An unified presentation of equilibrium distributions in classical and quantum statistical mechanics
Description
We show that in the usual description of equilibrium states in classical and quantum statistical mechanics it suffices to postulate the grandcanonical distributions and that the other two, the canonical and the microcanonical, can be obtained by taking conditional expectations with respect to the number of particles or with respect to the number of particles and the other macroscopical observables
