The kinetic equation of state auto-diffeomorphism conjecture

Let nn be the proper number density, θ\theta the temperature, β=m0c2/(kBθ)\beta=m_0c^2/(k_B\theta) the dimensionless inverse-temperature parameter, pp the pressure, ρ\rho the proper energy density, and η\eta the entropy per particle. Let K1K_1 and K2K_2 be the modified Bessel functions appearing in the kinetic equation of state

p=kBnθ=m0c2nβ,p=k_Bn\theta=m_0c^2\frac{n}{\beta}, ρ=m0c2nK1(β)K2(β)+3p,\rho=m_0c^2n\frac{K_1(\beta)}{K_2(\beta)}+3p, n=4πe4m03c3h3exp(ηkB)K2(β)βexp(βK1(β)K2(β)).n=4\pi e^4m_0^3c^3h^{-3}\exp\left(\frac{-\eta}{k_B}\right)\frac{K_2(\beta)}{\beta}\exp\left(\beta\frac{K_1(\beta)}{K_2(\beta)}\right).

Kinetic equation of state auto-diffeomorphism conjecture. The map (n,β)(η,ρ)(n,\beta)\leftrightarrow(\eta,\rho) given implicitly by these equations is an auto-diffeomorphism of ]0,[×]0,[]0,\infty[\times]0,\infty[.

This is one of the global properties needed to formulate the relativistic Euler system in thermodynamic variables. It was established in certain temperature regimes in the cited prior work, but the statement was conjectured to hold for all positive nn and β\beta.
