The asymptotic equivalence of canonical and microcanonical ensembles is a central concept in statistical physics, with important consequences for both theoretical research and practical applications. However, this property breaks down under certain circumstances. The most studied violation of ensemble equivalence requires phase transitions, in which case it has a ‘restricted’ (i.e. confined to a certain region in parameter space) but ‘strong’ (i.e. characterized by a difference between the…

It is shown that ensemble nonequivalence can manifest itself also in random graphs with topological constraints, and it is found that, while graphs with a given number of links are ensemble equivalent, graphsWith a given degree sequence are not.

This paper analyses a formula for the relative entropy of generic discrete random structures recently put forward by Squartini and Garlaschelli, and shows that in the dense regime this formula correctly predicts that the specific relative entropy is determined by the scaling of the determinant of the matrix of canonical covariances of the constraints.

This paper considers a random graph on which topological restrictions are imposed, such as constraints on the total number of edges, wedges, and triangles, and finds that breaking of ensemble equivalence occurs when the constraints are frustrated.
