegative Borel f compactly supported in H−1(J), ∫ΓNf dmN=∫JμE(f) dE. If ΣE is nonempty, then 0<μE(1)<∞ and PE:=μE/μE(1) is a probability measure. If a Hamiltonian flow map is a C1 diffeomorphism on a full compact energy band and preserves that band, then PE is invariant under that map for every such regular E. Critical levels and noncompact inverse bands are outside this statement. For its invariance clause, fix a compatible metric on a compact band whose interior contains the shell; such a metric exists by Topological manifolds are metrizable and paracompact.

The same shell measure can be computed after a fixed numerical coordinate normalization. Choose positive real scales ℓj,p0j with a common product ℓjp0j=A>0, and put qj=ℓjQj,pj=p0jPj,F(Q,P)=(q,p),H~=H∘F. The reference density becomes c^N dQ dP with c^N=cNAn. The graph and weighted-area formulas above then use H~, its gradient and Euclidean area in (Q,P), and c^N, with the same energy variable E. They describe the pullback of μE, not a different shell law. The pulled-back forms are F∗λ=A∑jPj dQj,F∗ωN=A∑jdQj∧dPj. For a Hamiltonian trajectory parameterized by its original t, the equations in these coordinates are dQjdt=A−1∂PjH~,dPjdt=−A−1∂QjH~. This chart normalization does not rescale H, E or t.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The cotangent phase space and its Liouville reference measure, the regular compact-band Hamiltonian, and, for the invariance clause, the actual Hamiltonian flow map defined as a diffeomorphism on the full band.

[A1]

Full AC is assumed for the exact Euclidean shell supplier Coarea and invariant measure on compact regular energy shells. It implies the Countable Choice premise used by the change-of-variables supplier (The Axiom of Choice, The Axiom of Countable Choice (ACω)).

[A2]

H is C2, dH is nonzero on the open energy band, compact energy intervals have compact inverse images, and every level considered is nonempty.

[A3]

For invariance, the Hamiltonian map is a C1 diffeomorphism on the whole band and maps that band onto itself.

[F1]

The phase definition gives ΓN=T∗QN, ωN=−dλ, the positive Liouville density dΛN=∣ωNn∣/n!, and local canonical volume density cNdz (Classical configuration, cotangent phase and reference measures).

[F2]

In the Euclidean phase-domain case, the published shell theorem assumes full AC, a C2 canonical Hamiltonian, compact inverse bands and a nonzero gradient; it proves coarea, positive finite mass of nonempty regular shells, and invariance for a full-band Hamiltonian diffeomorphism (Coarea and invariant measure on compact regular energy shells).

[F3]

A regular level is locally a C1 graph; if ∂iH≠0, its energy graph has ∂Eh=1/∂iH (The Euclidean implicit function theorem with derivative formula).

[F4]

A C1 diffeomorphism changes a nonnegative Lebesgue integral by the absolute Jacobian under Countable Choice (A C^1 diffeomorphism satisfies the change-of-variables formula for nonnegative Lebesgue measurable functions, The Axiom of Countable Choice (ACω)).

[F5]

Nonnegative product integrals may be evaluated in either order on sigma-finite factors (Tonelli's theorem for nonnegative measurable functions on a sigma-finite product).

[F6]

One common integrable majorant justifies continuity limits under an integral (Dominated convergence).

[F7]

The Hamiltonian convention is ιXHωN=dH, so in a canonical cotangent chart XH=(∇pH,−∇qH), as in Coarea and invariant measure on compact regular energy shells. For H∈C2, step 1.2 of Coarea and invariant measure on compact regular energy shells proves in every canonical chart that the C1 flow derivative satisfies J˙t=DXH(Φtz)Jt, and hence ddtdet⁡Jt=(div⁡XH)(Φtz)det⁡Jt=0, with det⁡J0=1, because the mixed second partials of H agree. Thus its local coordinate Jacobian is one at the present regularity. The smooth case is also Liouville volume preservation; a measure-preserving map preserves integrals of nonnegative measurable and integrable functions (Integral invariance under measure-preserving maps).

[F8]

Distance to a nonempty closed set is continuous and 1-Lipschitz (∣d(x,A)−d(y,A)∣≤d(x,y), so the distance to a fixed nonempty set is 1-Lipschitz). Finite measures agreeing on a generating π-system and on the whole space agree on the generated sigma algebra (Finite measures agreeing on a generating pi-system and on the whole space are equal).

[F9]

A topological manifold is metrizable and paracompact (Topological manifolds are metrizable and paracompact).

Proof

Given: [A1]–[A3] and the phase-space, coarea, change-of-variables, Liouville, convergence, metric and measure-uniqueness interfaces [F1]–[F9].

1.1A1A2F1F2algebra

In a canonical open phase domain O⊆R2n with mN=cNdz, hypotheses [A1]–[A2] match the published Euclidean theorem [F2]. It yields the graph-partition measure, the coarea identity, and finite positive mass on each nonempty regular level. Multiplying both the volume measure and every shell measure by the same positive constant cN preserves the identity and leaves PE unchanged.

2.1A2F1F3F4F5step 1.1constructalgebra

For a compact cotangent energy band, choose finitely many canonical charts whose smaller coordinate neighborhoods cover the band and whose closures lie inside the charts. In chart coordinates, b(s)=e−1/s for s>0 and b(s)=0 for s≤0 is smooth. For a coordinate ball of squared radius R2 centered at z0, b(R2−∣z−z0∣2) is a smooth bump, positive on the ball and zero outside its closure. Choose finitely many such balls whose smaller concentric balls cover the band and whose closures lie inside charts. Dividing the bumps by their positive sum near the band gives a finite partition ∑aχa=1 on a neighborhood of the band. This uses only a finite subcover. Refine it so that one fixed ∂iH is nonzero on each chart support. By [F3], each local level is a graph zi=ha(y,E). The map (y,E)↦(y,ha(y,E)) has absolute Jacobian ∣∂Eha∣=∣∂iH∣−1, so [F4] and [F5] give the coarea identity for fχa. Implicit differentiation gives ∂yha=−∂yH/∂iH, hence 1+∣∇yha∣2=∣∇zH∣/∣∂iH∣. Thus the chart term is exactly the displayed weighted area integral. Cotangent coordinate changes have block Jacobian (Dq0∗Dq−T), whose determinant has absolute value one; therefore the Liouville density and the chart integrals agree on overlaps. Summing the finite partition proves the coarea identity and partition independence on the cotangent band.

3.1A2F1step 2.1

The shell is a closed subset of a compact inverse band, hence compact. A finite set of graph charts with ∣∇zH∣ bounded away from zero gives μE(1)<∞. A nonempty shell contains a graph patch with a nonempty open coordinate domain and positive continuous chart density, so μE(1)>0.

3.2A3F1F4F7step 2.1algebra

Along a Hamiltonian trajectory, ddtH(Φtz)=dH(XH)(Φtz)=ωN(XH,XH)=0; therefore the flow preserves energy. The C2 determinant argument in [F7] gives absolute coordinate Jacobian one for each canonical local flow. Since the reference density is cNdz, [F4] proves measure preservation on each chart; composing local flow maps retains this property. Refine the finite source and target chart covers of the compact band into disjoint Borel pieces on which each chart representation of Φt applies, and sum the COV identities to obtain preservation of mN on the band. Write the fixed band as D=H−1([a,b]), with [a,b]⊂J and the shell of interest at an energy in (a,b). For continuous f on D and q∈Cc((a,b)), all following compositions are evaluated only on D. By [F7]'s integral-invariance clause and step 2.1, ∫abq(E)μE(f∘Φt) dE=∫Dq(H(z))f(Φtz) dmN=∫Dq(H(z))f(z) dmN=∫abq(E)μE(f) dE. The coarea applications extend these products by zero outside D; the support of q lies away from the band endpoints, so the extensions have compact support in H−1(J).

4.1F6step 2.1step 3.2

On any compact subinterval of (a,b), use finitely many graph charts as in step 2.1. The derivatives ∣∂iH∣ have a positive lower bound on their compact chart supports, and the chart domains, f and Φt are bounded there. Thus the graph integrands have one finite integrable majorant. [F6] gives continuity of both E↦μE(f∘Φt) and E↦μE(f) on that subinterval. Their difference integrates to zero against every compactly supported continuous q by step 3.2. If it were nonzero at one energy, continuity would give a neighborhood where it has one strict sign; a nonnegative continuous bump q supported there would make the integral nonzero. Hence the two shell integrals agree for every regular E∈(a,b), including the shell of interest; no flow outside D is used.

