Abstract
We have shown that, for a stable interaction with an attractive part, if the virial coefficients are all negative at low temperature, there exists a unique density ρ0 beyond which the canonical partition functions become unstable. The physical implication of this is discussed with reference to gas–liquid phase transition.
