| contents | A system of interacting atoms is represented as an union of two subsystems, one of which is the system of atoms, and the other is an auxiliary scalar covariant field, which is equivalent to a given static interatomic potential of general form only in the non-relativistic approximation. It is shown that the auxiliary field is a superposition of Klein-Gordon fields, the parameters of which are related to singular points of the Fourier transform of the corresponding interatomic potential. The general form of the relativistic Hamiltonian system of interacting atoms is established. It is shown that the exact calculation of the relativistic partition function of a system of interacting atoms, taking into account the field degrees of freedom, reduces to renormalizing the parameters of the auxiliary field. It is established that the field degrees of freedom lead to a divergence in the total energy of a classical relativistic system - an analogue of the ultraviolet catastrophe. Quantization of the auxiliary field eliminates this divergence. The existence of a phase transition within the framework of relativistic quantum statistical thermodynamics has been proven. |
