m It was said that the partition function Z is constant, but this is not correct, as it clearly varies with the exponent lambda_2, which in turn varies with U. I added a parenthetical aside after the identification of lambda_2 with 1/T that explicitly acknowledges this, and offers a brief explanation of why the additional dependencies don't matter. |
m Z is a number, but it is not constant with respect to the chief variable in the canonical ensemble, thermodynamic beta. |
