In statistical mechanics, the metastate is a probability measure on thespace of all thermodynamic states for a system with quenched randomness. The term metastate, in this context, was first used in by Charles M. Newman and Daniel L. Stein in 1996.. Two different versions have been proposed: 1) The Aizenman-Wehr construction, a canonical ensemble approach,constructs the metastate through an ensemble of states obtained by varyingthe random parameters in the Hamiltonian outside of the volume beingconsidered.

  • In statistical mechanics, the metastate is a probability measure on thespace of all thermodynamic states for a system with quenched randomness. The term metastate, in this context, was first used in by Charles M. Newman and Daniel L. Stein in 1996.. Two different versions have been proposed: 1) The Aizenman-Wehr construction, a canonical ensemble approach,constructs the metastate through an ensemble of states obtained by varyingthe random parameters in the Hamiltonian outside of the volume beingconsidered. 2) The Newman-Stein metastate, a microcanonical ensemble approach,constructs an empirical average from a deterministic (i.e., chosenindependently of the randomness) subsequence of finite-volume Gibbs distributions. It was proved for Euclidean lattices that there alwaysexists a deterministic subsequence along which the Newman-Stein andAizenman-Wehr constructions result in the same metastate. The metastate isespecially useful in systems where deterministic sequences of volumes failto converge to a thermodynamic state, and/or there are many competingobservable thermodynamic states. As an alternative usage, "metastate" can refer to thermodynamic states, where the system is in a metastable state (for example superheated or undercooled liquids, when the actual temperature of the liquid is above or below the boiling or freezing temperature, but the material is still in a liquid state).