5.1A3F6F8F9step 3.1step 4.1

Fix a closed subset F of a shell. If F=∅, both the shell measure and its flow pushforward assign it zero. Otherwise, in the compatible band metric from [F9], F is closed and the shell is compactly contained in the band interior. Choose δ>0 so the closed δ-neighborhood of the shell lies in the band, and let η(z)=max⁡(0,1−dist(z,ΣE)/δ). It is a continuous cutoff equal to one on the shell and supported in the band. The functions gk(z)=η(z)max⁡(0,1−k dist(z,F)) converge pointwise on the shell to 1F and are bounded by one. Apply the equality proved in step 4.1 to each gk, then [F6] for the finite shell measures gives equality of μE and its flow pushforward on every closed subset. Both measures have the same finite total mass by step 3.1; closed sets form a generating π-system. Apply [F8] and divide by μE(1)>0 from step 3.1. Thus PE is invariant for every such regular energy.

6.1F1F4F7step 2.1algebra∎

The diagonal chart map F has absolute Jacobian ∏jℓjp0j=An, so [F4] transforms cNdq dp into c^NdQ dP. Applying the graph substitution of step 2.1 in the new coordinates gives its displayed formula with H~ and c^N; changing charts back by [F4] gives exactly the same localized shell integrals. Direct substitution in λ=∑jpjdqj and ωN=∑jdqj∧dpj proves the two pullback formulas. By the convention in [F7], contracting XH into that form gives the canonical equations q˙j=∂pjH, p˙j=−∂qjH. Since ∂PjH~=p0j∂pjH and ∂QjH~=ℓj∂qjH, division of the two velocity components by ℓj and p0j proves the stated A−1 factors in the unchanged parameter t.

Classical particle counting and physical observables

Physical scope

Finite-N classical phase spaces with explicitly declared species and observationally indistinguishable labels; no derivation of indistinguishability or quantum statistics.

Postulate

For a declared classical model with Na operationally indistinguishable particles of each species a, label those particles by {(a,i):1≤i≤Na} on the auxiliary labelled cover, and let SNa denote the permutation group of that species' finite label set. The product group G=∏aSNa acts on the labelled phase space ΓN=T∗QN by the cotangent lifts of within-species permutations. Let ΠN:ΓN→ΓN/G be its measurable orbit map from Classical configuration, cotangent phase and reference measures. Choose a0>0 as a fixed primitive reference parameter with action units J s; Dimensions and SI unit conventions of the non-relativistic classical mechanics framework supplies its dimension, not its value or the choice of this parameter. Here d is the number of spatial dimensions and N=∑aNa. No numerical value or identification of a0 with Planck's constant is imposed.

Use the weighted labelled lift mNphys:=1∏aNa! a0dN dΛN=1∏aNa! a0dN dq dp on ΓN, where dΛN is the Liouville density and the last expression is its coordinate density in canonical charts, with coordinates read in SI numerical units. The coordinate volume dq dp has action dimension (J s)dN, so the reference is dimensionless. The physical quotient reference is mˉNphys(B):=mNphys(ΠN−1(B))(B∈Fquot). Thus mNphys is on the labelled cover ΓN, and mˉNphys=(ΠN)∗mNphys is on ΓN/G; with cN=a0−dN, the latter is exactly the normalized quotient reference of Classical configuration, cotangent phase and reference measures.

Physical observables for indistinguishable particles are measurable G-invariant functions A:ΓN→R, equivalently measurable functions Aˉ on the quotient with A=Aˉ∘ΠN. For every such observable with an integrable expectation, its integral against mNphys equals the quotient integral against mˉNphys. A labelled density represents a physical state on the quotient only if it is invariant under G almost everywhere with respect to mNphys; an invariant representative may then be used. In particular, an indistinguishable-particle Hamiltonian must be invariant under these permutations (or agree almost everywhere with its permuted versions when only its Gibbs density is at issue). A label-specific coordinate statistic on the lift is not itself a quotient observable. Under a permutation-invariant state its marginal law can instead be interpreted as the law of a uniformly selected particle within the same species, or of a uniformly selected coordinate of the same type within that species. Symmetric sums and averages within each species are quotient observables. Calculations of labelled momentum components in Canonical momentum distribution and equipartition use this symmetric labelled lift, and their permutation-invariant kinetic sums and averages are physical observables.

If labels are operationally distinguishable, omit the corresponding permutation factor and use the labelled phase space directly. The convention is part of the preparation and reference model; it is not deduced from Hamiltonian mechanics. Whether a quantity is represented by a gauge-dependent canonical momentum or by a gauge-invariant mechanical momentum is fixed by the stated model and gauge convention. No quantum exchange law, actual preparation mechanism, or empirical indistinguishability test is asserted.

For each compact K⊂Θ, assume an integrable GK satisfies w(x)eθ⋅X(x)(1+∑a∣Xa(x)∣2)≤GK(x)(θ∈K). Then Z(θ)=∫weθ⋅X dm is finite, strictly positive and C2, and the probability density ρθ=Z(θ)−1weθ⋅X defines dPθ=ρθ dm as in The measure with density f relative to μ. For any integrable real A, write ⟨A⟩θ:=∫A dPθ; for square-integrable real A,B, define Cov⁡θ(A,B):=∫(A−⟨A⟩θ)(B−⟨B⟩θ) dPθ.

For every compact K⊂Θ, the stated GK is integrable and dominates the zeroth, first and second exponential moments.

[F1]

Dominated convergence passes pointwise limits through an integral when the functions have a common integrable majorant (Dominated convergence).

[F4]

The measure with density is defined on an arbitrary measure space (The measure with density f relative to μ). Integration against it equals integration of the density-weighted nonnegative function (Integrating against a density agrees with integrating the product); applying this to positive and negative parts gives the same identity for integrable real functions. Expectations and covariances here have the explicit integral definitions in the Statement, agreeing with Statistical states, densities, observables and expectations when the reference is a phase-reference space.

Proof

Given: [A1] and the integration, exponential and state interfaces [F1]–[F4].

1.1A1F3algebra

For each fixed θ∈Θ, choose a compact neighborhood K of θ. The bound in [A1] implies ∫weθ⋅Xdm<∞. On {w>0} the integrand is strictly positive by [F3]; since this set is the countable union of the sets {weθ⋅X≥1/k}, at least one has positive measure. Hence Z(θ)>0 as well as finite.

2.1A1F1F2step 1.1algebra

For coordinate a, choose a compact neighborhood K of θ containing every θ+sea with ∣s∣≤ϵ. The mean-value theorem and chain rule [F2] bound the difference quotient by w∣Xa∣sup⁡∣s∣≤ϵe(θ+sea)⋅X. Since ∣Xa∣≤1+∑c∣Xc∣2, [A1] bounds this entire supremum pointwise by the single integrable GK. Thus [F1] gives ∂aZ=∫wXaeθ⋅Xdm. Applying the same argument to the first derivative, with ∣XaXb∣≤(∣Xa∣2+∣Xb∣2)/2, gives ∂b∂aZ=∫wXaXbeθ⋅Xdm. The same local envelopes and [F1] give continuity of these derivatives, hence Z∈C2.

3.1F3F4step 2.1algebra∎

By [F3], dividing the first-derivative formula by Z>0 gives ∂alog⁡Z=⟨Xa⟩θ. Differentiating once more yields ∂b∂alog⁡Z=∫XaXbweθ⋅XdmZ−∫Xaweθ⋅Xdm∫Xbweθ⋅XdmZ2=⟨XaXb⟩−⟨Xa⟩⟨Xb⟩. The envelope makes ∫Xa2 dPθ finite; ∣Xa∣≤1+Xa2 and 2∣XaXb∣≤Xa2+Xb2 give finite means and mixed moments. Expanding the centered product in the Statement's covariance definition, and using Pθ(Ω)=1, identifies the displayed difference with that covariance. For v∈Rr its quadratic form is ⟨(v⋅(X−⟨X⟩))2⟩≥0, proving positive semidefiniteness.

