  Category:Statistical mechanics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Statistical mechanics is the application of statistics, which includes mathematical tools for dealing with large populations, to the field of Mechanics, which is concerned with the motion of particles or objects when subjected to a force.
It provides a framework for relating the microscopic properties of individual atoms and molecules to the macroscopic or bulk properties of materials that can be observed in every day life, therefore explaining thermodynamics as a natural result of statistics and mechanics (classical and quantum).
The main article for this category is Statistical mechanics.

Statistical mechanics: the Riemann zeta function interpreted as a partition function
In the theory of the distribution of primes, the fundamental object is the Riemann zeta function.
Very basic notions and methods from statistical mechanics are enough to obtain analytical results for the phase boundary that separates the "easy-to-solve" from the "hard-to-solve" phase of the NPP as well as for the probability distributions of the optimal and sub-optimal solutions.

The pair distribution function is the exponential of the potential of mean force, which corresponds to connecting diagrams in parallel.
The pair total and direct correlation functions decay to 0 at the same rate as the pair potential (provided it is an integrable power law potential).
The direct correlation function shows a universal behaviour asymptotically, whereas the magnitude of the decay of the total correlation function scales with the square of the compressibility of the system.

 Everett's Relative-State Formulation of Quantum Mechanics
Everett's relative-state formulation of quantum mechanics is an attempt to solve the measurement problem by dropping the collapse dynamics from the standard von Neumann-Dirac theory of quantum mechanics.
Everett's proposal was to drop the collapse postulate from the standard formulation of quantum mechanics then deduce the empirical predictions of the standard theory as the subjective experiences of observers who are themselves treated as physical systems described by his theory.
Everett then intended to deduce the standard statistical predictions of quantum mechanics (the predictions that depend on Rule 4b in the standard collapse formulation of quantum mechanics) as the subjective experiences of observers who are themselves treated as ordinary physical systems within the new theory.

 Pair Correlation Function
is a measure of the local correlation between the positions and attributes of the particles.
A very successful approximation commonly used in statistical mechanics -the so-called Pair Correlation Function- consists in assuming particles are impenetrable and that the correlation is only a function of their distance
The current edition of SCATTERERÔ allows for this oscillatory function to be characterized by three parameters (amplitude, frequency, and decay) and let the user experiment with them in trying to accurately modeling the unique spatial correlation characteristics of the problem at hand.

 Statistical mechanics of classical one-dimensional Heisenberg ferromagnets with single-site anisotropy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
The exact analytical forms of the low-temperature thermodynamic quantities and correlation functions are obtained for classical one-dimensional Heisenberg ferromagnets with single-site anisotropy including both the systems with an easy axis and with an easy plane.
The calculated results have a few leading terms in series-expansion with respect to the reduced temperature, exhibiting the characteristic points borne out in the recent numerical studies.
In particular, the longitudinal correlation function and susceptibility of the system with an easy axis show Ising-like behaviours and the transverse counterparts of the system with an easy plane show isotropic XY- or Heisenberg-like behaviours.
