Where Nonlinearity in Thermodynamic Average Comes from? Configurational Geometry Revisited

For classical discrete system under constant composition, we theoretically examine origin of nonlinearity in thermodynamic (so-called canonical) average w.r.t. many-body interactions, in terms of geometrical information in configuratin space. We clarify that nonlinearity essentially comes from deviation in configurational density of states (CDOS) before applying many-body interactions to the system, from multidimensional gaussian distribution. The present finding strongly suggest the significance to investigate how the deviation in CDOS bridges bidirectional stability relationships between equilibrium structure and potential energy in thermodynamic average.