Kinetic-plus-potential shell marginals and moments

Statement

Let integers d,N≥1 satisfy n=dN≥3. Choose a basis b1,…,bd of Rd and the full-rank lattice Λ:=∑i=1dZbi. The one-particle flat torus is Q:=Rd/Λ with its quotient Euclidean metric and translation-invariant volume V:=∣det⁡(b1,…,bd)∣. Write ΛN:=Λ×⋯×Λ (N factors) and set QN:=QN≅Rn/ΛN, whose position volume is VN. Use the global parallel cotangent trivialization ΓN≅QN×Rn and the product of quotient Lebesgue volume dq with fibre Lebesgue measure dp in the canonical reference mN=cNdq dp of Classical configuration, cotangent phase and reference measures. Let mj>0 for 1≤j≤n, and let U:QN→R be bounded with a smooth lift U~:Rn→R satisfying U~(x+λ)=U~(x) for all x∈Rn and λ∈ΛN. Set H(q,p)=∑j=1npj22mj+U(q),α=n/2,Cm=∏j=1n2mj. Let Bn be the Euclidean volume of the unit ball in Rn. Fix an energy E that is a regular value of H and whose shell ΣE=H−1({E}) is nonempty. For every continuous g:QN→R, the coarea shell measure from Coarea and invariant probability on compact regular phase shells satisfies μE(g∘πN)=cNCmαBn∫QNg(q)(E−U(q))+α−1 dq, where x+=max⁡(x,0). Thus the position marginal of PE has density proportional to (E−U)+α−1. In the scaled momentum coordinates rj=pj/2mj, the coarea shell measure over each q with E>U(q) has fiber factor dAr/(2∣r∣) on the sphere ∣r∣=E−U(q). Define σE,q as Euclidean surface area on that sphere divided by its total area. It satisfies ∫pj22mj dσE,q=E−U(q)n,∫∑jpj22mj dPE=∫(E−U(q)) dPE(q). The result concerns the full kinetic-plus-potential shell; it does not replace it by a shell of potential energy alone.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The flat compact configuration torus, positive masses, bounded smooth potential, regular nonempty full shell, and full AC for the coarea supplier.

[A1]

Assume the Axiom of Choice required by Coarea and invariant probability on compact regular phase shells and its published Euclidean supplier (The Axiom of Choice).

[A2]

QN is compact, U is smooth, and E is a regular value; therefore ΣE is a compact smooth shell and a compact energy band exists around E.

[F1]

The phase reference is cNdq dp in canonical coordinates (Classical configuration, cotangent phase and reference measures).

[F2]

The compact-band shell measure disintegrates phase volume over energy and equals the coarea density (Coarea and invariant probability on compact regular phase shells).

[F3]

A nonnegative C1 change of variables transforms Euclidean integrals by the absolute Jacobian under the stated choice premise (A C^1 diffeomorphism satisfies the change-of-variables formula for nonnegative Lebesgue measurable functions, The Axiom of Choice).

[F4]

Dominated convergence permits differentiation limits with one integrable majorant (Dominated convergence).

[F5]

Finite measures agreeing on a generating π-system agree on its generated sigma-algebra (Finite measures agreeing on a generating pi-system and on the whole space are equal).

[F6]

Nonnegative product integrals may be evaluated by Tonelli on sigma-finite factors (Tonelli's theorem for nonnegative measurable functions on a sigma-finite product).

Proof

Given: [A1]–[A2] and the phase-volume, coarea, change-of-variables, convergence, uniqueness and product-integration facts [F1]–[F6].

1.1A1A2F1F3F6algebra

Put rj=pj/2mj, so dp=Cm dr and the kinetic energy is ∣r∣2. For t≥0, scalar dilation r=t u has Jacobian tn/2, so the r-volume of {∣r∣2≤t} is Bntα. Integrating over q therefore gives the sublevel volume mN{H<E}=cNCmBn∫QN(E−U(q))+α dq. The level boundary has zero phase volume: in each finite regular graph chart, every one-dimensional vertical section is empty or a singleton, so [F6] gives zero ambient measure; finitely many charts cover the shell.

2.1A2F2F4step 1.1

Choose E−<E in J and vary the upper endpoint E in a compact subinterval of J. The coarea disintegration [F2], applied to the compact band H−1([E−,E]), gives the volume of {E−<H<E} as ∫E−Eμs(1) ds. The explicit sublevel formula in step 1.1 makes this band volume F(E)−F(E−), where F(E)=cNCmBn∫(E−U)+αdq. Its difference quotients are bounded on compact E intervals by a finite constant because QN is compact and U bounded; [F4] gives F′(E)=cNCmαBn∫(E−U)+α−1dq. The finite graph-chart formula in [F2], with ∣∂iH∣ bounded below on smaller compact chart supports, makes s↦μs(1) continuous by [F4]. The fundamental theorem of calculus therefore gives F′(E)=μE(1) at every regular E.

3.1A2F2F4F5step 2.1algebra

Repeating the radial calculation in step 1.1 and the local energy-derivative argument in step 2.1 with the bounded factor g(q) gives the displayed identity for every continuous g. The two finite Borel measures on QN consequently agree on continuous test functions; approximating indicators of closed sets by q↦max⁡(0,1−k dist(q,F)) and applying dominated convergence shows they agree on closed sets, and [F5] extends equality to all Borel sets. Dividing by the positive total shell mass proves the position-marginal assertion.

4.1A2F2F3step 3.1algebra∎

Fix q with E>U(q) and put R=E−U(q). On a sphere chart where rj≠0, solve rj=h(q,r′,E) with ∣r∣=R. Implicit differentiation gives ∣∂Eh∣=1/(2∣rj∣) and ∇(q,r′)h=(−∇U/(2rj),−r′/rj). Consequently the full graph-area factor is 1+∣∇(q,r′)h∣2=∣∇q,rH∣/(2∣rj∣), while its fixed-q sphere-area factor is 1+∣∇r′h∣2=R/∣rj∣. Thus dAfull/∣∇H∣=dq dr′/(2∣rj∣)=dq dAr/(2R), so the local chart coarea expression [F2], up to the common factor cNCm, has the asserted fiber factor. Orthogonal coordinate permutations preserve Euclidean surface area by their unit tangent Jacobian, so all rj2 have equal averages under normalized area σE,q. Their sum is the constant R2, hence each average is R2/n=(E−U(q))/n. Since pj2/(2mj)=rj2, this proves the first fiber identity. The total kinetic energy equals E−U(q) pointwise on ΣE, and integration against PE proves the last identity.

Liouville transport and fine-grained entropy invariance

Statement

Let D⊆ΓN be an open invariant domain for a C2 Hamiltonian H, and let its actual Hamiltonian flow Φt:D→D be defined as a C1 diffeomorphism for each time t considered, with Φ−t=Φt−1. Let mN=cNΛN be the Liouville reference measure of Classical configuration, cotangent phase and reference measures. If P0=ρ0mN is a probability state, define its transported density by ρt(z)=ρ0(Φ−tz). Then ρt is normalized and, for every measurable f for which the integrals exist, ∫Df(z)ρt(z) dmN(z)=∫Df(Φtz)ρ0(z) dmN(z). If additionally ∫D∣ρ0log⁡ρ0∣ dmN<∞, with 0log⁡0:=0, then the fine-grained reference-relative entropy S(ρ):=−k∫Dρlog⁡ρ dmN(k>0) is constant under this transport. This is an identity for the transported density; it asserts no relaxation, equilibration or entropy increase.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The invariant domain, actual diffeomorphic Hamiltonian flow, normalized initial density and the stated entropy integrability.

[A1]

H∈C2(D,R) and for each considered t, the actual flow Φt is a C1 diffeomorphism of D onto itself with inverse Φ−t.

[A2]

ρ0≥0, ∫Dρ0dmN=1, and ∫D∣ρ0log⁡ρ0∣dmN<∞ for the entropy assertion.

[F1]

The phase reference has Liouville volume density (Classical configuration, cotangent phase and reference measures).

[F2]

In a canonical chart, XH=(Hp,−Hq) is C1. For its C1 flow, differentiating the flow integral equation in the initial point gives J˙t=DXH(Φtz)Jt with J0=I. Differentiating the determinant gives ddtdet⁡Jt=(div⁡XH)(Φtz)det⁡Jt=0: the continuous mixed second partials of H agree. Thus each canonical local flow has Jacobian one at the stated C2 regularity. The smooth case is also Liouville volume preservation.

[F3]

A measure-preserving map preserves integrals of nonnegative measurable and integrable functions (Integral invariance under measure-preserving maps).

[F5]

Densities, expectations and integrability are interpreted relative to the declared measure (Statistical states, densities, observables and expectations).

Proof

Given: [A1]–[A2] and the Liouville and measure-transport interfaces [F1]–[F5].

1.1A1A2F1F2F3F4

By [F1]–[F2], canonical local flow maps have Jacobian one and preserve the constant coordinate reference density. Composition retains this property along each flow segment. Apply [F4] to obtain preservation of measure on each source/target canonical chart pair. A countable atlas partitions D into countably many disjoint Borel chart pieces; summing their measure identities proves global mN-preservation. Apply [F3] to the nonnegative function ρ0 and the inverse flow to obtain ∫Dρt dmN=∫Dρ0(Φ−tz) dmN(z)=∫Dρ0(z) dmN(z)=1. Thus ρt is a probability density.

