Statistical mechanics of Hamiltonian systems with bounded kinetic terms : an insight into negative temperature

Statistical mechanics of Hamiltonian systems with bounded kinetic terms : an insight into negative temperature / Marco Baldovin.

Recent experimental evidence about the possibility of "absolute negative temperature" states in physical systems has triggered a stimulating debate about the consistency of such a concept from the point of view of Statistical Mechanics. It is not clear whether the usual results of this fie...
