NVU perspective on simple liquids' quasiuniversality

The last half century of research into the structure, dynamics, and thermodynamics of simple liquids has revealed a number of approximate universalities. This paper argues that simple liquids’ reduced-coordinate constant-potential-energy hypersurfaces constitute a quasiuniversal family of compact Riemannian manifolds parameterized by a single number, from which follows these liquids’ quasiuniversalities.