2.1A1F3F4step 1.1algebra

For nonnegative measurable f, apply [F3] to fρt under Φt; then ρt(Φtz)=ρ0(z), giving the displayed transport identity. For integrable signed f, apply the same argument separately to its positive and negative parts, whose integrals are finite by the stated existence condition.

3.1A2F3F5step 1.1∎

The same measure-preserving substitution applied to the nonnegative function ρ0log⁡+ρ0 and to ρ0log⁡−ρ0 separately shows that both parts of ρtlog⁡ρt have the same integrals as those of ρ0log⁡ρ0. They are finite in sum by [A2], and therefore ∫Dρtlog⁡ρt dmN=∫Dρ0log⁡ρ0 dmN. Multiplication by −k proves S(ρt)=S(ρ0).

Canonical thermal preparation

Physical scope

Fixed finite particle number and fixed controls in a classical canonical model with a finite positive partition function; no claim that isolated Hamiltonian dynamics prepares or equilibrates this law.

Postulate

For a fixed N, controls λ, measurable classical Hamiltonian HN,λ:ΓN→R∪{+∞}, measurable for the phase Borel sigma-algebra and taking energy values in joules, and the declared physical reference measure mNphys of Classical particle counting and physical observables, choose a prescribed thermodynamic-temperature control T>0 in kelvins and β=(kBT)−1 in J−1 using the SI temperature convention of SI quantities and unit conventions. For every within-species permutation g∈G of Classical particle counting and physical observables, require HN,λ(gz)=HN,λ(z) for mNphys-almost every z. Thus its Gibbs density has an invariant representative and represents a quotient state under the declared indistinguishable-particle convention. For operationally distinguishable labels the corresponding group is trivial and its factorial is omitted, as specified by that convention. If 0<ZN(β,λ):=∫ΓNe−βHN,λ dmNphys<∞, adopt the canonical state with density ρβ,λ=ZN(β,λ)−1e−βHN,λ relative to mNphys. Set e−β(+∞)=0. Normalizability is a required condition on the chosen model; bounded-below energy alone does not imply it. This probability law is an adopted preparation, not a consequence of deterministic mechanics or evidence of laboratory equilibration.

Grand canonical particle-exchange preparation

Physical scope

Classical particle exchange across countably many finite-N sectors at fixed temperature and chemical potential, only when the grand normalization converges.

Postulate

Let T>0 be the prescribed temperature control in kelvins, β=(kBT)−1, and let the chemical-potential control μ have units J per particle under the SI convention SI quantities and unit conventions. In this adopted law, μ is the energy coefficient conjugate to the dimensionless sector count N in the weight e−β(HN−μN); no derivative with respect to integer N is used. For N≥1, let ΓN and its reference measure be those of Classical particle counting and physical observables, and let HN:ΓN→R∪{+∞} be Borel measurable for the sector sigma-algebra FN generated by the open sets of ΓN, with +∞ marking forbidden states, and use the convention e−β(+∞):=0. In each sector require HN(gz)=HN(z) for mNphys-almost every z and every within-species permutation g∈GN, with GN and its action as in Classical particle counting and physical observables. Hence each sector Gibbs density admits an invariant representative; the factor eβμN is constant on that sector and preserves this invariance. Operationally distinguishable labels have trivial permutation factors as in that convention. Define the vacuum sector by Γ0={∗} with sigma-algebra F0={∅,{∗}}, reference mass m0phys({∗})=1, particle number N=0, and vacuum Hamiltonian H0(∗)=0. On the disjoint union G:=⨆N=0∞ΓN, use the sigma-algebra FG:={A⊆G:A∩ΓN∈FN for every N≥0}, where FN is the declared measurable structure on sector N, and the reference measure mphys(A):=∑N=0∞mNphys(A∩ΓN). This disjoint-union reference is sigma-finite because it is a countable sum of the sigma-finite sector references, including the finite vacuum measure. Let Ξ(β,μ):=∑N=0∞∫ΓNe−β(HN−μN) dmNphys satisfy 0<Ξ<∞. Adopt the probability measure on (G,FG) with density ρ(N,z):=Ξ−1e−β(HN(z)−μN) relative to mphys. The finiteness condition is part of the model; it requires control of the sector sum and is not implied by each finite-sector partition function being finite. Particle-exchange preparation is an assumption, not a deduction from fixed-N dynamics. Under the vacuum convention above, the N=0 contribution to Ξ is exactly one.

Isothermal-isobaric joint preparation

Physical scope

Fixed finite particle number with a classical shape-scaled domain and a declared uniform dV/V0 volume prior; alternative piston measures define different preparations.

Postulate

Fix integers N,d≥1, a prescribed temperature control T>0 in kelvins, β=(kBT)−1 as in SI quantities and unit conventions, and external pressure Pext>0 in J m−d, a fixed dimensionless shape Q1⊆Rd that is Lebesgue measurable, meaning Q1∈L(Rd), and has Lebesgue measure ∣Q1∣d:=λd(Q1)=1 (Lebesgue measurable sets, the family L(Rn), and the restricted set function λn), and a positive volume reference V0 in md. Write y=(y1,…,yN)∈Q1N, take dy to be product Lebesgue measure on Q1N, take dp to be Lebesgue measure on RdN, and take dV to be Lebesgue measure on (0,∞). Identify the position domain at volume V>0 by qi=V1/dyi. The Jacobian is VN, which is the full position-volume factor because ∣Q1∣d=1. Adopt the joint reference dνN=dVV0 VN dy dpN!a0dN, where a0>0 is the action reference in J s. The factors dV/V0 and VNdy dp/a0dN are dimensionless. Let HN:(0,∞)×Q1N×RdN→R∪{+∞} be a product-measurable energy-valued Hamiltonian (in joules) for this reference, with +∞ marking forbidden states. Require HN(V,g⋅(y,p))=HN(V,y,p) for νN-almost every (V,y,p) and every within-species permutation g, acting by simultaneous permutation of the position and momentum particle coordinates. For the displayed single-species factor this group is SN; for several species it is ∏aSNa as in Classical particle counting and physical observables. The volume coordinate is unchanged by this action, so the Gibbs density admits an invariant representative on the labelled lift. Set e−β(+∞+PextV):=0. The product reference νN is sigma-finite: Q1N has finite measure, while (0,∞) and RdN have countable finite-measure exhaustions; the factor VN is finite on each set where V is bounded. Assume 0<ΔN:=∫(0,∞)×Q1N×RdNe−β(HN(V,y,p)+PextV) dνN<∞. Adopt the probability density ρN(V,y,p):=ΔN−1e−β(HN(V,y,p)+PextV) relative to νN. The displayed N! is the single-species convention; for several indistinguishable species with fixed counts Na, replace it by ∏aNa! as in Classical particle counting and physical observables. The factor dV/V0 is an explicit volume-reference convention; a different piston state measure gives a different preparation. This postulate includes no piston kinetic energy unless it is explicitly included in the Hamiltonian, and does not claim a smooth wall dynamics.

Regular full-shell or finite-band preparation

Physical scope

Fixed-N classical models with a nonempty compact regular energy shell or a finite compact regular energy band under the declared phase reference; the shell branch carries its exact full-AC mathematical premise, and neither branch infers ergodicity or equilibration.

Postulate

For the full-shell branch, assume the Axiom of Choice required by the mathematical supplier Coarea and invariant probability on compact regular phase shells. Let H:ΓN→R have a C2 coordinate representative in every canonical cotangent chart. Require H(gz)=H(z) for every z∈ΓN and every within-species permutation g∈G with the cotangent action specified by Classical particle counting and physical observables. This symmetry condition applies to both the shell and finite-band branches; ambient almost-everywhere symmetry alone would not specify a law on an individual zero-volume shell. Suppose there is an open interval J∋E on which dH≠0 and for which H−1(K) is compact whenever K⊂J is compact. For a nonempty regular shell ΣE=H−1({E}), the cited theorem gives finite positive coarea mass 0<μE(1)<∞; adopt the microcanonical state PE=μE/μE(1) as the probability law for the specified preparation. Here μE is the shell measure disintegrating the declared phase reference over energy; its construction and hypotheses are exactly those in that theorem. The constant cN in the mathematical reference is chosen to match the fixed-N physical reference of Classical particle counting and physical observables; the normalization defining PE also cancels a common positive rescaling of that reference.

