Polydispersity is believed to have important effects on the formation of liquid crystal phases in suspensions of rod-like particles. To understand such effects, we analyse the phase behaviour of thin hard rods with length polydispersity.…
The implications of soft `patchy' interactions on the orientational disorder-order transition of strongly elongated colloidal rods and flat disks is studied within a simple Onsager-van der Waals density functional theory. The theory…
The phase behavior of rodlike molecules with polydisperse length and solvent-mediated attraction and repulsion is described by an extension of the Onsager theory for rigid rods. A phenomenological square-well potential is used to model…
One-dimensional systems of interacting atoms are an ideal laboratory to study the Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transition. In the renormalization group picture there is essentially a two-parameter phase diagram to explore. We first present how…
Recently, an algebraic generalization of the Jordan-Wigner transformation was introduced and applied to one- and two-dimensional systems. This transformation is composed of the interactions $\eta_{i}$ that appear in the Hamiltonian ${\cal…
Systems built out of N-body interactions, beyond 2-body interactions, are formulated on the plane, and investigated classically and quantum mechanically (in phase space). Their Wigner Functions--the density matrices in phase-space…
Using Onsager's variational principle, we derive dynamical equations for a nonequilibrium active system with odd elasticity. The elimination of the extra variable that is coupled to the nonequilibrium driving force leads to the…
Within a second virial theory, we study bulk phase diagrams as well as the free planar isotropic-nematic interface of binary mixtures of nonadditive thin and thick hard rods. For species of the same type the excluded volume is determined…
Dynamics of a quantum system can be described by coupled Heisenberg equations. In a generic many-body system these equations form an exponentially large hierarchy that is intractable without approximations. In contrast, in an integrable…
Within the Onsager theory we study free planar isotropic-nematic interfaces in binary mixtures of hard rods. For sufficiently different particle shapes the bulk phase diagrams of these mixtures exhibit a triple point, where an isotropic (I)…
The Onsager formula for the free energy of the two dimensional Ising model with periodic boundary conditions is proved.
A generalized algebra of quantum observables, depending on extra dimensional constants, is considered. Some limiting forms of the algebra are investigated and their possible applications to the descriptions of interactions of fundamental…
Using a generalisation of an Onsager type approach, we are able to predict a dielectric permittivity profile of an inhomogeneous dipolar fluid in the presence of a dielectric interface. The reaction and cavity fields are calculated…
We obtain the exact ground state and a part of the excitation spectrum in one dimension on a line and the exact ground state on a circle in a case where N particles are interacting via nearest- and next-to-nearest neighbour interactions.…
In this case study, we illustrate the great potential of experimental mathematics and symbolic computation, by rederiving, ab initio, Onsager's celebrated solution of the twodimensional Ising model in zero magnetic field. Onsager's…
In the Onsager model of one-component hard-particle systems, the entire phase behaviour is dictated by a function of relative orientation, which represents the amount of space excluded to one particle by another at this relative…
Based on the paper "Fourier formula for quantum partition functions", arXiv:2106.10032 [math-ph], we show that in an infinite system of identical bosons interacting via a positive-type pair potential there is off-diagonal long-range order…
A representation of the conformal Newton-Hooke algebra on a phase space of n particles in arbitrary dimension which interact with one another via a generic conformal potential and experience a universal cosmological repulsion or attraction…
This paper concerns the Onsager-type problem for general 2-dimensional active scalar equations of the form: $\partial_t \theta+u\cdot\nabla \theta= 0$, with $u=T[\theta]$ being a divergence-free velocity field and $T$ being a Fourier…
We present a phase field model for isothermal transformations of two component alloys that includes Onsager kinetic cross coupling between the non-conserved phase field and the conserved concentration field. We also provide the reduction of…
