ON THEORY OF THE STATISTICAL GENERATING FUNCTIONAL FOR THE ORDER PARAMETER(I)— GNERAL FORMALISM

A theoretical scheme using closed time-path Green's functions is proposed to describe the quantum statistical properties of the order parameter in terms of.a generating functional.The dynamic ewlutionj,s generated by a driving source, while the statistical correlation by a fluctuation source, The statistical causality is shown to hold explicitly and to give rise to a number of important consequences. The pmbletn of determining the quantum statistical properties for the,order parameter is reduced to finding a solution of the functional equation for it.     

QUANTUM FLUCTUATION OF THE ORDER PARAMETER AND THE OPTICAL ABSORPTION IN POLYACETYLENEO

We study in this paper the effects of lattice quantum fluctuations upon the order parametert in the Peierls systems by using the Green's function technique.We start from the discrete Su-Schrief fer-Heeger model with quantized phonon field and derive a coupled system of equations for the order parameter and Green's functions.It turns out that the order parameter is reduced compared with the adiabatic value but the Peierls instability survives the quantum fluctuations in agreement with,Monte Carlo results.The band-to-band optical absorption coefficient of polyacetylene with lattice fluctuation being accounted for is also calculated and compared with the experimental data.     

Theory of irreversible processes in nonequilibrium quantum systems. I. General formalism

The theory of Van Hove for nonequilibrium quantum statistical mechanics is extensively reformulated in terms of a superspace (a kind of operator space). This reformulation enables us to introduce a diagrammatic method which makes it convenient to deal with practical problems in physical systems. In our formalism, quantum statistical effects are considered on the basis of a systematic rule for the contraction technique. A complicated statistical effect in boson or fermion systems can be treated by starting with a simple unsymmetrized formalism in the Boltzmann statistics.     

The concept of transmission in quantum mechanics

The concept of transmission between properties in a quantum system is presented independently of the Hilbert-space formalism. With it, most of the essential features of quantum theory are described. Some explicit calculations are performed for simple systems in the Hilbert-space representation. It is suggested that many features arising from the linear structure of Hilbert spaces should not be assigned any physical meaning. The proposed scheme is compatible with the propensity interpretation in a realistic, non-statistical approach without hidden variables.     

Distinguishability of particles in glass-forming systems

The distinguishability of particles has important implications for calculating the partition function in statistical mechanics. While there are standard formulations for systems of identical particles that are either fully distinguishable or fully indistinguishable, many realistic systems do not fall into either of these limiting cases. In particular, the glass transition involves a continuous transition from an ergodic liquid system of indistinguishable particles to a nonergodic glassy system where the particles become distinguishable. While the question of partial distinguishability of microstates has been treated previously in quantum information theory, this issue has not yet been addressed for a system of classical particles. In this paper, we present a general theoretical formalism for quantifying particle distinguishability in classical systems. This formalism is based on a classical definition of relative entropy, such as applied in quantum information theory. Example calculations for a simple glass-forming system demonstrate the continuous onset of distinguishability as temperature is lowered. We also examine the loss of distinguishability in the limit of long observation time, coinciding with the restoration of ergodicity. We discuss some of the general implications of our work, including the direct connection to topological constraint theory of glass. We also discuss qualitative features of distinguishability as they relate to the Second and Third Laws of thermodynamics.     

On the noise operator approach to quantized dissipative systems

Invoking complex classical coordinates and momenta a consistent Hamiltonian theory suitable for the quantization of dissipative systems has been developed previously. In another paper this formalism has been illustrated on the basis of a simple order parameter equation by means of density operator techniques. This quite naturally calls for a comparison with quantum noise operator techniques. The present paper is an attempt to satisfy these demands. Extensive use will be made of operator ordering techniques and quasi-classical Fokker-Planck equations. As before, a certain incompleteness in the extractable information is clearly exhibited. It will be observed that the two techniques do not produce similar results in a general dynamical state as a consequence of dissipation. However, in the stationary state and within certain approximations both methods do lead to identical conclusions for the order parameters statistics. It will be argued that within the present context in general noise operator techniques are to be favoured.     

Mathematical Theory of Non-Equilibrium Quantum Statistical Mechanics

We review and further develop a mathematical framework for non-equilibrium quantum statistical mechanics recently proposed in refs. 1–7. In the algebraic formalism of quantum statistical mechanics we introduce notions of non-equilibrium steady states, entropy production and heat fluxes, and study their properties. Our basic paradigm is a model of a small (finite) quantum system coupled to several independent thermal reservoirs. We exhibit examples of such systems which have strictly positive entropy production.     

