We study the thermodynamics of quantum particles with long-range interactions at T=0. Specifically, we generalize the Hamiltonian Mean Field (HMF) model to the case of fermions and bosons. In the case of fermions, we consider the…

The Hamiltonian Mean Field (HMF) model of coupled inertial, Hamiltonian rotors is a prototype for conservative dynamics in systems with long-range interactions. We consider the case where the interactions between the rotors are governed by…

We present a non-perturbative, mean-field theory for the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-Tsingou model with quartic interaction, capturing the quasiperiodic features shown by the system at all energies in the thermodynamic limit. Starting from the true…

We study the phase diagram of two different Hamiltonians with competiting local, nearest-neighbour, and mean-field couplings. The first example corresponds to the HMF Hamiltonian with an additional short-range interaction. The second…

Systems of particles with long range interactions present two important processes: first, the formation of out-of-equilibrium quasi-stationary states (QSS), and the collisional relaxation towards Maxwell-Boltzmann equilibrium in a much…

We present a theory of collisionless relaxation in systems with long-range interactions. Contrary to Lynden-Bell's theory of violent relaxation, which assumes global ergodicity and mixing, we show that quasi-stationary states (qSS) observed…

Equilibrium properties of long-range interacting systems on lattices are investigated. There was a conjecture by Cannas et. al. that the mean-field theory is exact for spin systems with non-additive long-range interactions. This is called…

We present a systematic and reliable methodology, termed hierarchical mean-field theory (HMFT), to study and predict the behavior of strongly coupled many-particle systems. HMFT is a simple approximation, based upon group theoretical…

A characteristic feature of long-range interacting systems is that they become trapped in a non-equilibrium and long-lived quasi-stationary state (QSS) during the early stages of their development. We present a comprehensive review of…

The Hamiltonian Mean Field (HMF) model has a low-energy phase where $N$ particles are trapped inside a cluster. Here, we investigate some properties of the trapping/untrapping mechanism of a single particle into/outside the cluster. Since…

We consider the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of the Hamiltonian Mean Field (HMF) model, by focusing in particular on the properties of single-particle diffusion. As we shall here demonstrate analytically, if the autocorrelation of momenta in…
