Multi-resolution dimer models in heat baths with short-range and long-range interactions

Abstract

This work investigates multi-resolution methodologies for simulating dimer models. The solvent particles which make up the heat bath interact with the monomers of the dimer either through direct collisions (short-range) or through harmonic springs (long-range). Two types of multi-resolution methodologies are considered in detail: (a) describing parts of the solvent far away from the dimer by a coarser approach; (b) describing each monomer of the dimer by using a model with different level of resolution. These methodologies are then utilised to investigate the effect of a shared heat bath versus two uncoupled heat baths, one for each monomer. Furthermore the validity of the multi-resolution methods is discussed by comparison to dynamics of macroscopic Langevin equations.
