This research aims to explore the geometrical structure of statistical mechanics through differential geometry.
Applied Riemannian geometry to thermodynamic models, including the van der Waals gas and magnetic systems.
Investigated scalar curvature behavior at critical points and along the spinodal curve.
Compared results derived from Fisher information metric and entropy differential metric.
Scalar curvature diverges at critical points and along the spinodal curve.
Critical behavior of curvature aligns with findings from both Fisher information and entropy differential metrics.
Models demonstrate a deeper mathematical understanding of statistical thermodynamics.