For a physical application, choose fixed conjugate reference scales ℓj,p0j>0 in each cotangent chart, of the respective coordinate and conjugate-momentum units, with ℓjp0j=A>0 the same action scale for all j. For Cartesian positions these units are m and kg m s−1; other generalized coordinates have their own declared conjugate units. Put Qj=qj/ℓj, Pj=pj/p0j and H~(Q,P)=H(q,p). These coordinates are dimensionless, while H~ and E remain in J. The actual reference Jacobian gives dmNphys=(A/a0)n∏sNs! dQ dP,n=dN. Use this transformed constant in the shell theorem; in particular μEphys(1) has units J−1. The weighted shell area and gradient are computed in these dimensionless coordinates, not by adding squares of SI position and momentum derivatives of different dimensions. The canonical forms pull back to A∑jPjdQj and A∑jdQj∧dPj. Thus physical time t in seconds obeys dQjdt=A−1∂PjH~,dPjdt=−A−1∂QjH~. Equivalently the Hamiltonian for the normalized mathematical two-form and the same time is H~/A, in s−1. If one also chooses an energy reference E∗>0 in J, then only with H^=H~/E∗ and τ=E∗t/A do the fully dimensionless equations become dQj/dτ=∂PjH^ and dPj/dτ=−∂QjH^. This is an explicit reexpression of the same trajectories and physical clock. It changes neither the adopted shell or band preparation nor the physical Hamiltonian. For dimensionless shell energy e=E/E∗, the shell measures transform as μenum=E∗μE∗ephys so that the coarea integral is unchanged.

Alternatively, for a specified compact regular energy band B⊂J with 0<mNphys(H−1(B))=∫BμEphys(1) dE<∞, one may adopt the normalized restricted physical reference PB(A)=mNphys(A∩H−1(B))mNphys(H−1(B)) for each measurable phase event A. Here mNphys is the declared fixed-N reference of Classical particle counting and physical observables, and μEphys is its coarea measure; choosing this physical positive constant in Classical configuration, cotangent phase and reference measures scales both measures in the coarea identity equally. This is a distinct finite-band preparation, uniform relative to phase volume in the band. Restricting either law to a dynamically accessible invariant subset or imposing further conserved quantities defines another preparation and requires a separately specified measure. Neither law nor ergodicity is deduced from deterministic Hamiltonian evolution.

Reference-relative entropy and Gibbs variational inequality

Statement

Let (Ω,F,m) be a measure space and let p,q be probability densities relative to m, with q>0 almost everywhere on {p>0}. Define the relative entropy D(p∥q):=∫{p>0}plog⁡(p/q) dm, allowing +∞. Then D(p∥q)≥0, and equality holds exactly when p=q almost everywhere. For arbitrary probability densities, extend D(p∥q) to +∞ if ∫{q=0}p dm>0. In particular, let H be extended-real measurable, finite p-almost everywhere, let β>0, and suppose 0<Z=∫e−βHdm<∞,q=Z−1e−βH,∫p∣H∣dm<∞,∫∣plog⁡p∣dm<∞. For S[p]:=−k∫plog⁡p dm and F:=−β−1log⁡Z, with k>0 and βkT=1, one has D(p∥q)=β(⟨H⟩p−F−TS[p])≥0. Write A for the probability densities satisfying these finite energy and absolute entropy conditions. For every measurable H with the stated positive finite Z, define the extended relative free energy on all probability densities by Fext[p]:=F+β−1D(p∥q)∈[F,+∞]. It agrees with ⟨H⟩p−TS[p] on A and has the unique minimizer q, up to almost-everywhere equality, even when the separate energy and entropy integrals of q are not finite. Moreover, inf⁡p∈A(⟨H⟩p−TS[p])=F. This infimum is attained if and only if ∫q∣H∣dm<∞ and ∫∣qlog⁡q∣dm<∞; in that case its unique minimizer is q. Otherwise no density in A attains the infimum. Products with a zero density are taken as zero on the forbidden set, and densities may be redefined on null sets. These mathematical claims do not derive a physical preparation.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: Normalized densities p,q, positivity of q on the support of p, and, for the Gibbs identity, finite energy and entropy integrals.

[A1]

p,q≥0, ∫p dm=∫q dm=1, and q>0 wherever p>0 up to an m-null set.

[A2]

In the Gibbs case, H is extended-real measurable, β>0 and 0<Z<∞. The finite formula is asserted for p∈A, meaning ∫p∣H∣dm<∞ and ∫∣plog⁡p∣dm<∞; the extended functional does not require either integral to be finite.

[F1]

The natural logarithm is defined on positive reals and has derivative 1/x (The natural logarithm as the inverse of the exponential function, The natural logarithm has derivative 1/x and equals the integral from 1 to x of 1/t). In particular log⁡1=0, and log⁡(ab)=log⁡a+log⁡b for positive a,b: for fixed b, the derivative of log⁡(ab)−log⁡a is zero, and its value at a=1 is log⁡b.

[F2]

In the Gibbs clause, q=Z−1e−βH is already assumed to be a probability density relative to m by the displayed hypotheses; no exponential-family differentiation or finite-valued statistic result is needed for the relative-entropy identity.

[F3]

Entropy and expectations are integrals relative to the chosen measure (Statistical states, densities, observables and expectations).

Proof

Given: [A1]–[A2] and the logarithm, normalized Gibbs-density and state conventions [F1]–[F3].

1.1A1F1algebra

For x>0, set h(x)=x−1−log⁡x. By [F1], h′(x)=1−1/x, which is negative for 0<x<1 and positive for x>1; hence h(x)≥h(1)=0, with equality only at x=1. On {p>0} put x=q/p to obtain plog⁡(p/q)≥p−q. The negative part of the left integrand is integrable: where q>p, writing x=q/p>1 gives plog⁡(q/p)=q(log⁡x)/x≤q, since h(x)≥0 implies log⁡x≤x−1 and (x−1)/x≤1. Therefore its integral is well-defined as an extended real number, and D(p∥q)≥∫{p>0}(p−q) dm=1−∫{p>0}q dm≥0.

2.1A1step 1.1

If D=0, both nonnegative gaps in the last inequalities vanish: q has no mass on {p=0}, and h(q/p)=0 p-almost everywhere. The strict equality case in step 1.1 gives q=p on {p>0}, hence p=q almost everywhere. Conversely, if p=q almost everywhere then the defining integrand is zero and D=0.

3.1A2F1F2F3step 1.1step 2.1algebra

In the Gibbs case, [F2] and [A2] give log⁡q=−βH−log⁡Z p-almost everywhere, so all terms below are integrable and D(p∥q)=∫plog⁡p dm+β⟨H⟩p+log⁡Z=β(⟨H⟩p+β−1∫plog⁡p dm−F). Since S[p]=−k∫plog⁡p dm and β−1=kT, the middle term is −TS[p]. Nonnegativity and the equality condition follow from steps 1.1 and 2.1.

4.1A2F2step 1.1step 2.1step 3.1

If a density gives positive mass to {q=0}, its extended D is +∞ by definition; otherwise step 1.1 applies after removal of null sets. Thus Fext≥F for every probability density. The density q is allowed here without any energy or entropy integrability assumption: directly D(q∥q)=0, so Fext[q]=F. Step 2.1 gives uniqueness. Step 3.1 proves agreement with the original finite formula on A, without assigning any meaning to an undefined difference +∞−∞.

5.1A2F1F2F3step 2.1step 3.1algebra∎

Let Q(B):=∫Bq dm. Positive finite Z implies H is finite Q-almost everywhere: H=+∞ has zero Gibbs weight, while H=−∞ can occur only on an m-null set, since its exponential weight is infinite. Set An:={∣H∣≤n} and cn:=Q(An). Then cn↑1. Indeed the disjoint sets A1,A2∖A1,… cover the finite-energy set, so countable additivity of the probability measure Q makes their partial sums cn converge to 1. For every sufficiently large n, cn>0 and pn:=q1An/cn is a probability density. On its support ∣H∣≤n and log⁡pn=−βH−log⁡Z−log⁡cn is bounded, so pn∈A. Moreover pn/q=1/cn on that support, hence D(pn∥q)=−log⁡cn⟶0. The limit follows from the continuity of the logarithm at 1 supplied by [F1]. Step 3.1 now gives finite free energies F−β−1log⁡cn→F, proving the stated infimum. Equality for any p∈A forces p=q almost everywhere by step 2.1; consequently it is attained exactly when q∈A, which is precisely the two stated integrability conditions.

Canonical momentum distribution and equipartition

Physical scope

Finite classical canonical model with quadratic unconstrained momenta and bounded potential on a finite-volume configuration space; excludes constraints, relativistic dispersion, and empirical equilibration.

