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

Modern 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 ...

The Mechanics and Statistics of Active Matter [PDF]

, 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]

, 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

A critique of recent semi-classical spin-half quantum plasma theories [PDF]

, 2014
Certain recent semi-classical theories of spin-half quantum plasmas are examined with regard to their internal consistency, physical applicability and relevance to fusion, astrophysical and condensed matter plasmas.

Thermodynamic Limit in Statistical Physics [PDF]

, 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

On Renormalization Group Flows and Polymer Algebras [PDF]

, 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.

Systems of Points with Coulomb Interactions

, 2018
Large ensembles of points with Coulomb interactions arise in various settings of condensed matter physics, classical and quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, random matrices and even approximation theory, and give rise to a variety of questions ...

"Deconfined" quantum critical points [PDF]

, 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 ...

Statistical mechanics of confined quantum particles

, 2006
We develop statistical mechanics and thermodynamics of Bose and Fermi systems in relativistic harmonic oscillator (RHO) confining potential, which may be applicable in quark gluon plasma (QGP), astrophysics, Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC), condensed ...
