GENERALIZATION OF CLASSICAL STATISTICAL MECHANICS TO QUANTUM MECHANICS AND STABLE PROPERTY OF CONDENSED MATTER [PDF]

open access: greenModern Physics Letters B, 2004
Classical statistical average values are generally generalized to average values of quantum mechanics. It is discovered that quantum mechanics is a direct generalization of classical statistical mechanics, and we generally deduce both a new general continuous eigenvalue equation and a general discrete eigenvalue equation in quantum mechanics, and ...

Why does statistical mechanics 'work' in condensed matter?

open access: diamondUspekhi Fizicheskih Nauk, 2021
Abstract The reasons behind the possibility of using the Gibbs distribution in condensed matter are considered. While the basics of statistical mechanics in gases are covered in great detail in many textbooks and reviews, the reasons for using the Gibbs distribution in crystals, glasses, and liquids are rarely considered.

Fifty years of Middle European Cooperation: a personal perspective of the physical evolution in statistical mechanics and condensed matter

open access: hybridJournal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment
Abstract The 50th Anniversary of Middle European Cooperation (MECO) conferences is celebrated by recalling how from the programs of MECO meetings, it is possible to follow the evolution of Condensed Matter and Statistical Mechanics of the last fifty years. It will be unravelled a personal view of how MECO meetings in the decades actively

The Mechanics and Statistics of Active Matter [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Active particles contain internal degrees of freedom with the ability to take in and dissipate energy and, in the process, execute systematic movement. Examples include all living organisms and their motile constituents such as molecular motors.

Range separation: The divide between local structures and field theories [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
This work presents parallel histories of the development of two modern theories of condensed matter: the theory of electron structure in quantum mechanics, and the theory of liquid structure in statistical mechanics. Comparison shows that key revelations

Thermodynamic Limit in Statistical Physics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The thermodynamic limit in statistical thermodynamics of many-particle systems is an important but often overlooked issue in the various applied studies of condensed matter physics. To settle this issue, we review tersely the past and present disposition

"Deconfined" quantum critical points [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
The theory of second order phase transitions is one of the foundations of modern statistical mechanics and condensed matter theory. A central concept is the observable `order parameter', whose non-zero average value characterizes one or more phases and ...

Experimentally Accessible Witnesses of Many-Body Localization [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The phenomenon of many-body localized (MBL) systems has attracted significant interest in recent years, for its intriguing implications from a perspective of both condensed-matter and statistical physics: they are insulators even at non-zero temperature ...

On Renormalization Group Flows and Polymer Algebras [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
In this talk methods for a rigorous control of the renormalization group (RG) flow of field theories are discussed. The RG equations involve the flow of an infinite number of local partition functions.
