Abstract
The stationary states of driven systems of particles are considered fr om the point of view of the invariant probability distributions in the phase space which characterize them. The main features of various rep resentations of such distributions are reviewed, and a brief derivatio n of the one based on orbital measures is given. We mention the limits of the mathematical derivations, and discuss the expected range of ap plicability beyond such limits. (C) 1998 American Institute of Physics .
