According to the reparametrization invariance of the microcanonical ensemble, the only microcanonically relevant phase transitions are those involving an ergodicity breaking in the thermodynamic limit: the zero-order phase transitions and the continuous phase transitions. We suggest that the microcanonically relevant phase transitions are not associated directly with topological changes in the configurational space as the Topological Hypothesis claims, instead, they could be related with topological changes of certain subset A of the configurational space in which the system dynamics is effectively trapped in the thermodynamic limit N→∞.
