In statistical mechanics, multiplicity (also called statistical weight) refers to the number of microstates corresponding to a particular macrostate of a thermodynamic system. Commonly denoted Ω {\displaystyle \Omega } , it is related to the configuration entropy of an isolated system via Boltzmann's entropy formula S = k B log Ω , {\displaystyle S=k_{\text{B}}\log \Omega ,} where S {\displaystyle S} is the entropy and k B {\displaystyle k_{\text{B}}} is the Boltzmann constant.
