C. Tsallis, NONEXTENSIVE PHYSICS - A POSSIBLE CONNECTION BETWEEN GENERALIZED STATISTICAL-MECHANICS AND QUANTUM GROUPS, Physics letters. A, 195(5-6), 1994, pp. 329-334
Two different formalisms have been recently developed for nonextensive
physics, namely the generalized statistical mechanics and thermodynam
ics (characterized by q not equal 1) and the quantum groups (character
ized by q(G) not equal 1). Through the discussion of the mean values o
f observables, we propose a (temperature dependent) connection between
q and g(G), and illustrate with bosonic oscillators.
