- | | @#88DDEE: $ w $ ... grand canonical weight | | ||
- | | @#FFBB00: $\langle A\rangle:=\sum_{N=0}^\infty w_N\cdot \langle A_N\rangle_N$ | | ||
- | |||
- | The functional $\langle \cdot\rangle_N$ denotes the expectation in the canonical ensamble of particle number $N$. So the grand canonical expectation value $\langle \cdot\rangle$ takes sequences of observables to a real. | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Discussion ==== | ||
- | We adopt the names of observables in canonical ensamble for the grand canonical ensamble. For example, if the internal energy in the canonical ensamble is defined as $U=\langle H\rangle$, then the grand canonical expectation value of the energy is denoted by $U$ as well and if formed from the sequence of all the $N$-particle Hamiltonians $H_N$. | ||
