内容
Two books, one is written in English and the other is in Japanese, will
be published on the basis of this lecture. The book description and contents (tentative) are as follows:
The principles of equilibrium statistical mechanics are presented on
the basis of recent advances in research on its foundations. Instead of
traditional but misleading arguments, this book is based on the
typicality, i.e., the fact that almost all microstate is an equilibrium
state. This leads to many possible formulations of statistical
mechanics, including the traditional ensemble formulation and the new
formulation called the thermal pure quantum formulation. This book
presents these two formulations, and clarify their relations,
advantages and disadvantages in practical applications. The first nine
chapters can be used as a textbook for undergraduate students. Although
the latter chapters are for graduate students and researchers, they are
written in such a way that motivated undergraduate students can also
understand them.
