Projection operators in classical kinetic theory

Zwanzig's projected kinetic equation is rederived by a perturbation method. A choice of projection is proposed which, in conjunction with appropriate initial-value conditions, yields kinetic equations for the two time distribution functions of phase subsets for a system in equilibrium. These equations are generalizations of the Fokker-Planck equations in which the dissipative terms are non-Markoffian.

It is shown that exact equations for the van Hove self and distinct correlation functions are particular cases of these equations.

The Bethe-Salpeter kernel derived is an exact...     

Functional methods in thermofield dynamics: A real-time perturbation theory for quantum statistical mechanics

A generating functional is constructed for real-time Green functions in quantum statistical mechanics in the context of thermofield dynamics. The KMS condition is taken as an axiom which together with field equations fixes the generating functional for causal Green functions in an interacting quantum field theory. This leads to Feynman rules for diagrammatic real-time perturbation theory.     

Evolution equation of the optical tomogram for arbitrary quantum Hamiltonian and optical tomography of relativistic classical and quantum systems

The dynamic equation for the optical tomogram of nonrelativistic quantum system with an arbitrary Hamiltonian is obtained. The kinetic equation in the classical relativistic kinetics is discussed, and its optical tomography representation is obtained. Dynamic equations for the Wigner functions of relativistic spinless quantum particles in electromagnetic and scalar fields are obtained. Optical tomographic-distribution functions of weakly relativistic spinless quantum particles are introduced, and dynamic equations for these functions in weak electric and scalar fields are obtained.     

Equations for generating functionals in classical and quantum statistical mechanics

This paper develops a formalism for the generating functionals for partial distribution functions in classical statistical mechanics and partial density matrices in quantum statistical mechanics. For the case of a large canonical ensemble, functional equations are written with respect to the functionals introduced. Each functional system creates a system of integral equations for distribution functions or density matrices.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii Fizika, No. 9, pp. 98–102, September, 1971.     

On the definition of entropy for non-equilibrium states

In this paper it is demonstrated how the mathematical theory of stability of motion can be applied to kinetic equations, describing irreversible processes in an isolated, homogeneous system. It turns out that functions having all the properties of entropy exist throughout the domain of definition of the kinetic equations. Since the kinetic equations depend only on variables defined outside equilibrium thermodynamics, it is possible to define entropy far beyond the range of validity of the thermodynamics of irreversible processes. It is shown that the commonly assumed properties of entropy are not sufficient, however, to single out just one entropy function.     

Kinetic equation for the processes of local reorganization of molecular systems with charged species

A molecular dynamic theory based on the lattice-gas model for the local reorganization of multi-component systems containing charged species is considered. Expressions for the mono- and bimolecular stages of the elementary processes that describe chemical reactions and displacements and rotations of molecules in dense gases and liquids are derived, with consideration given to direct and indirect effects of the initiation of electron and proton transfer. The proposed kinetic equations describe small-scale restructuring of solutions containing components of different sizes under the influence of changes in the external parameters of the molecular system at the kinetic stage of evolution of the system. The theory retains the effects of direct spatial correlations in the distribution of all the components of the mixture with the help of pair distribution functions in the quasi-chemical approximation. The dynamics of the local reorganization of molecules includes the kinetic equations for the local densities and pair distribution functions. The equations derived are intended to describe liquid-phase reactions, ion charge exchange, mutual diffusion of components of different sizes in multicomponent solutions, extraction processes at liquid phase boundaries, and photochemical processes in condensed phases.     

An approach to one-dimensional elliptic quasi-exactly solvable models

One-dimensional Jacobian elliptic quasi-exactly solvable second-order differential equations are obtained by introducing the generalized third master functions. It is shown that the solutions of these differential equations are generating functions for a new set of polynomials in terms of energy with factorization property. The roots of these polynomials are the same as the eigenvalues of the differential equations. Some one-dimensional elliptic quasi-exactly quantum solvable models are obtained from these differential equations.      

Differential equations of spin dynamics and asymptotic expansion of quantum expectation values near the classical limit. I

A large class of functional representations for spin operators in the spaces of the phase functions of a two-dimensional oscillator and functions on the unit sphere is constructed by means of generating functionals. The group-theoretical meaning of the formalism and its connection with the method of coherent states are discussed. Rules are found for rewriting the operator equations of motion in the form of differential equations for the functions that represent the operators.     

