Completeness of the Description of an Equilibrium Canonical Ensemble by a Two-Particle Partition Function

Abstract: We show that in the equilibrium classical canonical ensemble of particles with pair interaction, the full Gibbs partition function can be uniquely expressed in terms of the two-particle partition function. This implies that for a fixed number $N$ of particles in the equilibrium system and a fixed volume $V$ and temperature $T$, the two-particle partition function fully describes the Gibbs partition as well as the $N$-particle system in question. The Gibbs partition can be represented as a power series in the two-particle partition function. As an example, we give the linear term of this expansion.

Keywords: equilibrium canonical ensemble, Gibbs partition, two-particle partition function, nonlinear operator equation, unique solvability.
