Meaning of "U"
If we have a One dimensional gas, so using [tex]\beta = \frac{1}{KT}[/tex]
then we can define (if we knew partition function) the quantity U so:
[tex]U= - \frac{\partial LnZ}{\partial \beta}[/tex]
which is called "inner energy" if we call the potential of the particles V(x) my question is if somehow U (inner energy) is the derivative of a potential or something similar
