I present recent results in quantum statistical mechanics, obtained in joint works with Mathieu Lewin and Phan Th{\`a}nh Nam. We consider a certain mean-field limit of the grand-canonical ensemble for a Bose gas at positive temperature. In…
On a compact three-dimensional Riemannian manifold with boundary, we prove the compactness of the full set of conformal metrics with positive constant scalar curvature and constant mean curvature on the boundary. This involves a blow-up…
We single out a notion of staticity which applies to any domain in hyperbolic space whose boundary is a non-compact totally umbilical hypersurface. For (time-symmetric) initial data sets modeled at infinity on any of these latter examples,…
We show that the diffusion-based models proposed in Refs.~\cite{Perez2021,Landau2022} within the framework of Unimodular Gravity (UG) to alleviate the $H_0$ tension are incompatible with the second law of thermodynamics. Starting from the…
We consider in this paper the rigorous justification of the Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation from the Euler-Poisson system for uniformly magnetized plasmas. We first provide a proof of the local well-posedness of the Cauchy problem for the…
The grand potential of a classical Coulomb system has universal finite-size corrections similar to the ones which occur in the free energy of a simple critical system : the massless Gaussian field. Here, the Coulomb system is assumed to be…
Positivity bounds are bounds on the Wilson coefficients of an effective field theory. They hold, if the ultraviolet completion satisfies unitarity, microcausality, locality and Lorentz symmetry; accordingly their violation signals a…
We prove convergence of the multi-body correlation function as a power series in the density. We work in the context of the cluster expansion in the canonical ensemble and we obtain bounds uniform in the volume and the number of particles.…
This paper considers the existence of conformally compact Einstein metrics on 4-manifolds. A reasonably complete understanding is obtained for the existence of such metrics with prescribed conformal infinity, when the conformal infinity is…
We prove a Central Limit Theorem for the linear statistics of two-dimensional Coulomb gases, with arbitrary inverse temperature and general confining potential, at the macroscopic and mesoscopic scales and possibly near the boundary of the…
We have verified various proposals that were suggested in our last paper concerning the continuum limit of a compact formulation of the lattice U(1) pure gauge theory in 4 dimensions using a nonperturbative gauge-fixed regularization. Our…
We prove pointwise gradient bounds for heat semigroups associated to general (possibly unbounded) Laplacians on infinite graphs satisfying the curvature dimension condition CD(K,\infty). Using gradient bounds, we show stochastic…
Unitary Fermi gases, where the scattering length is large compared to the interparticle spacing, can have universal properties, which are independent of the details of the interparticle interactions when the range of the scattering…
We present the full thermodynamics of a fluid confined by an arbitrary external potential based on the virial expansion of the grand potential. The fluid may be classical or quantum and it is assumed that interatomic interactions are…
We consider a gas of fermions at zero temperature and low density, interacting via a microscopic two body potential which admits a bound state. The particles are confined to a domain with Dirichlet (i.e. zero) boundary conditions. Starting…
We use top-down holographic models to study the thermal equation of state of strongly coupled quark-gluon plasma in external magnetic field. We identify different conformal and non-conformal theories within consistent truncations of ${\cal…
We study a dynamics of ultracold Fermi-gases near the unitary limit in the framework of Effective Field Theory. It is shown that, while one can obtain a reasonable description of the universal proportionality constant both in the narrow and…
We derive the microcanonical partition function of the ideal relativistic quantum gas of spinless bosons in a quantum field framework as an expansion over fixed multiplicities. Our calculation generalizes well known expressions in…
We re-interprete the microcanonical conditions in the quantum domain as constraints for the interaction of the "gas-subsystem" under consideration and its environment ("container"). The time-average of a purity-measure is found to equal the…
We study the nonhomogeneous Dirichlet problem for first order Hamilton-Jacobi equations associated with Tonelli Hamiltonians on a bounded domain $\Omega$ of $\R^n$ assuming the energy level to be supercritical. First, we show that the…