A scaling method for deriving kinetic equations from the BBGKY hierarchy

On the basis of the scale covariance of correlation functions under a coarsegraining in space and time, the Boltzmann equation for neutral gases, the Balescu-Lenard-Boltzmann-Landau equation for dilute plasmas, and linear equations for the variances of fluctuations are derived from the BBGKY hierarchy equations with no short-range correlations at the initial time. This is done by using Mori's scaling method in an extended form. Thus it is shown that the scale invariance of macroscopic features affords a useful principle in nonequilibrium statistical mechanics. It is also shown that there existtwo kinds of correlation functions, one describing the interlevel correlations of the kinetic level with its sublevels and the other representing the fluctuations in the kinetic level.Partially financed by the Scientific Research Fund of the Ministry of Education.     

Derivation of a Closed Expression of the B-S Interaction Kernel for Quark-Antiquark Bound States

The interaction kernel in the Bethe-Salpeter (B-S) equation for quark-antiquark bound states is derivedfrom B-S equations satisfied by the quark-antiquark four-point Green‘s function. The latter equations are establishedbased on the equations of motion obeyed by the quark and antiquark propagators, the four-point Green‘s function andsome other kinds of Green‘s functions, which follow directly from the QCD generating functional. The derived B-Skernel is given by a closed and explicit expression which contains only a few types of Green‘s functions. This expressionis not only convenient for perturbative calculations, but also applicable for nonperturbative investigations. Since thekernel contains all the interactions taking place in the quark-antiquark bound states, it actually appears to be the mostsuitable starting point of studying the QCD nonperturbative effect and quark confinement.     

A variational principle for actions on symmetric symplectic spaces

We present a definition of generating functions of canonical relations, which are real functions on symmetric symplectic spaces, discussing some conditions for the presence of caustics. We show how the actions compose by a neat geometrical formula and are connected to the hamiltonians via a geometrically simple variational principle which determines the classical trajectories, discussing the temporal evolution of such “extended hamiltonians” in terms of Hamilton–Jacobi-type equations. Simplest spaces are treated explicitly.     

Kinetic equations for dense fluids

It is demonstrated that the kinetic equation of Davis's effective potential theory follows directly from the application of well-defined approximations to the three-body correlations involved in the second equation of the BBGKY hierarchy. The same, simple mathematical techniques involved in this demonstration are used to derive two other kinetic equations, one of which is a generalization to high densities of the Boltzmann equation. In order to facilitate its application to the calculation of the van Hove and other correlation functions, the kinetic equation of the effective potential theory is Fourier-Laplace transformed: explicit formulae are given for the matrix elements of all operators that occur in this equation.     

Kinetics of partially coherent polaritons in semiconductors

A derivation of the equations describing kinetic and dynamic properties of a high-density polariton system excited in direct-gap semiconductors by an external laser field is given. The Keldysh diagram technique for non-equilibrium processes formulated in terms of functional equations is used. With functional Legendre transformation, Dyson equations are derived for normal and abnormal connected Keldysh-Green's functions, which describe quantum fluctuations in the system, and also for a coherent part of the polariton field. The vertices in the Dyson equation are calculated using perturbation theory. Boltzmann-type kinetic equations for the case of small time inhomogeneity of the system are obtained in Born approximation.

Derivation of a Closed Expression of the B-S Interaction Kernel for Quark-Antiquark Bound States

The interaction kernel in the Bethe-Salpeter (B-S) equation for quark-antiquark bound states is derived from B-S equations satisfied by the quark-antiquark four-point Green's function. The latter equations are established based on the equations of motion obeyed by the quark and antiquark propagators, the four-point Green's function and some other kinds of Green's functions, which follow directly from the QCD generating functional. The derived B-S kernel is given by a closed and explicit expression which contains only a few types of Green's functions. This expression is not only convenient for perturbative calculations, but also applicable for nonperturbative investigations. Since the kernel contains all the interactions taking place in the quark-antiquark bound states, it actually appears to be the most suitable starting point of studying the QCD nonperturbative effect and quark confinement.     

Properties of the functional formalism and their application to the theory of classical fluids

A general formalism is derived relating any generating functional of a hierarchy of functions to some other functionals yieldingUrsell, Husimi, and similar expansions of the original hierarchy and vice versa. There are two expansions starting with an equation of the O.-Z. type. This formalism is applied to the grand partition function with an external potential which is a generating functional for the molecular distribution functions. When the external potential is induced by adding particles to the system we obtain several hierarchies of integral equations related to each other in a simple fashion. As the Kirkwood-Salsburg, Mayer-Montroll, Green equations, the P. Y., HNC and a HNC similar approximation with their extensions are special cases of these hierarchies the relations between them become transparent. At the same time the heuristic feature in the choice of functionals and independent functions in earlier derivations of some of these equations is removed.
