| - | A characteristic volume $V$ may be given by an integral over the spatial part of ${\mathcal M}$. This is e.g. how $V$ arises in the statistical mechanics derivation in the classical setting of the ideal gas law $p := -\frac{\partial}{\partial V}\langle{H}\rangle = \frac{N}{V}\cdot k_B T$. Introducing the density $n=\frac{N}{V}$, this holds true for infinite volumes. | + | A characteristic volume $V$ may be given by an integral over the spatial part of ${\mathcal M}$.
