Partial equivalence of statistical ensembles in a simple spin model with discontinuous phase transitions
Partial equivalence of statistical ensembles in a simple spin model with discontinuous phase transitions
In this paper, we draw attention to the problem of phase transitions in systems with locally affine microcanonical entropy, in which partial equivalence of (microcanonical and canonical) ensembles is observed. We focus on a very simple spin model, that was shown to be an equilibrium statistical mechanics representation of the …
