Tsallis thermostatics as a statistical physics of random chains

Abstract: In this paper we point out that the generalized statistics of Tsallis-Havrda-Charvát can be conveniently used as a conceptual framework for statistical treatment of random chains. In particular, we use the path-integral approach to show that the ensuing partition function can be identified with the partition function of a fluctuating oriented random loop of arbitrary length and shape in a background scalar potential. To put some meat on the bare bones, we illustrate this with two statistical systems: Schultz-Z… Show more

“…In passing, we mention that applications of Tsallis entropy have been widely considered in literature. Among the various systems that clarify the physical conditions under which Tsallis entropy and the associated statistics apply, we quote self-gravitating stellar systems [42,43], black holes [37], the cosmic background radiation [44,45], low-dimensional dissipative systems [38], solar neutrinos [46], polymer chains [47] and cosmological models [48,49].…”
