curprev 16:5416:54, 7 October 2024 Krcove talk contribs m 30,500 bytes +342 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. undo
