Phase transitions (general) in equilibrium statistical mechanics (82B26) Foundations of equilibrium statistical mechanics (82B03)

Abstract: Five different methods which can be used to analytically calculate entropies that are nonconcave as functions of the energy in the thermodynamic limit are discussed and compared. The five methods are based on the following ideas and techniques: i) microcanonical contraction, ii) metastable branches of the free energy, iii) generalized canonical ensembles with specific illustrations involving the so-called Gaussian and Betrag ensembles, iv) restricted canonical ensemble, and v) inverse Laplace transform. A simple long-range spin model having a nonconcave entropy is used to illustrate each method.
