Statistical measure of complexity and correlated behavior of Fermi systems

We apply the statistical measure of complexity, introduced by López-Ruiz, Mancini and Calbet (LMC), to uniform Fermi systems. We investigate the connection between information and complexity measures with the strongly correlated behavior of various Fermi systems as nuclear matter, electron gas and liquid helium. We examine the possibility that LMC complexity can serve as an index quantifying correlations in the specific system and to which extent could be related with experimental quantities. Moreover, we concentrate on thermal effects on the complexity of ideal Fermi systems. We find that complexity behaves, both at low and high values of temperature, in a similar way as the specific heat.
