dc.descriptionThe topological pressure is evaluated for a dilute random Lorentz gas, in the approximation that takes into account only uncorrelated collisions between the moving particle and fixed, hard sphere scatterers. The pressure is obtained analytically as a function of a temperature-like parameter, beta, and of the density of scatterers. The effects of correlated collisions on the topological pressure can be described qualitatively, at least, and they significantly modify the results obtained by considering only uncorrelated collision sequences. As a consequence, for large systems, the range of beta-values over which our expressions for the topological pressure are valid becomes very small, approaching zero, in most cases, as the inverse of the logarithm of system size.
