Global observables in statistical mechanics
Abstract: This note presents a canonical construction of global observables -sometimes referred to in the literature as macroscopic observables or observables at infinity- in statistical mechanics, providing a unified treatment of both commutative and non-commutative cases. Unlike standard approaches, the framework is formulated directly in the $C*$-algebraic setting, without relying on any specific representation.
