Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We review the microcanonical and canonical ensembles constructed on an underlying generalized quantum dynamics and the algebraic properties of the conserved quantities. We discuss the structure imposed on the microcanonical entropy by the equilibrium conditions.
