Summary
This study introduces a Green's function technique within nonextensive statistical mechanics, yielding spectral properties and a nonextensive spectral density method. This approach effectively analyzes equilibrium properties of classical ferromagnetic spin chains.
Area of Science:
- Statistical Mechanics
- Quantum Field Theory
- Condensed Matter Physics
Background:
- The Green's function technique is a powerful tool for studying many-body systems.
- Nonextensive statistical mechanics extends standard statistical mechanics to systems with long-range correlations or external influences.
- Applying advanced Green's function methods to nonextensive systems is crucial for understanding complex phenomena.
Purpose of the Study:
- To formulate the two-time retarded and advanced Green's function technique within nonextensive classical statistical mechanics.
- To derive and analyze the main spectral properties and spectral decomposition of the spectral density.
- To develop and validate a nonextensive version of the spectral density method.
Main Methods:
- Formulation of the two-time retarded and advanced Green's function.
- Application of the optimal Lagrange multiplier framework.
- Derivation of spectral properties and spectral decomposition.
- Development of the nonextensive spectral density method.
Main Results:

- Spectral properties and a spectral decomposition for the spectral density are obtained.
- A nonextensive spectral density method is presented.
Conclusions:
- The developed nonextensive spectral density method is effective for exploring equilibrium properties.
