This chapter focuses on Liouville’s theorem and classical statistical mechanics, deriving the classical propagator. The terms ‘phase space volume element’ and ‘Liouville operator’ are defined and an n-particle phase space probability density function is constructed to derive the Liouville equation. This is deconstructed into the BBGKY hierarchy, and radial distribution functions are used to develop n-body correlation functions. Koopman–von Neumann theory is investigated as a classical wavefunction approach. The chapter develops an operatorial mechanics based on classical Hilbert space, and discusses the de Broglie–Bohm formulation of quantum mechanics. Partition functions, ensemble averages and the virial theorem of Clausius are defined and Poincaré’s recurrence theorem, the Gibbs H-theorem and the Gibbs paradox are discussed. The chapter also discusses commuting observables, phase–amplitude decoupling, microcanonical ensembles, canonical ensembles, grand canonical ensembles, the Boltzmann factor, Mayer–Montroll cluster expansion and the equipartition theorem and investigates symplectic integrators, focusing on molecular dynamics.

Classical Phase Space

In this paper we define a noncommutative (NC) metafluid dynamics.1,2 We applied the Dirac's quantization to the metafluid dynamics on NC spaces. First class constraints were found which are the same obtained in Ref. 4. The gauge covariant quantization of the nonlinear equations of fields on noncommutative spaces were studied. We have found the extended Hamiltonian which leads to equations of motion in the gauge covariant form. In addition, we show that a particular transformation3 on the usual classical phase space (CPS) leads to the same results as of the ⋆-deformation with ν = 0. Besides, we have shown that an additional term is introduced into the dissipative force due to the NC geometry. This is an interesting feature due to the NC nature induced into model.
