Abstract: (Elsevier)
The covariant partition function method for ideal Boltzmann and Bose gases is developed within quantum field theory. This method is a basis to described the statistical and thermodynamical properties of the gases in canonical, grand canonical and pressure ensembles in an arbitrary inertial system. It is shown that when statistical systems are described relativistically it is very important to take into account the boundary conditions. This is due to the fact that an equilibrium system is not closed mechanically. The results may find application in hadron physics.