Statement

Assume Countable Choice The Axiom of Countable Choice (ACω), as in the cotangent phase-reference convention. Let d,N≥1 and put n=dN. Use the ambient smooth configuration manifold Rn=(Rd)N and its cotangent phase space ΓN=T∗Rn≅Rn×Rn with product Lebesgue measure dq dp in canonical coordinates. Let the allowed one-particle position region C⊂Rd be compact and Lebesgue measurable with 0<∣C∣d<∞, and set CN=CN with product Lebesgue measure and volume ∣C∣dN. Let UC:CN→R be bounded and measurable, invariant under permutations of the N particle labels, and interpret measurability here with respect to completed Lebesgue measure on CN. Choose a bounded, permutation-invariant Borel representative U~C equal to UC almost everywhere, as constructed in step 1.1, and extend it to U:Rn→R∪{+∞} by U=U~C on CN and U=+∞ outside CN. The canonical state is defined on the Borel phase reference. Its extension to the completed phase-reference sigma-algebra agrees with the density formed from the original UC and is independent of the Borel representative. In particular, the density vanishes outside the allowed finite-volume configuration region. The particles have common mass m>0. Adopt the canonical preparation of Canonical thermal preparation with the physical reference convention of Classical particle counting and physical observables, Hamiltonian K(p):=∑j=1npj22m,H(q,p):=K(p)+U(q),p∈Rn, and β=(kBT)−1>0. Then the partition function is finite and positive, and the momentum components are independent centered Gaussians with variance m/β=mkBT. In particular, ⟨pj22m⟩=12β=kBT2,⟨K⟩=nkBT2. These are conditional deductions of the chosen canonical model.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: Countable Choice, the canonical preparation and counting convention, positive quadratic momentum coefficients, bounded potential and finite configuration volume.

[A1]

The state has density proportional to e−βH relative to dq dp/(N!a0n), with a0>0 the fixed action reference (Canonical thermal preparation, Classical particle counting and physical observables).

[A2]

CN=CN is compact, Lebesgue measurable and has finite positive product volume; UC is bounded and completed-Lebesgue-measurable on CN, β>0, and m>0. The reference measure dq dp/(N!a0n) is defined on the whole ambient Borel phase space ΓN using the Liouville measure of Classical configuration, cotangent phase and reference measures. The canonical density, rather than this reference, vanishes outside CN×Rn, so its integrals may be evaluated on that support.

[F1]

The supplier The Gaussian integral ∫−∞∞e−x2 dx=π proves ∫Re−x2dx=π. For each a>0, the linear diffeomorphism y=a x has Jacobian a, so one-dimensional substitution gives ∫Re−ax2dx=a−1/2∫Re−y2dy=π/a.

[F2]

Nonnegative product integrals may be evaluated in either order (Tonelli's theorem for nonnegative measurable functions on a sigma-finite product).

[F3]

The canonical phase coordinates are those of Classical configuration, cotangent phase and reference measures. The positive action reference is prescribed by Classical particle counting and physical observables; its SI dimension, and the position and momentum dimensions, follow Dimensions and SI unit conventions of the non-relativistic classical mechanics framework.

[F4]

The SI kelvin, Boltzmann constant and relation β=(kBT)−1 use the published thermodynamic units convention (SI quantities and unit conventions).

[F5]

Cauchy-Schwarz inequality for L2 gives ∫∣fg∣ dμ≤∥f∥2∥g∥2 for square-integrable f,g.

[F6]

Under Countable Choice, L(Rn) is exactly the completion of the restriction of λn to the Borel sets identifies Lebesgue measurable sets with Borel sets modified inside Borel null sets. Countably many such modifications have a common Borel null cover.

Proof

Given: Countable Choice, [A1]–[A2] and [F1]–[F6].

1.1givenA2F2F3F6construct

Since CN is compact, it is Borel. Fix M>0 with ∣UC∣≤M. Approximate UC on CN by its dyadic step functions, whose errors are at most 2−k. By [F6] and Countable Choice, replace their countably many Lebesgue-measurable level sets by Borel sets agreeing outside a common Borel null set Z. Clip the resulting Borel step functions to [−M,M]; their pointwise limsup is a bounded Borel function V equal to UC off Z. Measurability of this limsup follows from countable unions and intersections of its level sets. Set U~C(q):=1N!∑σ∈SNV(σq). The finite average is Borel, bounded and exactly permutation-invariant. Since UC is invariant, the average equals it outside the Borel null set ⋃σσ−1Z; these coordinate permutations preserve Lebesgue measure by [F3]. Extend by +∞ off the Borel set CN. The resulting H is Borel on the phase space. The exceptional configuration set times Rn is null: intersect the momentum factor with each bounded integer box, apply [F2], then take the countable union. Hence the Borel density and the completed-Lebesgue density formed from UC agree almost everywhere and give the same probability on the completed phase-reference sigma-algebra. The same argument compares any two representatives.

2.1A1A2F1F2step 1.1algebra

Factor e−βH=e−βU(q)∏je−βpj2/(2m) on CN×Rn; it is zero outside this region. By [F1]–[F2], Z=1N!a0n(∫CNe−βUC(q)dq)(2πmβ)n/2. Boundedness of UC, positive finite configuration volume, and positive finite Gaussian factors imply 0<Z<∞, so the adopted preparation is normalized.

3.1A1F1F3F4F5step 2.1algebra∎

The factorized density makes the momentum marginal the product of densities proportional to e−βpj2/(2m), independent of q. Set a=β/(2m) and integrate ddp(pe−ap2)=e−ap2−2ap2e−ap2 over R; the boundary term vanishes since pe−ap2→0 at both ends. Dividing by the positive Gaussian integral gives ⟨pj2⟩=1/(2a)=m/β. Applying [F5] to pj and 1 under the normalized marginal gives ⟨∣pj∣⟩≤⟨pj2⟩1/2<∞; since the density is even its centered mean is zero. The product form proves independence. Summing the n quadratic contributions proves both equipartition identities.

Remarks

The independent component calculation is on the symmetric labelled-coordinate lift specified in Classical particle counting and physical observables. A single labelled coordinate is not itself a function on the indistinguishable-particle quotient. Its marginal is the law of a uniformly selected component under the permutation-invariant lift; symmetric kinetic sums and averages, including K/n, are quotient observables and retain the displayed expectations.

Canonical energy and fluctuation responses

Physical scope

Finite canonical model with fixed Hamiltonian, reference measure, particle number and controls on an open temperature interval satisfying local exponential-moment envelopes; no thermodynamic-limit claim.

Statement

For the canonical preparation Canonical thermal preparation, write H:=HN,λ:ΓN→R∪{+∞} for its measurable Hamiltonian and m:=mNphys for its reference. With these data fixed independently of T, let Z(β)=∫e−βHdm be finite and positive on an open interval of β>0. If H may equal +∞, put SH:={x:H(x)<∞}, restrict m to this measurable set, and evaluate energy moments on SH; the canonical weight is zero outside it, and the restricted measure remains sigma-finite. In this statement U and Var⁡(H) are the expectation and variance of H∣SH. Assume the local envelope hypotheses of Dominated exponential normalization and covariance hold for the finite-valued statistic X=H∣SH and θ=−β on the restricted measure space. Under the canonical preparation Canonical thermal preparation, the mean energy U=⟨H⟩ obeys ∂βlog⁡Z=−U,∂βU=−Var⁡(H),CV:=∂TU=Var⁡(H)kBT2≥0, where β=(kBT)−1 and CV is the model heat capacity at the fixed controls. This is a finite-model response identity, not an empirical claim.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The canonical preparation, fixed model/reference data, positive temperature, finite partition function and the local exponential-moment envelopes.

[A1]

Z(β) is positive and finite on the interval, with the envelope hypotheses of the cited exponential theorem for the finite restriction H∣SH and its square.

[A2]

H, m and all non-temperature controls are independent of T, and β=(kBT)−1 with kB>0 (SI quantities and unit conventions).

[F1]

The state is the normalized canonical exponential density (Canonical thermal preparation).

[F2]

Under the local envelope, the logarithmic partition derivatives are the mean and covariance of the sufficient statistic (Dominated exponential normalization and covariance).

Proof

Given: [A1]–[A2] and the canonical-density and differentiation facts [F1]–[F2].

1.1A1F1F2algebra

On the restricted reference space of the Statement, apply [F2] with scalar statistic X=H∣SH and parameter θ=−β. Since the Gibbs density vanishes off SH, these expectations are the stated canonical energy moments. Thus ∂βlog⁡Z=−⟨H⟩=−U and ∂β2log⁡Z=Var⁡(H). Differentiating the first identity gives ∂βU=−Var⁡(H).

