Primes

• Continuity
  • In physics, classical mechanics treats trajectories as continuous (twice-differentiable, in fact, by Newton's second law); field theory treats fields as continuous distributions over spacetime; thermodynamics treats equations of state as continuous away from phase transitions, with the discontinuities themselves classified by the order of the derivative that first jumps in the Ehrenfest (1933) scheme as developed in Landau and Lifshitz (1980)

    This sourceCanonical reference for the thermodynamic theory of phase transitions; develops the Ehrenfest classification and Landau theory of second-order phase transitions, treating the order parameter as a continuous variable with discontinuities classified by which derivative of the free energy first jumps.

• Ensemble
  • Landau-Lifshitz

    This sourcecomprehensive treatment of statistical fluctuation theory (including the fluctuation-dissipation theorem and the fluctuation theory of phase transitions) applicable to and beyond equilibrium ensembles.
