Statistical Physics in a Finite Volume with Absolute Conservation Laws
arXiv:nucl-th/0203027
Abstract
Recursion relations are used to exactly calculate the partition function of a canonical ensemble in which all additive charges as well as the total isospin are strictly conserved. The ensemble can consist of particles that obey either classical or quantum statistics. Recursion relations are also employed to compute observables such as multiplicity distributions and isospin fluctuations.