2.1A2step 1.1algebra∎

Since dβ/dT=−1/(kBT2), the chain rule yields ∂TU=(−Var⁡(H))(−1/(kBT2))=Var⁡(H)/(kBT2). A variance is an integral of a square, so it is nonnegative.

Ensemble entropy and potential identities

Physical scope

Finite canonical, grand and isothermal-isobaric preparations with finite entropy and energy moments and differentiable normalizers; identities use the explicitly chosen reference measures and fixed microscopic models.

Statement

Adopt the canonical, grand and isothermal-isobaric preparations of Canonical thermal preparation, Grand canonical particle-exchange preparation and Isothermal-isobaric joint preparation. Assume their positive finite normalizers, finite first moments and integrable ρlog⁡ρ, and assume the local parameter envelopes of Dominated exponential normalization and covariance for each normalizer's sufficient statistics. If a Hamiltonian may be +∞, restrict its reference to the measurable set where it is finite; the Gibbs density is zero off that set, and the restricted reference remains sigma-finite. Thus every statistic passed to the exponential theorem is finite real-valued. In each preparation, write U:=⟨H⟩ for the mean Hamiltonian; on the grand disjoint union let N be the sector index and write Nˉ:=⟨N⟩. Define the reference-relative entropy by S=−kB∫ρlog⁡ρ dm using the exact joint reference of each preparation. Then the finite canonical free energy, grand potential and isothermal-isobaric potential satisfy F=−kBTlog⁡Z=U−TS,dF=−S dT at fixed canonical model and reference; Ω=−kBTlog⁡Ξ=U−TS−μNˉ,dΩ=−S dT−Nˉ dμ; and, with B=H+PextV, GisoP=−kBTlog⁡Δ=⟨H⟩+Pext⟨V⟩−TS,dGisoP=−S dT+⟨V⟩ dPext. For every normalized competing density p with the same reference and the finite energy and entropy conditions of Reference-relative entropy and Gibbs variational inequality, one also has ⟨H⟩p−TS[p]≥F, with equality exactly at the canonical density almost everywhere. The differentials hold at fixed remaining model data; integer N is not a differentiable variable. The identities do not assert thermodynamic-limit equivalence or derive any preparation from ignorance.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The three adopted normalized exponential laws, integrable entropy and energy terms, fixed declared references, and local parameter envelopes.

[A1]

Each relevant density is normalized and has finite first energy/number/ volume moments and ∫∣ρlog⁡ρ∣dm<∞.

[A2]

The Hamiltonian and the chosen reference are independent of T; grand and pressure derivatives are taken with the other displayed controls fixed.

[A3]

Any competing canonical density in the variational clause has finite energy and absolutely integrable plog⁡p against the same reference.

[F1]

The ensemble probability laws and reference conventions are the three adopted preparations (Canonical thermal preparation, Grand canonical particle-exchange preparation, Isothermal-isobaric joint preparation).

[F2]

Normalizer derivatives equal means under their local exponential envelopes (Dominated exponential normalization and covariance).

[F3]

The entropy integral is interpreted against the selected reference measure (Statistical states, densities, observables and expectations); for a Gibbs density the relative-entropy identity and equality case hold (Reference-relative entropy and Gibbs variational inequality).

[F4]

Temperature, energy and Boltzmann-constant units satisfy β=(kBT)−1 (SI quantities and unit conventions).

Proof

Given: [A1]–[A3] and the preparation, differentiation, entropy and unit interfaces [F1]–[F4].

1.1A1A2A3F1F2F3F4algebra

For a canonical density ρ=Z−1e−βH, log⁡ρ=−βH−log⁡Z. Integrating against ρ gives S=kB(log⁡Z+βU), so −kBTlog⁡Z=U−TS because kBTβ=1. For any competitor p, [F3] gives D(p∥ρ)=β(⟨H⟩p−TS[p]−F)≥0, with equality exactly when p=ρ almost everywhere. At fixed model, U=−∂βlog⁡Z by [F2]. Differentiating F=−β−1log⁡Z and using dβ/dT=−1/(kBT2) gives ∂TF=−S, proving the canonical differential.

1.2A1A2F1F2F3F4algebra

On the grand disjoint union, log⁡ρ=−β(H−μN)−log⁡Ξ. Integration gives S=kB(log⁡Ξ+β(U−μNˉ)), hence Ω=−kBTlog⁡Ξ=U−TS−μNˉ. Applying [F2] to the sufficient statistics H and N gives ∂μlog⁡Ξ=βNˉ and −∂βlog⁡Ξ∣μ=U−μNˉ. Thus ∂μΩ=−Nˉ and ∂TΩ=−S, proving the grand differential at fixed model.

2.1A1A2F1F2F3F4algebra∎

For the joint isothermal-isobaric density, log⁡ρ=−β(H+PextV)−log⁡Δ. Integration gives S=kB(log⁡Δ+β⟨H+PextV⟩) and therefore the displayed GisoP. Applying [F2] to B=H+PextV gives −∂βlog⁡Δ∣P=⟨B⟩, while ∂Plog⁡Δ=−β⟨V⟩; hence ∂TGisoP=−S and ∂PGisoP=⟨V⟩. This proves the stated differential and completes the conditional identities.

Grand responses in beta and chemical potential

Physical scope

Grand preparation on a countable disjoint union with local uniform exponential-moment envelopes for energy and particle number; all derivatives are finite-model derivatives.

Statement

For the grand preparation Grand canonical particle-exchange preparation, write let G and mphys be its disjoint-union state space and reference, define H(N,z):=HN(z) on sector ΓN, and define the particle-number statistic N(N,z):=N. Write mN for mNphys in the sector sum, so Ξ(β,μ)=∑N∫e−βHN+βμN dmN. Here β>0 and μ has units J per particle. Let SH:={(N,z)∈G:HN(z)<∞}, restrict mphys to this measurable set, and compute energy moments there; the grand weight is zero outside it and the restricted measure is sigma-finite. Assume the local envelopes of Dominated exponential normalization and covariance hold uniformly on this restricted space for its finite-valued sufficient statistics H and N; expectations written ⟨N⟩ refer to N. Then ∂ηlog⁡Ξ=⟨N⟩,∂η2log⁡Ξ=Var⁡(N),η=βμ, and, at fixed μ, −∂βlog⁡Ξ=⟨H−μN⟩,∂μ⟨N⟩=βVar⁡(N),∂β⟨N⟩∣μ=−Cov⁡(N,H−μN). The covariance is computed in the full number-exchanging state. No fixed-N derivative or thermodynamic-limit identification is implied.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A finite positive grand normalizer and uniform local exponential moment bounds for the joint energy and number variables.

[A1]

The adopted grand density is Ξ−1e−β(H−μN) with positive finite normalizer (Grand canonical particle-exchange preparation). In addition, assume the local common exponential-moment envelopes on SH stated above; these are hypotheses of this theorem, not consequences of the preparation postulate.

[A2]

β=(kBT)−1>0 and μ is held fixed in the β response (SI quantities and unit conventions).

[F1]

Under common envelopes, logarithmic derivatives are means and covariances (Dominated exponential normalization and covariance).

Proof

Given: [A1]–[A2] and the grand-law and exponential-differentiation interfaces [F1].

1.1A1F1algebra

Set θ=(−β,η) and X=(H∣SH,N) in [F1] on the restricted reference space. Its first and second derivatives give ∂ηlog⁡Ξ=⟨N⟩, ∂η2log⁡Ξ=Var⁡(N), and ∂βlog⁡Ξ∣η=−⟨H⟩. At fixed μ, the coordinate relation η=βμ makes the derivative direction (−1,μ) in (θH,θN) coordinates, so ∂βlog⁡Ξ∣μ=−⟨H−μN⟩.

2.1A1A2F1step 1.1algebra∎

At fixed β, ∂μ=β∂η, so ∂μ⟨N⟩=β∂η2log⁡Ξ=βVar⁡(N). At fixed μ, differentiating the first mean along direction (−1,μ) gives ∂β⟨N⟩∣μ=−Cov⁡(N,H)+μVar⁡(N)=−Cov⁡(N,H−μN). All terms are finite by [A1], proving the responses.

Isobaric volume and enthalpy fluctuations

Physical scope

Finite isothermal-isobaric preparation with fixed declared joint reference, positive temperature and pressure, and uniform local envelopes for volume and enthalpy moments.