ON AN APPROXIMATE FORM OF THE COUPLED EQUATIONS OF THE ORDER PARAMETER WITH THE WEAK ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD FOR THE IDEAL SUPERCONDUCTOR

A simplified derivation of the macroscopic electrodynamic equations of Umezawa, Hancini et al. for superconductors is given in the framework of the closed time path Green's functions (CTPGF)using generalized Ward-Takahashi identities. It is shown that the forms of the equations obtained are the same for both thermoe quilibrium and nonequilibrium stationary states provided the electromagnetic field is weak and its effect on the modulus of the order parameter can be neglected. The statistical behavior of the states is completely specified in the equations by parameters which can be calculated by the method of CTPGF.     

VARIATIONAL TREATMENT WITH THE THIRD ORDER CORRECTIONS FOR SU(2) LATTICE GAUGE THEORY

The variational method in Lagrangian formalism in lattice gauge theory in cumulant expansion is discussed. For SU(2) pure gauge Wi1son model to the third order corrections we show that there is no phase transition in four dimensions, but there exists the first order phase transition in five dimensions at β_C=0.838 in agreement with the Monte Carlo results. The physical meaning of higher order corrections is discussed.     

Admissible states in quantum phase space

We address the question of which phase space functionals might represent a quantum state. We derive necessary and sufficient conditions for both pure and mixed phase space quantum states. From the pure state quantum condition we obtain a formula for the momentum correlations of arbitrary order and derive explicit expressions for the wave functions in terms of time-dependent and independent Wigner functions. We show that the pure state quantum condition is preserved by the Moyal (but not by the classical Liouville) time evolution and is consistent with a generic stargenvalue equation. As a by-product Baker's converse construction is generalized both to an arbitrary stargenvalue equation, associated to a generic phase space symbol, as well as to the time-dependent case. These results are properly extended to the mixed state quantum condition, which is proved to imply the Heisenberg uncertainty relations. Globally, this formalism yields the complete characterization of the kinematical structure of Wigner quantum mechanics. The previous results are then succinctly generalized for various quasi-distributions. Finally, the formalism is illustrated through the simple examples of the harmonic oscillator and the free Gaussian wave packet. As a by-product, we obtain in the former example an integral representation of the Hermite polynomials.     

Constrained Markovian Dynamics of Random Graphs

We introduce a statistical mechanics formalism for the study of constrained graph evolution as a Markovian stochastic process, in analogy with that available for spin systems, deriving its basic properties and highlighting the role of the ‘mobility’ (the number of allowed moves for any given graph). As an application of the general theory we analyze the properties of degree-preserving Markov chains based on elementary edge switchings. We give an exact yet simple formula for the mobility in terms of the graph’s adjacency matrix and its spectrum. This formula allows us to define acceptance probabilities for edge switchings, such that the Markov chains become controlled Glauber-type detailed balance processes, designed to evolve to any required invariant measure (representing the asymptotic frequencies with which the allowed graphs are visited during the process). As a corollary we also derive a condition in terms of simple degree statistics, sufficient to guarantee that, in the limit where the number of nodes diverges, even for state-independent acceptance probabilities of proposed moves the invariant measure of the process will be uniform. We test our theory on synthetic graphs and on realistic larger graphs as studied in cellular biology, showing explicitly that, for instances where the simple edge swap dynamics fails to converge to the uniform measure, a suitably modified Markov chain instead generates the correct phase space sampling.     

On classical and quantum relativistic dynamics

A canonical formalism for the relativistic classical mechanics of many particles is proposed. The evolution equations for a charged particle in an electromagnetic field are obtained and the relativistic two-body problem with an invariant interaction is treated. Along the same line a quantum formalism for the spinless relativistic particle is obtained by means of imprimitivity systems according to Mackey theory. A quantum formalism for the spin-1/2 particle is constructed and a new definition of spin1/2 in relativity is proposed. An evolution equation for the spin-1/2 particle in an external electromagnetic field is given. The Bargmann Michel, and Telegdi equation follows from this formalism as a quasiclassical approximation. Finally, a new relativistic model for hydrogenlike atoms is proposed. The spectrum predicted is in agreement with Dirac's when radiative corrections have been added.     

Theoretical evidence for a reentrant phase diagram in ortho-para mixtures of solid H2 at high pressure

We develop a multiorder parameter mean-field formalism for systems of coupled quantum rotors. The scheme is developed to account for systems where ortho-para distinction is valid. We apply our formalism to solid H2 and D2. We find an anomalous reentrant orientational phase transition for both systems at thermal equilibrium. The correlation functions of the order parameter indicate short-range order at low temperatures. As the temperature is increased the correlation increases along the phase boundary. We also find that even extremely small odd-J concentrations (1%) can trigger short-range orientational ordering.
