Abstract

We discuss different aspects of the present status of the Statistical Physics focusing the attention on the non-extensive systems, and in particular, on the so called small systems. Multimicrocanonical Distribution and some of its geometric aspects are presented. The same could be a very atractive way to generalize the Thermodynamics. It is suggested that if the Multimicrocanonical Distribution could be equivalent in the Thermodynamic Limit with some generalized Canonical Distribution, then it is possible to estimate the entropic index of the non-extensive thermodynamics of Tsallis without any additional postulates.