Statement

For the joint preparation of Isothermal-isobaric joint preparation, write H=HN for its Hamiltonian and set B=H+PextV. Suppose the local exponential envelopes hold for (B,V) on the measurable finite-energy set SH:={H<∞}, with the joint reference restricted to SH. The Gibbs weight is zero off SH; there B and V are finite real-valued statistics and the restricted reference remains sigma-finite. At fixed T>0 and Pext>0, ∂Pextlog⁡Δ=−β⟨V⟩,∂Pext⟨V⟩=−βVar⁡(V), −∂βlog⁡Δ∣Pext=⟨B⟩,CP:=∂T⟨B⟩∣Pext=Var⁡(B)kBT2≥0. When ⟨V⟩>0, the model isothermal compressibility κT:=−⟨V⟩−1∂Pext⟨V⟩ equals βVar⁡(V)/⟨V⟩. These are finite preparation responses for the specified dV/V0 reference; they need not equal macroscopic response functions absent an additional limit argument.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The adopted joint volume-phase law, positive finite normalizer, fixed reference data and uniform local exponential-moment envelopes.

[A1]

The pressure prior is dV/V0 and the normalizer is positive finite by the adopted Isothermal-isobaric joint preparation. The local exponential envelopes on SH dominating the required powers of B and V are the additional hypotheses in the Statement.

[A2]

H, the shape reference and V0 are temperature independent, and β=(kBT)−1 with kB>0 (SI quantities and unit conventions).

[F1]

Under the common envelope, derivatives of log normalizers are means and covariances of their sufficient statistics (Dominated exponential normalization and covariance).

Proof

Given: [A1]–[A2] and the joint preparation and exponential-derivative interfaces [F1].

1.1A1F1algebra

In Δ=∫e−βH−βPextVdν, differentiate with respect to Pext using [F1], with statistic V and coefficient −βPext. This gives ∂Plog⁡Δ=−β⟨V⟩. Differentiating that expectation once more gives ∂P⟨V⟩=−βVar⁡(V). The definition of κT then gives its displayed formula.

2.1A2F1step 1.1algebra∎

At fixed pressure, use sufficient statistic B=H+PextV with parameter −β. [F1] yields −∂βlog⁡Δ=⟨B⟩ and ∂β⟨B⟩=−Var⁡(B). Since dβ/dT=−1/(kBT2), the chain rule gives CP=Var⁡(B)/(kBT2). Both variances are nonnegative integrals of squares.

Static electromagnetic coupling and typed canonical momentum

Physical scope

Single nonrelativistic charged particle in a bounded spatial region with prescribed static C2 electromagnetic potentials; excludes source dynamics, field energy, radiation and quantum effects.

Definition

Let Ω⊂R3 be nonempty, bounded and open with compact closure, and let U be an open neighborhood of Ω‾. Let the static scalar potential be φ:U→R and the static vector potential be A:U→R3, both of class C2. Let m>0 kg, and let qp∈R C be the particle's signed charge; this model parameter is distinct from the exact elementary-charge constant e in Framework-local SI units, the vacuum constants and the exact/measured status of their values. Let velocity v∈R3 have units m s−1. The adopted single-particle Lagrangian is the function L:Ω×R3→R,L(x,v)=12m∣v∣2+qpA(x)⋅v−qpφ(x), with A in T m and φ in V, as in Framework-local SI units, the vacuum constants and the exact/measured status of their values. Its Legendre momentum is p:=∂vL=mv+qpA(x), so for every (x,p)∈T∗Ω≅Ω×R3 the inverse is v=(p−qpA(x))/m. The mechanical momentum is π:=p−qpA(x)=mv; the canonical momentum is the cotangent coordinate p of The momentum of a potential presentation: the fibre derivative of the mechanical Lagrangian, the Cartesian momentum Mv and generalized momenta. The Legendre transform H=p⋅v−L, in the convention of The Hamiltonian of a hyperregular potential presentation: the Legendre transform of the mechanical Lagrangian, its domain and its dimensions, is therefore H(x,p)=∣p−qpA(x)∣22m+qpφ(x). At fixed x, the velocity derivative has linear part mI3, so the displayed affine momentum map has the explicit inverse v=(p−qpA(x))/m. Substitution into p⋅v−L cancels the two qpA⋅v terms and gives 12m∣v∣2+qpφ; using the inverse gives the displayed Hamiltonian. The supplier The Hamiltonian of a hyperregular potential presentation: the Legendre transform of the mechanical Lagrangian, its domain and its dimensions provides the p⋅v−L convention for its hyperregular K−U mechanical presentation; the inverse branch for this velocity-linear electromagnetic coupling is the local calculation above, not a consequence of that supplier's K−U scope. The units are [qpA]= kg m s−1, [qpφ]= J, and [H]= J.

For a time-independent gauge function χ:U→R of class C3 (units V s), adopt the static convention of Potential representations, gauge transformations and the Lorenz and Coulomb conditions: Aχ=A+∇χ and φχ=φ. The corresponding canonical-coordinate change is Tχ(x,p)=(x,p+qp∇χ(x)); the mechanical momentum is unchanged under this paired transformation. This definition specifies an external-potential model only and asserts no existence of a global potential representation on arbitrary regions.

Finite canonical partition is invariant under static electromagnetic gauge changes

Physical scope

Finite one-particle canonical model on a bounded region with static smooth potentials and a fixed action reference; only time-independent gauge changes are covered, with no claim of field dynamics or empirical realization.

Statement

Let Ω⊂R3 be nonempty bounded open with compact closure, m>0, and qp∈R the signed particle charge in coulombs, as defined in Static electromagnetic coupling and typed canonical momentum and distinct from its exact elementary-charge constant e. Let a0>0 be an action reference and β>0 have units J−1. Let A,φ satisfy the smoothness assumptions of Static electromagnetic coupling and typed canonical momentum, with φ bounded. Adopt the canonical preparation Canonical thermal preparation and the single-particle reference convention Classical particle counting and physical observables relative to dx dp/a03. Then Zβ=1a03∫Ω∫R3e−βH(x,p)dp dx=1a03(2πmβ)3/2∫Ωe−βqpφ(x)dx is finite and positive. If χ∈C3 is time-independent and Aχ=A+∇χ, φχ=φ, then the paired canonical coordinate map Tχ(x,p)=(x,p+qp∇χ(x)) satisfies Zβ,χ=Zβ. It carries the canonical probability to the transformed canonical probability and leaves the expectation of every integrable measurable observable of (x,π) unchanged, where π=p−qpA(x). The result is a conditional prediction of the adopted static model, not an experimental observation.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The static external-potential model, smooth time-independent gauge function, fixed action reference and canonical preparation.

[A1]

Ω has finite positive volume, φ is bounded, m>0, β>0, and the canonical density is the one adopted in Canonical thermal preparation relative to the stated phase reference (Classical configuration, cotangent phase and reference measures) and single-particle counting scale (Classical particle counting and physical observables).

[A2]
[F1]

The Gaussian integral ∫−∞∞e−x2 dx=π proves ∫Re−x2dx=π. Tonelli gives ∫R3e−∣x∣2d3x=π3/2. For a=β/(2m)>0, the linear map u↦a u has Jacobian a3/2, so the local scaling calculation gives ∫R3e−β∣u∣2/(2m)d3u=a−3/2π3/2=(2πm/β)3/2.

[F2]

Tonelli permits the nonnegative position-momentum integration (Tonelli's theorem for nonnegative measurable functions on a sigma-finite product).

The nonnegative change-of-variables theorem applies to a C1 diffeomorphism with its absolute Jacobian under Countable Choice (A C^1 diffeomorphism satisfies the change-of-variables formula for nonnegative Lebesgue measurable functions, The Axiom of Countable Choice (ACω)).

Put u=p−qpA(x) in the inner integral. Translation preserves Lebesgue measure and H=∣u∣2/(2m)+qpφ(x). By [F1]–[F2], the displayed formula for Zβ follows. Since e−βqpφ is bounded above and below by positive constants on finite positive-volume Ω, the normalizer is finite and strictly positive.

2.1A2F3step 1.1algebra∎

The map Tχ has inverse T−χ and derivative DTχ=(I0qpD2χI),det⁡DTχ=1. By the paired gauge transformation, Hχ(Tχ(x,p))=∣p+qp∇χ−qp(A+∇χ)∣2/(2m)+qpφ=H(x,p). Apply [F3] to the nonnegative integrand and this diffeomorphism; its unit Jacobian gives Zβ,χ=Zβ. The same substitution carries normalized densities into one another. Moreover (p+qp∇χ)−qp(A+∇χ)=p−qpA=π, so any integrable function of (x,π) has identical expectations in the paired states.
