The equilibrium ensemble for a system exchanging energy with a reservoir at fixed temperature while its volume, particle number, and other chosen controls remain fixed.

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
The canonical ensemble is the equilibrium ensemble for energy exchange with a temperature reservoir at fixed remaining controls.
The target is a member or subtype of the broader source class.

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
Canonical microstate probabilities carry the Boltzmann weight divided by the canonical partition function.
The target represents a state, property, observable, or state-dependent description associated with the source system or theory.
wp-physics-boltzmann-distributionwp-physics-canonical-ensembletong-statistical-physicsThis is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
The canonical partition function is the trace, sum, or phase-space integral of Boltzmann weights and normalizes the canonical distribution.
The target represents a state, property, observable, or state-dependent description associated with the source system or theory.
