Given $j \in \left{1, 2, \ldots, 2^N \right}$, assume each energy $E_j$ is selected with probability $P(E) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{\pi N}} e^{\flatfrac{-E^2}{N}}$. Gaussian with mean $0$ and standard deviation $\sqrt{\flatfrac{N}{2}}$ \subsubsection*{(a) Microcanonical ensemble} Consider the states in a small range $E < E_j < E+\deltaE$. Let the number of such states in this range be $\Omega(E) \delta E$. Calculate the average \begin{equation} \left< \Omega(N\epsilon) \right>_{REM} \end{equation} over the ensemble of REM systems, in terms of energy per particle $\epsilon$. For energies per particle near zero, show that this average density of states grows exponentially as the system size $N$ grows. In contrast, show that $\left< \Omega(N\epsilon) \right>_{REM}$ decreases exponentially for $\epsilon = \flatfrac{E}{N} < -\epsilon_\ast$ and for $\epsilon > \epsilon_\ast$, where the limiting energy per particle \begin{equation} \epsilon_\ast = \sqrt{\log 2}. \end{equation} (Hint: as $N$ grows, the probability density $P(N \epsilon)$ decreases exponentially, which the total number of states $2^N$ grows exponentially. Which one wins?) \section{Solution} \label{sec:solution} \newpage \listoftodos \end{document}
