Abstract Since the advent of the notion of mixing character in statistical mechanics, it has been conjectured over and over again that the Rényi entropies provide a mixing isomorphic family, that is: given two probability distributions p and q, the mixing character of q exceeds that of p, m[q]〉 m[p], if and only if I α(q)≥I α(p) for any positive α. This conjecture is disproved by means of counterexamples.
