Abstract

The relativistic Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution for a system of N events with motion in space-time parametrized by an invariant "historical time" τ is considered without the simplifying approximation m² ≅ M², where M is a given intrinsic property of the events. The relativistic mass distribution is obtained and the average values of m and m² are calculated. The average value of the energy in nonrelativistic limit gives a correction of the order of 10% to the Dulong-Petit law. Expressions for the pressure and the density of events are obtained and the ideal gas law is recovered.
