Resumo: Given a Riemannian manifold M one may attempt at exploring its geometry by sounding it with hard spheres. Regarding these spheres as the atomic constituents of a gas filling M, one can compute an equation of state relating its several macroscopic quantities such as pressure, volume, and temperature.
This talk is an exercise in statistical mechanics where I shall explain how the resulting equation depends on the underlying Riemannian geometry.
