We consider a system in which some high frequency harmonic oscillators are coupled with a slow system. We prove that up to very long times the energy of the high frequency system changes only by a small amount. The result we obtain is…
A lower bound on the grand partition function of a classical charge-symmetric system is adapted to the neutral grand canonical ensemble, in which the system is constrained to have zero total charge. This constraint permits us to consider…
We study the energy diffusion in a chain of anharmonic oscillators where the Hamiltonian dynamics is perturbed by a local energy conserving noise. We prove that under diffusive rescaling of space-time, energy fluctuations diffuse and evolve…

We present a systematic theory of dissipation in finite Fermi systems like nuclei and metallic clusters. This theory is based on the application of semiclassical methods and random matrix theory to linear response of many-body systems. The…
We consider a single particle spectrum as given by the eigenvalues of the Wigner-Dyson ensembles of random matrices, and fill consecutive single particle levels with n fermions. Assuming that the fermions are non-interacting, we show that…
Single-component quantum gas confined in a harmonic potential, but otherwise isolated, is considered. From the invariance of the system of the gas under a displacement-type transformation, it is shown that the center of mass oscillates…
In this paper, we develop a large-$N$ field theory for a system of $N$ classical particles in one dimension at thermal equilibrium. The particles are confined by an arbitrary external potential, $V_\text{ex} (x)$, and repel each other via a…
We provide upper and lower bounds on the lowest free energy of a classical system at given one-particle density $\rho(x)$. We study both the canonical and grand-canonical cases, assuming the particles interact with a pair potential which…
The one-dimensional motion of any number $\cN$ of particles in the field of many independent waves (with strong spatial correlation) is formulated as a second-order system of stochastic differential equations, driven by two Wiener…
We derive approximate expressions for the amplitude decay of harmonic oscillations weakly damped by the simultaneous action of three different damping forces: force of constant magnitude, force linear in velocity, and force quadratic in…
Using stochastic methods, general formulas for average kinetic and potential energies for anharmonic, undamped (frictionless), classical oscillators are derived. It is demonstrated that for potentials of $|x|^\nu$ ($\nu>0$) type energies…

Dissipation using a finite environment coupled to a single harmonic oscillator have been studied quite extensively. We extend the study by looking at the dynamics of the dissipation when we introduce a second bath of N identical quartic…
The emergence of a classical spacetime from any quantum gravity model is still a subtle and only partially understood issue. If indeed spacetime is arising as some sort of large scale condensate of more fundamental objects then it is…
